/0.0  The charter operating desk

Run the whole season from one desk.

YachtDesk automates the booking management on your website, blocks the diary, bills the extras, chases the balances and asks for the reviews, 24/7. You make the calls that need a human.

/1.0  Working while you are on the water

Your day, on autopilot.

Every charter business runs the same admin loop. YachtDesk brings a streamlined service and automation to the world of chartering.

  1. /1.1

    The moment a booking lands

    Online payment processing, with the deposit taken for the day. The diary is updated with your turnaround buffer, the skipper and captain are notified, and the guest has their confirmation before you have put the kettle on.

  2. /1.2

    The morning of the charter

    The whole team, guests, times, requests, fuel and towel count logged. Our weather analysis flags any bad weather on the horizon, and the boat is connected to the platform with AIS tracking.

  3. /1.3

    The day after

    Every guest is asked how it went, automatically. Five stars go on to your Google listing. Anything less is flagged for a phone call before it becomes a public review. The crew and boat miles are logged.

  4. /1.4

    Payment processing

    Invoicing automation has never been so easy for charters. Balances chase themselves on your schedule, extras are already logged on file, and card deposits reconcile into the ledger.

/2.0  The modules

Every part of the charter, in one place.

Each module agent works on its own and hands off to the next. A clear oversight of your business.

/3.0  For brokers

Know what you are owed. Without the mess.

Brokers place millions in charters a season and track it in Excel, WhatsApp and a folder of signed PDFs, or even paper. YachtDesk keeps the options you hold, the commission you have earned and the statements you are waiting on, and chases them in your voice.

  • /3.1

    Options, held properly

    Put a 48 hour option on a boat and the diary respects it. It releases itself when it lapses, and the operator sees it the moment you place it.

  • /3.2

    Commission for brokers

    Set your commission on each booking and the desk works out your share with ease. Run it as your brokerage platform too, managing the boats you place.

  • /3.3

    Both directions of the money

    Collect from the client and remit the net, or let the operator collect and pay you. The desk knows which way it points and who is late.

  • /3.4

    Statements chased for you

    A month reconciles into one statement. The reminders are automated and requests are handled, smooth sailing for all involved.

/5.6  Questions

Can I cancel any time?

Yes, from the billing page in one click. Access runs to the end of the period you have paid for, and your data leaves with you as a CSV whenever you ask.

What happens when the trial ends?

You choose a plan and put a card on file when you sign up, with a discount code if we have given you one. Nothing is charged during the 14 days. When the trial ends your plan starts and you are billed. Cancel before then and you pay nothing.

Does it work on my Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site?

Yes. Two lines of HTML on Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify or a hand coded site, a plain iframe on Wix, Google Sites, Carrd or GoDaddy, and a plugin for WordPress and Elementor. The desk gives you the right snippet for your builder and checks your site for it.

Do guests pay by card?

Yes. Deposits and balances go straight to your own payments account, and every payment reconciles into your ledger on its own. We partner with Stripe and Airwallex, who take a processing and handling fee, usually no more than 3.5%. You decide whether the guest pays it or you do.

Can I bring my existing bookings across?

Yes. On your setup call we import the season (bookings, boats, trips and contacts) so the diary is full from day one.
