WHY CHARTERS CHOOSE HOOKSET

Built for the way a charter day runs.

All of it is included for every operator, with no monthly cost.

  1. Free for you

    No monthly fee and 0% commission. Your customer pays a small booking fee, shown before they pay.

  2. Set up for you

    We build your trips, prices, open dates, and booking page at no cost, and move your upcoming bookings over from Peek.

  3. Made for the trip day

    Reminders go out on their own. Guests carry tickets on their phone, and you check them in by name. Weather call? Move the trip and every guest is told.

  4. Guests come back

    After the trip, every guest gets the photos, video, and catch from their day, plus a review link and a book-again link.

SEE HOW SWITCHING WORKS
JUST GETTING STARTED?

New to running charters?

You don't need years of bookings or a big fleet. Hookset works for one boat in its first season, and we set it up for you.

Every customer who comes back or sends a friend books with you directly, and your customer list grows from day one.

No website yet?

We build custom charter websites with booking on every trip page, so the customers you meet on the water can book you directly next time.

Questions

Switching questions.

Can you move my bookings over from Peek?

Yes. Send us an export from Peek, and we'll set up your trips, prices, and upcoming bookings for you.

What does my customer pay?

The trip price, or a deposit if you take one, plus a small booking fee at checkout. They see the full total before they pay.

Can I keep using Peek while you set things up?

Yes. Keep taking bookings on Peek until your new booking page is ready. Then we help you point your website's booking link to it.

Will my website still work?

Yes. Your site stays the same, and we add booking to it so customers can pick a trip and pay right there.
