Boat rentals

Booking software
for boat rentals & charters.

Bareboat or skippered, by the half-day or the sunset cruise — take the booking, the deposit and the paperwork online.

Whether you rent bareboat or send a skipper, boat hire is about matching the right vessel to the right party on the right tide. TimeKey sells each boat from a live calendar — half-day, full-day and sunset slots — with capacity, deposit and captain all handled at booking.

Every vessel is its own unit with a maximum party size, so you never oversell a berth or double-book a hull. Assign a skipper to charters, add fuel or catering as extras, and set licence or experience rules for bareboat hire — all before the customer reaches the marina.

Take a deposit or the full charter fee up front, hold a security deposit against damage, and collect a signed waiver and passenger list in advance. Automatic reminders send the slip number, boarding time and what to bring, and your channel connections keep the same calendar in sync everywhere you list.

One availability calendar across your own site and the OTAs — never a double-booked unit.

01

Half-day & sunset slots

Sell by the half-day, full day or sunset cruise, with turnaround time between charters built in.

02

Bareboat or skippered

Assign a captain to skippered charters or set licence rules for bareboat hire — per boat, per booking.

03

Capacity per vessel

Each boat carries its own maximum party size, so a berth is never oversold and a hull is never double-booked.

04

Deposits & damage cover

Take the charter fee up front and hold a refundable security deposit, so no vessel leaves the dock uncovered.

05

Waivers & passenger list

Guests sign a waiver and confirm the party in advance, so boarding is a name-check, not a paperwork queue.

06

One calendar, every channel

List on your own site and the OTAs from a single availability calendar that updates in real time.

Every unit accounted for

The whole fleet,
on one board.

  • One board shows every unit — out, due back, or ready for the next hire.
  • A turnaround buffer between hires gives your team time to rinse, refuel and check the gear.
  • Back-to-back bookings can never collide, because each unit carries its own live schedule.
  • A cancellation frees the unit instantly and offers the slot to the next booking in line.

Cleaning blocks are added automatically between stays — a unit can't be sold mid-turnover.

Deposits & no-shows

A no-show stops
costing you a unit.

  • Take a deposit or the full amount at booking, so a no-show isn’t simply lost revenue.
  • Reminders go out on SMS, email and WhatsApp with the time and what to bring.
  • A missed booking is marked on its own and stays on the customer’s history.
  • Freed-up slots are offered to the next customer, so cancellations still get filled.
