Boat and Yacht Booking System

About

Boat and Yacht Charter Booking System is a powerful watercraft reservation WordPress plugin for companies of all sizes. The system will work both in a small water equipment rental business, e.g. a rental of rowing boats, kayaks, pedal boats, as well as the main booking system for servicing a large water port or marina. The plugin will handle a large number of vessels and allows you to handle unlimited locations.

It provides a simple, step-by-step booking process with online payments, e-mail and sms notifications, WooCommerce and Google Calendar integration and an intuitive backend administration.
