We fire an instant text-back the moment a charter inquiry goes unanswered. Groups get a reply before they call the next guide on the list. No voicemail. No cold callbacks. Just a warm booking conversation waiting for you at the dock.
75% of fishing charters are booked January–April for the entire summer season — miss the booking window, miss the season.
Why fishing guides lose charters
75% of fishing charters are booked January–April for the entire summer season. A missed call during those four months doesn't cost you one trip — it costs you all of them.
When six guys are planning a fishing trip, they don't call one guide and wait. They call three or four at once and go with whoever responds first. Speed wins the group booking.
You can't answer calls from a boat in the middle of a charter. Meanwhile, back at the dock, this year's most profitable group trip is calling and about to leave a voicemail.
Groups planning destination fishing trips research late at night and on weekends. If your website can't respond to an after-hours inquiry, you're invisible when they're buying.
How it works
You're running a trip. The phone rings and goes to voicemail. The guys planning next summer's fishing trip hear your voicemail greeting and immediately call the next guide on the list.
"Hi, this is [Your Company]. Sorry we missed you — looking to book a fishing charter? How many in your group and what dates are you thinking?" The conversation starts before they dial the next guide.
Their reply — group size, target species, dates, trip type — creates a booking thread you see the moment you return. Hot leads are flagged so you can close the group charter first.
Founding-client pricing
Foundation: website + hosting + 24/7 AI chatbot + Google Business Profile + missed-call text-back. Growth adds local SEO, invoicing, and the charter pipeline at $997/mo. Full Office adds a 24/7 AI phone receptionist at $1,497/mo.
Yes. We build the chatbot with your specific waters, target species, trip types, and seasonal windows during onboarding. A group asking about walleye in June vs. bass in September gets accurate answers about your specific operation.
Both. The missed-call text-back and 24/7 chatbot capture any inquiry — whether someone is booking six months out or calling Friday morning about a Saturday trip. Last-minute cancellations can be filled the same way.
Yes. The Growth tier CRM lets you manage multiple boats, guide assignments, and trip calendars in one place. Deposits and invoices are built in so you can collect payment without chasing down checks.
Month-to-month on every tier. Cancel anytime, keep your website and data. We earn this every month.
If you use FareHarbor, Checkfront, or another booking platform, leads from the chatbot and text-back can flow into it. If you want to simplify to one system, the Growth tier back office handles booking, invoicing, and CRM natively.
The text-back fires the day you sign on. No setup fee. No contract. 30-day refund guarantee.
