Exciting News: Fish Roulette Set to Launch Booking Features Soon!
Countdown to Launch: Booking Features Are Almost Here!
The beta testing window for Fish Roulette is nearing its end, and we’re excited to announce that we will officially launch for bookings in the coming days! A huge thank you goes out to everyone involved for reaching this milestone and for the invaluable feedback you’ve provided. You’ve helped us create an amazing platform for connecting anglers with unforgettable fishing experiences.
Flexible Booking Settings for Captains
As we prepare for our launch, we want to highlight some key booking settings that will give our captains the flexibility they need to run their fishing charters precisely how they want. Here’s a closer look at how our booking settings will work:
1. Time Blocks & Grid
Captains can customize their trip block length and slot intervals, ensuring that their availability matches their unique fishing schedules; not just arbitrary 9 to 5 time slots. This allows for a more personalized booking experience.
2. Turnaround / Prep Time
Rest time between trips is important for fuel, cleaning, and mental clarity. Our system features a live “sample day” preview, allowing you to see your day before the anglers do. This feature ensures you’re always ready for your next adventure!
3. Minimum Trip Size
Captains can set a minimum booking requirement, whether it's expressed in blocks or raw hours. You could say “half-day minimum” or “two blocks minimum,” and our software will enforce it for you; no need for manual adjustments.
4. Instant Book vs. Approve First
With the instant booking option, qualified trips can be confirmed quicker—for those captains eager for growth. If you prefer a more controlled approach, you can opt for request-to-approve. That means co-anglers will go through a request and approval process, with payment authorization managed seamlessly at checkout.
5. Volume Pricing
Want to fill your calendar efficiently? Our optional tiered discounts reward longer bookings with higher percentage discounts. This way, your strategy can focus on maximizing your calendar without slashing your hourly rates.
6. Group / Per-Head Economics
Our per-person add-on feature lets captains adjust pricing based on additional guests without needing to rewrite base rates. This allows for fair pricing that reflects the true cost of a trip, including fuel and tackle for extra guests.
7. Cancellation Clarity
Transparency is crucial. Our system specifies minimum notice periods along with clear cancellation fees, reducing disputes and making it easy to list the rules in FAQ-style posts. You’ll always know where you stand when it comes to cancellations.
Get Ready to Book!
We’re thrilled about the launch of these features and how they will empower captains to enhance their fishing charter businesses. If you’re not yet a part of Fish Roulette, now is a great time to join for updates, and be among the first to experience this exciting platform.
Stay tuned for the launch updates and get ready to dive into an exciting fishing season!
