Pricing Transparency & Trust: We Never Touch Your Money
Most booking platforms hold your payouts, skim a percentage off every transaction, or charge fees on cancellations. GoFish.Rocks never touches your money — 100% of every booking deposit is directly into your own merchant account.
How Other Platforms Handle Your Money
- Your money is sitting in someone else's account for days or weeks
- Payout delays are common — especially during high-volume periods like holidays and peak season
- Some platforms hold reserves, meaning a portion of your revenue is withheld indefinitely
- If a customer disputes a charge, the platform controls the resolution — and your payout
Charter operators across the country have reported having thousands of dollars held by booking platforms during their busiest weeks of the year. GoFish.Rocks was built to make all of that impossible by removing itself from the payment flow entirely.
How GoFish.Rocks Handles It: Direct to Your Account
- Your money is yours the moment the booking is made
- No payout delays. No held reserves. No platform acting as intermediary
- GoFish.Rocks bills you separately at end-of-month for $1.50 × the number of passengers on events that actually ran
- Cancelled events cost you nothing — you're only billed for completed trips
- You can see exactly what you owe at any time - no surprise invoices
The Billing Model: Simple, Predictable, Honest
At the end of each month, GoFish.Rocks tallies the total passengers on completed events and invoices you at $1.50 per passenger. That’s it. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
| Scenario | Passengers | GoFish.Rocks Invoice | What You Keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small charter operation (1 boat) | 200/month | $300 | 100% of ticket revenue |
| Mid-size fleet (3 boats) | 800/month | $1,200 | 100% of ticket revenue |
| Large headboat operation | 2,000/month | $3,000 | 100% of ticket revenue |
| Cancelled event (weather) | 0 (trip didn't run) | $0 | Refunds handled per your policy |
No percentage skimmed. No held payouts. No surprise deductions. You know exactly what you’ll owe before the month ends.
What Pricing Transparency Actually Means
Transparency isn’t just about publishing a price. It’s about making sure you can forecast your costs, trust your cash flow, and never get surprised by a deduction you didn’t expect.
GoFish.Rocks publishes its pricing publicly. There are no custom quotes, no negotiated rates, no tiers that unlock at higher volumes. Every operator pays $1.50 per passenger — whether you run 50 passengers a month or 50,000.
That’s what trust looks like in a booking platform.
Your money goes to your account. Full stop.
No holds, no float, no platform sitting between you and your revenue. We’ll walk through exactly how the billing and payment flow works.
- Direct to your account: 100% of every booking deposits directly to your merchant account.
- No holds: We never hold your funds — not for a day, not for a week.
- Flat-rate billing: $1.50 per passenger, billed at end of month for trips that ran.
GoFish.Rocks helps you run your business your way — with no percentage fees. Fair, transparent, and built for operators.
