Booking Software for Sunset Cruises
At 80 passengers and a $65 ticket, a 6% platform takes $312 from a single sunset sail. Run four sails a week and that’s over $1,200 bleeding out of your revenue every week.
At GoFish.The flat rate is $1.50 per passenger, $120 total on an 80-person sail, regardless of ticket price or season. Sunset dinner cruises, cocktail sails, private harbor tours, corporate events, and sightseeing departures. Scale your fleet or raise your ticket price and your software cost doesn’t move.
Why Is Your Booking Platform Taking a Cut?
A percentage fee punishes success on the water. Sell a $40 weeknight sail or a $150 private charter buyout, and a 5–6% platform takes more as your product improves, not because it worked harder. We never take a cut of your ticket price. Peak sailings can fill weeks out with multiple ticket types and add-ons in every booking, and your software cost stays the same $1.50 per passenger regardless.
- Every sunset booking — shared sail, private charter, cocktail cruise — lands at a flat $1.50 per guest, full stop
- No commission on ticket sales, no monthly fee, no hidden cost for evening or holiday sailings
- Peak summer sails, New Year's Eve cruises, holiday events — same flat $1.50, no surge fees ever
- At $1.50, sunset cruise guests treat it like a standard booking fee — no sticker shock at checkout
- Pass it to guests, absorb it, or price it into the ticket — all three options are on the Pricing page
We Never Touch Your Money
- Connect Stripe or Square — sunset cruise payments deposit directly into your account, not a platform's
- Next-day funding — sail Friday evening, see revenue in your account by Saturday morning
- Monthly billing based only on sails that actually departed — weathered-out evenings cost $0
- Cancel a sold-out Friday evening sail for weather: GoFish.Rocks bills you $0. A percentage platform keeps its cut on every refunded ticket.
Your Sunset Brand, Your Checkout, Your Guests
- Guests book directly on your sunset cruise page — no redirect to a third-party booking site
- Schedule weeknight sails, weekend departures, seasonal events, and private buyouts in one place
- Seats close automatically when a departure reaches vessel capacity — no overbooking risk
Automated Communication That Protects You
- Every guest who books a sunset sailing gets immediate SMS and email confirmation
- 'Sail is a Go' — one tap sends an evening departure update to every booked guest before they leave home
- All pre-sail messages are IP-logged with timestamps — full accountability on every communication sent
Built for Charter Operations
Sunset cruises run on timing, capacity, and repeat customers. GoFish.Rocks handles the operational side so your crew can focus on delivering a great experience every evening on the water.
Open-party ticketing
Sells individual seats across multiple nightly departure windows — early evening, late sunset, and private buyout slots
Waitlist management
When a sunset sail sells out, guests join the waitlist with one tap. Any cancellation sends auto-texts to the full list — first to respond claims the open seat.
USCG-compliant manifest
Auto-generated per sailing with a live headcount as guests board — ready for inspection before every departure
Departure scheduling
Set sail times, manage capacity per departure, and block dates for private charters. Every evening slot runs independently with its own guest list and manifest.
