The problem

Right now your booking system is a phone and a prayer.

Most captains aren't losing trips because of their boat. They're losing them in the gap between a text at 5am and a deposit that never landed.

  • Booking texts at 5am while you're already running
  • Deposits chased over Venmo, Cash App, and hope
  • Paper waivers signed on a wet clipboard at the dock
  • Weather calls that mean rewriting the whole week
  • Two boats, one calendar, and one very unhappy party
  • No idea what last June actually grossed
What changes

One system for charter fishing

Built for charter captains and fleet operators. Manage boats, accept or decline booking requests, assign crew, track deposits, and walk out with a clean manifest every morning.

01

Never double book a boat

Every hull, trip type, and schedule lives in one calendar, so a 6am offshore run can't collide with an afternoon inshore trip.

02

Approve trips before they're locked

Pending booking requests hit your dashboard so you accept or decline on your terms, not the internet's.

03

Know your day before coffee

Today's schedule shows active boats, checked-in guests, and what's coming next in one screen.

04

Sell seats, not just charters

Shared trips with seat-level payment status and per-seat manifests, so a half-full boat still sails.

05

Every mate knows where to be

Assign captains and mates to each trip right from the bookings screen, no group text roulette.

06

No more clipboard scramble

Digital passenger logs build themselves as guests book, ready before you leave the dock.

07

Dock walk-ups land in the same place

Phone calls, walk-ups, and online checkouts all enter the same calendar with the same rules.

08

See FishingBooker beside your own

Third-party bookings show up next to direct bookings so one schedule tells the whole truth.

09

Know what the season actually did

Booking, revenue, and customer reporting instead of a shoebox of receipts in February.

How it runs

A day on VrixPlay.

  1. 9:41pm

    Booking comes in

    A family books a full-day offshore trip from your site. Deposit captured, boat blocked, you get the notification.

    1
  2. The next morning

    Waivers already signed

    Everyone in the party signed on their phone before they parked. Nothing to print, nothing to chase.

    2
  3. 6:00am

    Check in at the slip

    Scan QR codes as guests step aboard. Your manifest and headcount are done before lines come off.

  4. After the trip

    Paid and logged

    Balance settled, the trip closes out, and your reporting updates without a spreadsheet.

Potential Annual Difference

$14,000

That's approximately $1,167 per month.

At $200,000 a year, every 1% in fees = $2,000/year

At $200,000 in annual direct bookings, reducing booking costs from 10% to VrixPlay's 3% could mean approximately $14,000 more retained by your business each year.

Questions

Charter fishing, answered straight.

What happens when weather cancels a trip?

You cancel the trip from your dashboard and handle the deposit your way, refund it, or move the party to a new date. The boat frees back up on the calendar immediately.

Can I require a deposit instead of full payment?

Yes. Take a deposit online to hold the date and settle the balance at the dock, or collect in full up front. Payment status shows on every booking.

Do I have to accept every online booking?

No. Bookings can come in as requests you accept or decline, so you keep control of your schedule, your crew, and your fuel plan.

I run more than one boat. Does that cost extra?

No. Fleet management is included. Add every hull, set its trip types and schedule, and there's still no monthly fee.

What about Coast Guard passenger manifests?

Guest details are captured at booking, so a digital manifest is ready for each trip before you leave the slip.
