Do you book kayaks as a count or as named boats?

Usually a count: twelve yellow kayaks, three tandems. Guided trips are a different product — a departure with a roster — sitting next to rentals on the same board.

Can someone rent four kayaks on one checkout?

Yes. Multi-item rentals are the common path. Inventory decrements by the count for that launch window.

$999/month, 0% booking commission. Stripe processing still applies.

Q: Rentals vs guided trips?

A rental is inventory out and back. A guided trip is a scheduled experience with a meeting time and a headcount. Slipstack runs both; they should not share one sloppy calendar cell.

Kayak rental is a count problem wearing a life jacket. You do not sell “the kayak.” You sell four singles and a tandem at 9 a.m., then again at 1 p.m., with waivers for every paddler and a launch that cannot exceed what you actually have in the rack. $999/month. 0% of the rental.

Counts, launches, and the guided-trip split

Inventory quantities

Singles, tandems, boards if you rent them. Over-selling by two at 10 a.m. is how you buy extra hulls you did not mean to.

Launch times

A wave of walk-ups at noon is not the same product as a reserved 9 a.m. window. Put launch capacity on the clock.

Multi-item bookings

Families take three kayaks. One checkout, one deposit, one waiver packet — inventory drops by three.

Rentals vs guided trips

Guided is a trip: meeting time, guide, roster. Rental is gear out. Mixing them in one spreadsheet cell is how double-books happen. See trip booking software for the guided side.

Waivers

Every paddler. Guardian for minors. QR when they showed up without booking.

Turnaround

Boats come back wet. The next window needs a buffer you actually honor.

Guided departures: trip booking software. Timed unique units like PWCs: jet ski rental software. Broader gear: equipment rental software.
