Keep every dollar you earn.
Commission booking sites take 10–30% of every trip. On 150 trips at $1,300, that’s up to $29,000 a year out of your pocket. DeckHand is one flat price — whether you run 10 trips or 200.

How it works
01
Build your booking page
Paste your website and your boats, trips, and rates load in seconds — just review and confirm. No site? Type them in yourself in about 15 minutes.
02
Share your link
Put it on your site, your Instagram, your truck. Guests book, pay, and sign in one go.
03
Show up and fish
Deposits are in your account, waivers are signed, everyone knows what to bring. You just captain.
Built for captains, not tour companies.
DeckHand does the handful of things a charter actually needs — bookings, deposits, waivers, guest details — without the bloat of software made for zip lines and bus tours.
Every trip you run, one page.
Inshore, offshore, sunset cruises, specialty charters — run them all from a single booking page. No juggling a fishing tool and a cruise tool.
Questions captains ask
Will my guests pay a booking fee?
Never. You're the merchant of record — guests pay you, and you keep 100%.
Do I have to give up my current booking site?
No. Keep your listing for leads if you want it. Use DeckHand for direct bookings — your website, referrals, and repeat guests — so those trips don't cost you a commission.
I'm not very techy. Is this hard to set up?
If your guests can book a table on OpenTable, they can book your charter. Paste your website and your boats and trips load themselves — you just check the details. No training required.
Where does my money go?
Straight to your bank through Stripe, the same processor Shopify and Lyft use. We never touch your funds.
Is there a contract?
No. Monthly, cancel anytime. Start with 14 days free.
