How do you set the monthly rate?

We look at boats in the water, current volume, what you already pay, and what you save by dropping commission. Then we quote a monthly rate that helps immediately — and we grow it with you as the business grows. Not a list price that only works later.

What does the quote include?

The whole stack in one fee: a custom-designed website — we build the front end from your brand and photos, not a template you assemble — plus booking, payments (deposit, remaining balance, or supported installment methods), waivers, Marketplace Sync for Boatsetter, Getmyboat, and Viator confirmation emails, discounts, a pricing calendar, email templates, review follow-up, guest CRM, ads attribution, crew and captain tools, and ops. After the launch brief we operate it, keep it secure, and support you in season. New features and redesigns are quoted separately.

What does the quote replace?

A commission booking platform, a separately hired website, waiver software, email tools, and review follow-up — plus the 6% those platforms take on every trip. You are not wiring that stack together yourself. Card processing stays with Stripe, in your account. Keep marketplace listings as channels if they still pay; you do not have to quit them to run the day in Slipstack.

Do you take a cut of bookings?

Zero. Guests who book on your site pay you through your Stripe account after we connect it at launch. Slipstack is a monthly quote, not a cut of the trip. Marketplace payouts stay with those networks — we split the books so you can see direct vs marketplace, we do not take a percentage of either.

Can we keep Boatsetter, Getmyboat, and Viator?

Yes. Direct checkout is the storefront. Those three stay channels. Connect the Gmail inbox where their confirmation, update, and cancellation emails land. Slipstack reads them and turns them into bookings on the same calendar as site bookings, with source badges. Listings map to your trips and boats. Pre-held calendar blocks can convert when the confirmation arrives. Conflicts and unmapped listings go to review — not silent magic. This is not an official marketplace API, not two-way sync, and not a channel manager: we do not push availability back to Boatsetter, Getmyboat, or Viator.

Can guests split a trip with Affirm or Klarna?

Yes. We enable installment methods Stripe and the lender support on your charge. Approval is the lender’s, not Slipstack’s. A deposit that holds the boat is a different job from pay later — see boat rental deposits.

How fast can we go live?

Current turnaround is 2–3 days after you send the launch brief: we design the site, load boats and trips, migrate bookings already on the books, test payments with you, then go live. The portal form is ~15 minutes — not a DIY build.

Where do the 4× and 200+ trip figures come from?

Production data from one live Lake Austin operator on Slipstack (Boat Bros ATX): about 4× the revenue they took through the old website last year, with 200+ trips booked online this season. Not a survey, not every lake, and not a promise that your season looks the same.

A custom site and the systems your shop already pays for, sold as one

Custom website

We design the front end for your brand — homepage, boats, trips, SEO pages — on your domain. Not a template. Not a marketplace skin.

Booking & money

Live availability, deposits, remaining balance, and Stripe in your account. Supported installment methods (Affirm/Klarna) when the lender allows it. Slipstack takes 0% of the trip.

Waivers included

E-signed before the dock, filed on the booking. QR, walk-up, and kiosk. Not a second vendor and not a second bill.

Ops after they book

Calendar, guest list, email templates, and review requests. One login for the crew — charters, ticketed seats, holds, and marketplace-ingested trips in the same day.

Full · not a DIY builder

What the crew actually runs

Custom site on your domain

We design it from your brand and photos. Guests never finish on a marketplace skin.

Live booking & Stripe

Deposits, remaining balance, and supported installments (Affirm/Klarna when the lender allows). Money lands in your account.

Waivers, QR, kiosk

Included. Walk-ups scan, the PDF files on the booking. Marketplace trips are not auto-waivered.

One calendar

Charters, ticketed seats, holds, and marketplace-ingested trips. The dock runs one board.

Team & captains

Invite crew, assign captains, captain dashboard for today’s trips.

Operator notes

Private notes on the booking — what the dock needs to know, not what the marketplace email said.

Guest CRM

Leads, repeat, lapsed. Your customer list, exportable. Not a row in someone else’s catalog.

Ads attribution

Which Google Ads and UTM campaigns produced bookings and revenue — on your checkout, not theirs.

Party & add-ons

Pay or deposit

Waiver & receipt

Deposits collected up front

50% deposit, pay in full, or a supported installment method. Balances charge automatically. Money moves through your Stripe account. Slipstack never touches a percentage of it.

Waivers before the dock

Included — not a second vendor. Sent with the receipt, reminded automatically, QR for walk-ups. Signed PDFs file against the booking.

One calendar for the fleet

Charters, ticketed seats, holds, and marketplace-ingested trips in one view. A ten-minute hold locks the slot while a guest pays. Pre-held blocks can convert when a confirmation email arrives.

Own the booking. Keep the customer.

Direct checkout is yours. You do not have to quit marketplaces to stop living in their inboxes.

Own the money

Direct checkout lands in your own Stripe account. Marketplace payouts stay theirs — Slipstack splits the books so you can see both. We never hold your funds and never take a cut.

Own the customer

Your own database, in your own account — leads, repeat, lapsed, exportable. Not a row in a marketplace.

Own the brand

Your domain, logo, and photos. We design the site around them — not a template. No marketplace branding on checkout, ever. Keep the listings as channels.

Switching without losing a booking or a ranking

You

Launch brief

Trips, rates, boats, seasons, deposit rules, installment checkout, and waiver language — about 15 minutes in the portal. Not a blank DIY builder.

Day 1

Build

We design the front end from your brand and photos, load inventory, and stand up accounts.

Day 2–3

Go live

Migrate bookings already on the books, test payments with you, flip the booking link, and train the crew.

Straight answers

No list price checkout. We quote from boats, volume, what you pay today, and commission you save, then book a working session. After you are in, you add boats, trips, rates, and waivers in the portal (~15 minutes), then we stand up your site in 2–3 days after you send the launch brief. That does not spin up a DIY builder.

A 6% cut on that volume would have cost more than Slipstack. Custom site, waivers, email, and reviews were in the flat fee. They kept the difference.
