Sharing Made Simple
The availability of boats remains the main question when it’s shared. Users must be clear when your boat will be available and when not. With our shared boat reservations and booking software, you can easily determine who can and may use the boat and when. Our boat sharing management software is very simple and intuitive, yet lets you make many settings that are important and useful for sharing.
There are more than 70 million Americans enjoying boating and approximately 13 million registered recreational vessels in the United States, however, on average a boat is only used a total of 14 days per year.
With our shared boat reservations and booking software, you can allow your customers to book a boat or rent a boat as per their time schedule. Apart from this, with our shared yacht ownership software, you can also manage your yacht and schedule it for booking.
By providing shared boat ownership service with a suggestion based front-end, and a highly customizable back end, you can maximize your business revenue. Many boaters however have been hesitant to get into a sharing relationship because of the inherent challenges including:
- How do I ensure everyone gets equal time?
- What about service and boat maintenance?
- How can I easily mange billing and expenses?
- and probably most important - how do I find the right people?
Well, to answer the above of your questions, Nautical Monkey is the perfect partner for operators looking to spend less time booking reservations and more time on the water with their customers.
Our service allows you to easily navigate through each stage of the process. Let’s see what our boat partnership management software has to offer.
