What “trip management” should mean for a fishing guide
Most fishing guides run their business on a patchwork: a phone for bookings, a notes app for the schedule, a separate website (or none), and a mental reminder to ask for a review someday. Nothing talks to anything else, and the busywork always lands on you at the worst time — usually while you're on the water.
Real trip management for a guide isn't just a calendar. It's getting found by the angler in the first place, letting them book and pay without a round of phone tag, running the trip, and turning that trip into the next one with a recap, a review, and a rebooking nudge. Charter Pro is the software that handles that whole loop in one place — so your bookings, your website, and your follow-up work together instead of living in six different apps.
One system for the whole trip cycle
Everything it takes to get found, get booked, and get rebooked — built for you and kept current automatically.
A website that gets you found
A professional, Google-ranked charter site — built for you and tuned to rank for the trips and waters you fish, so anglers find you before they find the guide down the dock.
Learn moreOnline booking, built in
Anglers see your real open dates, pick a trip, and lock it in themselves — no phone tag, day or night.
Learn moreDeposits and payments
Take a deposit or the full amount by card at booking, straight to your bank — commission-free on Prime and Pro, so no-shows stop costing you.
Learn moreGoogle reviews on autopilot
After each trip the app texts your guest a one-tap review link, so your rating — the thing that wins the next booking — climbs on its own.
Learn moreEvery trip becomes content
Each charter turns into a fresh recap page on your site: local, indexable content that keeps you climbing in search while other guides' sites sit still.
Learn moreFollow-ups that rebook
Automatic reminders and season-start nudges keep past clients coming back, so your calendar fills from the anglers who already know you.

Frequently asked questions
What is fishing guide trip management software?
It's software that runs the parts of a guiding business around the trip itself — getting found online, taking the booking, collecting payment, and following up afterward for reviews and rebookings. Charter Pro does all of that in one place, built specifically for fishing guides and charter captains.
Does Charter Pro include online booking and payments?
Yes. Anglers can see your open dates and book a trip right on your website, and you can collect a deposit or the full amount by card straight to your bank — commission-free on the Prime and Pro plans.
Will it replace my booking system?
It can. Charter Pro includes online booking, so most guides use it as their booking system. If you already use something else, you can keep taking date requests through Charter Pro and run the rest of the cycle — website, reviews, recaps, and follow-ups — alongside it.
How much does it cost?
Plans start at $160/month and include the website plus the Charter Pro app, with a 30-day free trial and no contracts. There are no setup fees and no per-booking commission.
Do I need to be technical to use it?
No. We build and host the website for you, and the app sets up from your phone in about 15 minutes. If you ever want a change, you just message us.
