# Charter Pro

> Charter Pro builds your charter website, takes bookings and payments online, and automates Google reviews via trip recaps and follow-ups.

Charter Pro is software for fishing guides and charter captains. It builds the operator a
website, takes bookings and payments online, and automates Google review requests through
post-trip recaps. It is a direct-booking product, not a marketplace or lead broker.

## What it is

- Product type: SaaS for fishing charter and fishing guide businesses.
- Operated by: Charter Pro, at https://charterprolaunch.com.
- Who it is for: independent fishing guides, charter captains, and small multi-boat operations.
- What it replaces: a DIY website builder, a separate booking tool, and manual review chasing.

## Pricing

- Starter: $160/month.
- Prime: $240/month.
- Pro: $299/month.
- All plans include the Charter Pro mobile app and a 30-day free trial.
- Commission on bookings: $0. Charter Pro never takes a percentage of a trip.
- No contracts and no setup fee. Annual billing is discounted versus monthly.

## How it differs from booking marketplaces

Marketplaces such as FishingBooker charge a percentage of every booking, so the cost scales with
the operator's revenue and the customer relationship stays with the marketplace. Charter Pro
charges a flat monthly fee, takes no commission, and the bookings, customer list, and website
belong to the operator.

## Core capabilities

- Instant AI-built website: a complete charter site generated from the operator's existing web
  presence and Google Business Profile, editable afterward.
- Online booking: real-time availability, deposits, and accept-first booking requests.
- Online payments: card payments via Stripe, paid directly to the operator.
- Trip recaps: the captain posts a photo and short report from the boat; guests get a recap and
  an automated Google review request.
- Local SEO and AEO: per-site schema.org markup, sitemaps, llms.txt, and IndexNow submission.
- Custom domains: the operator's own domain, bound and served with HTTPS.
