Book the actual unit

Start with a genuine fleet choice

Publish small motorboat or larger day boat separately so the hirer cannot reserve the wrong unit or span.

The real occupied span

The hire ends after the hand-back

The fleet view follows the complete boat hire through the fuel and return check rather than reopening at the nominal event finish.

A forecast can take your whole Saturday.

Six boats booked in March, one small craft warning at seven in the morning, and every one of those bookings has to move before the first customer arrives.

  • Moved, not lost

    Shift a hire to another day and the customer, what they paid and everything agreed moves with it, so a blown-out morning is a reschedule not a refund.

  • The briefing is inside the block

    Every hire includes one and it is real time. Count it and two half days fit; sell straight through and the afternoon leaves twenty minutes late.

  • One boat, one block

    A booked morning removes that boat entirely, so nobody buys the hour it spends being refuelled between two hires.

A day of classes, each shown as a session with the seats booked out of the total.

Built for your yard

Built for every kind of boat hire

A Shannon day-boat outing

Block the craft through preparation, handover and the evening fuel inspection.

The lake-fishing morning

Keep the chosen motorboat, Eircode handover and marina return time clear on one booking.

A visitor collecting at the marina

Take one Eircode publicly and let dock staff add the berth and access instructions in notes.

Inspection before the next hirer

The lake-fishing morning: hold the boat after hand-back for cleaning and inspection before the next handover.

The first Eircode

A Shannon day-boat outing: public booking captures one Eircode; staff add later delivery or return details to notes.

The same weekday hire

A visitor collecting at the marina: repeat this job on one chosen weekday weekly or fortnightly, ending with the arrangement.

Small motorboat or larger day boat

The lake-fishing morning: keep both alternatives on the quote, letting the organiser approve the suitable service lines online.

Bank transfer reaches the office

A Shannon day-boat outing: record the offline receipt and leave the remaining amount visible without creating a card transaction.

A return needs staff attention

A visitor collecting at the marina: keep the return note on the booking and extend unavailable time when inspection prevents the next turnaround.

A cancellation returns one boat

The lake-fishing morning: if the booking cancels, release only that unit’s interval; neighbouring hires remain where they were.

One hire from preparation to return.

The complete boat hire occupies the selected boat through the fuel and return check, with first address and contact ready.

Pro

Agreement and receipts on one hire.

A Shannon day-boat outing: the accepted quote and manually recorded bank transfer keep one amount visible while settlement remains offline.

  • Approve the quote first

    A Shannon day-boat outing: keep the accepted option, span and service lines attached when the approved document becomes a booking.

  • Offline receipts reduce the balance

    The lake-fishing morning: apply bank transfer or cash to the booking and leave staff a clear amount still to collect.

  • Emails are switched on deliberately

    A visitor collecting at the marina: the operator chooses whether to enable a confirmation or reminder after details are settled.

A list of payments, each with the customer, reference, date, method and amount, with totals received and still outstanding.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your boat hire business.

Online booking

Show the boats that are actually free, then collect the selected option, time and first Eircode in one request. The booking remains clear.

Scheduling

The selected boat stays unavailable through the fuel and return check; other units keep their own hours. The booking remains clear.

Standing bookings

Regular boat hire stays on one selected weekday and can finish on a date or after the agreed count of bookings. The booking remains clear.

One boat, one block

A booked block removes that boat, briefing included, so an afternoon hire is never sold onto a boat still being refuelled.

Bonds

Store the card at booking, place the hold when the boat is handed over, and release it or keep part of it when it is back on the mooring.

Email reminders

For the small motorboat booking, staff may switch on a timed email with the agreed collection or delivery details once the plan is confirmed.

Customers

Keep bookings and offline payment history beneath each customer, whether the enquiry comes from hirers, venues and local organisations.

Team

Use working hours when assigning a late boat return, so the named dock staff is genuinely available for the handover.

Payments

Apply bank transfer to the matching hire and show what remains due. Settlement stays offline, with no card checkout or payment link.
