Booking and payments built for fishing charters.
3% per booking, capped at $20. $0 on repeat customers, forever. Put a Book Now button on your site, your Unreel Charters listing, or your First Mate site, and get paid next day.
Built for how charters actually run
One-click weather day
Call it from the dock. Every guest is refunded in full, including our fee, and gets a reschedule link. No phone tree, no chargebacks.
Split, private and headboat on one calendar
Sell seats on a shared trip until someone books the whole boat. Conflicts are impossible by design.
Deposit now, balance at the dock
Take a deposit online and collect the rest with a saved card, a dock card, or cash. Mate tips are never fee'd.
Next-day payouts to your own Stripe
Money goes to your account, not ours. We never hold your cash to earn float.
Manifests, waivers and check-in
Per-guest waivers signed before the trip, check-in from your phone, no-show fees when you want them.
Your customers are yours
Full CSV export of every customer and booking, always. Repeat customers cost you $0 forever.
Works where your anglers already are
Your own website
Paste one line of code and get a live calendar and checkout on any site you already have.
Unreel Charters
Live availability and a Book Now button on your listing, with verified reviews from real completed trips.
First Mate
Charter websites with booking built in. Turn it on from your First Mate dashboard, no second login.
Pricing is public because it should be.
No sales call. No negotiated rate. 3% capped at $20 per booking, $0 on repeat customers, and you choose whether the angler or the boat pays it. Bowline never charges your anglers a surcharge you did not ask for.
