Half-day charters with captains
Customer picks date and party size; system suggests captain availability; deposit is held; waiver signed; receipt mailed. All before the boat leaves the slip.
Boats & Marine
From slip to dock, run the whole day on one engine.
Marinas, charters, fishing boats, jet skis, paddle. Real-time availability across the dock, fuel reads, captain assignments, and waivers signed before they leave the parking lot.
Scenarios
The work your team is already doing, modeled out of the box.
Jet ski fleet across two ramps
Manage two locations under one calendar. Helmets, life vests, and fuel are inventory. Waivers ride with the booking.
Long-form sailboat charters
Multi-day reservations with mid-trip swaps, captain hours, fuel allowances, and a damage deposit policy that scales with the boat.
Paddleboard / kayak rentals
By-the-hour bookings, walk-up payments, and a single-tap return that releases the deposit.
Built for boats & marine
Features other rental software won’t build for you.
Captain assignments
Bookable captains with hours, certifications, and shift conflict detection.
Fuel reads + bills
Capture starting and ending fuel; auto-bill the customer or absorb in the rate.
Tide & weather alerts
Tide window warnings on bookings, automatic refunds on small-craft advisories you opt in to.
Slip and ramp routing
Direct customers to the right slip/ramp via SMS the morning of the trip.
Damage hold by hull length
Set a different deposit per boat class. Mid-trip swaps recompute automatically.
Coast Guard-friendly waivers
Templates accepted by major insurers; e-signed at booking.

Questions
The things people ask first.
Most operators are fully migrated in 3–7 days. Our team imports your bookings, units, customers, and deposit policies, runs a dry-run reconciliation against last month, and handles the cutover on a quiet hour. If we can’t reconcile to the cent, we keep working until we can.
On top of your flat monthly subscription, we collect a small platform fee on the booking GMV that flows through GoGo Engine. 1.5% on Operator, 1.0% on Studio, 0.5% on Fleet, negotiated on Enterprise. There are no per-booking fees, no Stripe markups, and we never touch the released portion of damage deposits. As you grow into a higher tier, the platform fee rate drops. We’re aligned with your scale.
Because we believe in skin in the game. A flat-only model means we get paid the same whether you do $10k or $10M in bookings, which doesn’t reward us for making your business grow. The platform fee aligns our work with your outcomes. If your bookings go up, ours do too. If they don’t, we’re motivated to fix that.
No. The booking widget runs on your domain, the portal runs on your domain, the receipts and confirmation emails ship from your address. The only place GoGo Engine appears is in the back office, where your team logs in.
The hold authorization is released automatically as soon as the unit is checked back in clean. If there’s damage, your team itemizes the cost, the customer e-signs, and we capture only that amount. You don’t pay Stripe fees on the released portion.
Yes, natively to Stripe, QuickBooks, Resend, Twilio, Slack, and Mailchimp. Beyond that, the public REST API and webhook firehose let you connect to anything: data warehouse, marketing automation, channel listings, internal dashboards.
Data is encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.3. Each tenant is logically isolated with row-level JWT policies. Backups are encrypted and georedundant. We’re Type 2 SOC 2 in progress and will share controls under NDA on request.
The back-office is a fully responsive PWA that installs to your phone’s home screen and works offline for dock walks and remote check-ins. Customer-facing booking and the portal are mobile-first by default.
Live chat with humans on every plan, with escalation to a named CSM on Enterprise. We answer fast because we are a small team and operators ourselves. We know what waiting on a vendor feels like.
