What is Online Payments?

Online Payments allow your customers to pay for the whole trip up front using a credit card. The money gets automatically released to you right after the trip, saving you precious time on the dock.


Why Online Payments?

Fewer customer cancellations

When paying for the entire trip up front, customers are 43% less likely to cancel their outing.

A higher 
security deposit

If a customer violates your cancellation policy, Online Payments will ensure that you get a higher cancellation fee – up to 90% of the trip price.

More control of your funds

The money lands directly to your account, which gives you more control of your cash flow, so you can easily disburse money to your crew. 

How does it work?

We release funds to your account (up to 90% of the trip cost, depending on your commission rate) as soon as the trip is completed. You'll usually get the payment in 1-2 business days.
