The transformation
Turn interest into an approved trip without rebuilding your operation.
- Trip requests arrive through scattered texts, DMs, phone calls, and spreadsheet notes.
- Availability is manually checked against personal calendars, crew schedules, and blocked dates.
- Payments, deposits, route details, waypoints, and follow-up messages live in separate tools.
- A hosted captain profile gives anglers one clear place to evaluate your service tiers and request a trip.
- Schedule blocks, Google Calendar sync, booking settings, and approval controls keep your availability accurate.
- Stripe payment setup, messaging, waypoints, and team assignments activate around the approved trip workflow.
Three flexible service offerings
One booking platform for premium guide days, open seats, and group water time.
Fish Roulette Booking makes the rebranded service tiers clear before anglers request a trip.
Option 1
Full-service guide day
A premium guided trip where the captain supplies the plan, coaching, and equipment while staying focused on your group.
Option 2
Open seat on a planned run
Join a captain who is already going fishing. The captain fishes alongside you, so this fits self-sufficient anglers who want affordable boat access.
Option 3
Accessible group water time
The most accessible captain-led option for anglers who bring their own tackle. It is a strong fit for high school, college, and youth groups that want to get on the water more often at a parent-friendly rate.
Benefits
Built for captains who need booking software to match real fishing operations.
Set available blocks, block busy dates, require rest time, configure minimum bookings, and decide whether requests need approval.
Connect Google Calendar so busy events block Fish Roulette availability, and approved trips can stay visible in your calendar workflow.
Use pricing, block length, minimum people thresholds, cancellation policy, instant booking, and service-tier rules to match how you fish.
Let Stripe handle secure payment setup and captain payouts while Fish Roulette keeps the booking approval flow connected.
Fish Roulette keeps the marketplace economics clear: free exposure before approval, then a flat $20 platform fee instead of a percentage that grows with your trip price.

From public profile to approved trip coordination.
Fish Roulette keeps the strongest booking features connected to the moments captains already manage.
Website profile hosting and free exposure
Your hosted captain profile gives anglers a polished place to review your tiers, fishing style, availability, team, and credibility before requesting a trip.

Expert Guide, Captain's Run, and Shared Runs can all live inside one captain dashboard.
