Booking Software for Long Island fishing charters
Long Island fishing charters routinely book trips from $75 to $150 per person, and those fees add up fast. At 6%, FareHarbor pulls $180 from a full 40-person trip before you even cover fuel, bait, or crew.
GoFish.Rocks charges just $1.50 per passenger, letting you keep hundreds more per trip, protect your margins, and finally scale without getting penalized for your own success.
Long Island Fishing Charter Booking Fees
Long Island party boats run 20 to 60 passengers per trip on fluke, sea bass, and striped bass runs out of Montauk, Captree, and Sheepshead Bay. At 6%, a sold-out 40-person trip at $75 per head hands the platform $180 in fees before you’ve paid for a single bucket of bait or a gallon of diesel. GoFish.Rocks charges a flat $1.50 per passenger, so that same trip costs you $60 instead of $180.
- No percentage cuts on high-volume party boat trips
- No fees when you raise your prices for peak striper season
- No fees on cancellations or refunds due to weather
- Billed end-of-month on completed trips only
GoFish.Rocks charges a simple flat fee per passenger, no percentages, no surprises, just more money staying in your pocket every time you fill the boat and run a trip, keeping your profits yours and your business fully under your control
