Your Calendar. Your Customers. Your Money.
Stop renting your business to marketplaces that take 20% and hide your clients' contact info. Charter Buddy gives you an elite smart calendar, builds your private client list, and lets you keep 100% of your profits.
Automated Scheduling.
Manual Payments.
We solve the headache of "Is this date open?" without touching your money. When you accept a request, our system instantly locks that date on your calendar.
- Total Control: You get a notification for every booking request. Accept or Deny with one click.
- Smart Availability: Accepting a trip automatically blocks that time slot so you can't be double-booked.
- Direct Payments: Once the trip is on the books, you collect the deposit however you want (Cash, Venmo, Square).
We Manage The Calendar
Your availability is our responsibility. We ensure anglers only request dates that are actually open.
You Manage The Money
We don't process payments, which means we don't charge transaction fees, hold funds, or force refunds.
How It Works
1. Set Your Availability
Mark your available dates and times. Our calendar syncs in real-time so anglers see only open slots.
2. Review Requests
Get notified when anglers request a date. Accept or deny with one click. Approved trips lock the calendar automatically.
3. Collect Payment Direct
Handle deposits and final payments your way. Cash, Venmo, Square—whatever works for your business.
Own Your Customer List. Keep Your Repeat Business.
Other platforms hide your customer's real email address so you have to keep paying them commissions every year. We do the exact opposite. Every booking builds your personal, private client list so you can turn first-time guests into lifelong, direct-booking regulars.
Private Client List
Every trip automatically adds the angler to your personal CRM. Real names. Real contact info. Yours to keep, whether they booked through us or not.
Direct Bookings (No Account Needed)
Manage walk-ups and phone calls even if the guest isn't on the platform. Secure a time slot with just a first name, or add their email, phone, and lead source to build out your private client list. We'll handle their trip alerts, and you keep 100% of the commission.
