Run Marina Boat Hire and Boat Clubs with More Control
Afloat gives marinas and boat clubs a professional booking system for fleet availability, flexible hire options, approvals, scheduling and automated customer reminders.
Professional Self-Service Booking
Let Customers and Boat Club Members Book Online
Offer a smoother booking experience without more admin. Afloat gives marinas a clear online booking journey for rental customers and boat club members. People can check live availability, choose a boat, select a slot, and complete their booking without calling the office or relying on manual updates.
This creates a more professional customer experience while helping your team reduce phone calls, avoid booking confusion and keep fleet usage visible in one connected system.
Booking Rules That Match Your Operation
Support Hourly, Daily and Multi-Day Fleet Booking
Configure booking types around how your boats are used. Afloat supports flexible booking types for every boat, including half hourly, hourly, half day, daily and multi-day hire. This makes it easier to run short leisure hire, structured boat club access, lessons, or longer rental periods from the same platform.
You can choose whether bookings are free, paid, membership-based or controlled by your own pricing model, giving marinas and clubs the flexibility to support different commercial and operational setups.
Give Your Team a Booking System That Feels Professional
Built for Professional Marine Operations. Marina boat hire can quickly become difficult to manage when bookings live in inboxes, paper diaries or separate calendars. Afloat brings the whole process together, helping professional teams run bookings with more consistency, clearer oversight and a better customer experience from enquiry to departure.
Clear Oversight for Marina Teams
Assign Boats Quickly and Keep Everyone Aligned
Keep the right level of control for your fleet. Some marinas want bookings to confirm instantly, while others need staff approval before a boat is released. Afloat supports both options, so you can auto-approve bookings or require someone in your team to review requests first.
Admins can switch between a boat view and a week view to understand bookings across the fleet, avoid clashes, and keep operations clear during busy weekends or peak-season activity.
Keep Customers Informed Automatically
Send Booking Reminders Without More Manual Work
Reduce missed arrivals and keep customers prepared. Automatic email reminders help customers and boat club members remember their booking, arrive on time, and feel confident that their reservation is confirmed. This is especially useful when you run multiple boats, high booking volumes or premium hire experiences.
By keeping confirmations and reminders inside the same system, Afloat helps your marina maintain a more polished customer journey while reducing the communication load on staff.
