    Basic Info

    In this section, you tell us what type of business you run and how many guests you can take on a trip.

    You’ll be asked to fill in a series of checkboxes about the facilities you offer, depending on your listing type. Customers are more likely to book if they see detailed information.

    • Make sure to mention all of the amenities you have available.
    • You can add additional information to all amenities on the page by clicking the Add comment button.
     
     

    Photos & Videos

    This section is where you can show off your happy customers and their big catches. This article will teach you how to upload and rearrange your photos and videos.

     
     

    Activities & Policies

    In this section, you will be asked to list the activities you offer on your boat and also the trip inclusions.

    • Make sure to list all of your most popular activities.
    • The more information you provide, the more likely customers are to book.
    • Write down which locations you're going to visit
    • If you provide your customers with snacks, drinks, lunch, or anything else that's included in the price of the trip, make sure to mention that as well.
     
     

    Meeting Point

    Listing an exact address where customers can meet you helps all trips go smoothly. Here you can see how to set and update your listing's location.

     
     

    Description

    This is the main selling point of your listing, where customers decide whether or not to book with you.

    • Write as much information as you can about your service, the type of trips you do, and anything else that's important or unique about your business.
    • Once you publish your listing, our team of professional writers will polish your description to increase your visibility and your chances of getting booked. The more information you provide when listing your boat, the better your description will be.
    • Do you do something no other captain in the area does? Make sure to write that down so that you can stand out.
     
     

    Availability

    Here, you can set your advance notice and booking window however it suits you best, and turn Instant Book on or off. You can find more information about the Instant Book feature here.

    The booking window lets you choose how far in advance your trips can be booked. This can come in handy if you are planning on changing the prices for the next season and want to avoid being booked in the meantime.

    Start Week On is a section that allows you to choose the starting day of your week. Although in most countries, Monday is the first day of the week, in some parts of the world (including the USA, Canada, and Australia), Sunday is considered the first day of the week. Depending on your habits and preferences, you can choose and select the starting day of the week on your BoatBooker calendar, as shown in the screenshot below.
