Frequently Asked Questions
Can customers book charters and skipper courses online with real-time availability?
Yes. You can publish both boat rentals/charters and training courses online, so customers see availability and book without emailing back and forth. This reduces missed bookings and captures after-hours demand. You still control what’s auto-confirmed vs. what needs manual confirmation.
Can we run multi-day charters, half-day rentals, and scheduled course sessions in the same system?
Yes. Bloowatch is designed for mixed operations: time-slot products (courses), rentals, add-ons, and packages. The key is keeping availability synchronized so the same boat isn’t sold twice. You can also block time for turnaround or maintenance.
Can we manage fleet availability by boat (status, maintenance, blocks)?
Yes. Each boat can be tracked as a rental unit with availability and operational blocks. This helps you avoid last-minute surprises and keeps the calendar realistic for your team. It’s especially useful when the owner is also the maintenance manager.
Can we take a deposit—or use card pre-authorisation (hold)?
You can take deposits and balances due as part of your checkout flow. Or pre-authorization as an option to reduce no-shows and protect higher-value assets.
Can we collect customer details, documents, and rental agreements before arrival?
Yes. You can collect key details during checkout (or before arrival) and keep them linked to the booking and customer profile. This can include licence info, experience level, emergency contacts, and uploaded documents. It makes check-in faster and reduces dock-side admin.
Can we schedule instructors/examiners and keep them aligned with boat availability?
Yes. You can plan instructors alongside the sessions they’re teaching and ensure the right boat is assigned to the right group. This reduces “spreadsheet juggling” with part-time instructors and busy-season rostering. Everyone works from the same schedule.
Do you support certification courses (e.g., RYA/ASA/ICC/PER prep) without pretending to be the certifying body?
Yes. Bloowatch helps you sell and run structured training (sessions, rosters, customer records, payments, comms). Official certification issuance and registry steps stay with your certifying body and your internal process. In practice, you get cleaner operations and better student follow-through.
Can we export accounting-friendly data and track performance across rentals and courses?
Yes. You can keep sales structured (by product type, date, channel) and export what accounting needs. Operationally, it also helps you see what’s driving revenue—charter utilisation, course volumes, add-ons—without manual reconciliation.
