Boat tour and charter website design

Websites for boat tours and charters

Visitors pick a tour on a phone, often the night before or from a parking lot down the road. Your website has to show what they’ll see, when you go out, what it costs, where to meet and how to book, faster than a travel site listing does. Airboat rides, boat tours, cruises, swamp tours and fishing charters: we design, build, host and update that site for one flat monthly price.

From $99/mo No setup fee No contracts

What a boat tour website needs

Five things a visitor looks for.

1

Every trip, with times and prices

List each trip with its length, departure times and price for adults and kids, and say what’s included. Private charters, sunset trips and group rates get their own sections.

A visitor who can see the price and the next departure can book on the spot, without calling to ask.

  • ✓Departure times and trip length
  • ✓Adult, child and private charter prices
  • ✓What’s included, from life jackets to bait and tackle
  • ✓Group and private bookings
  • ✓Gift certificates, if you sell them
2

What they’ll see and do

Gators, wading birds, dolphins, the skyline at sunset, a cooler full of redfish: show it with your own photos and video, and say honestly what’s likely and what’s the luck of the day.

Answer the questions people really have. Is it loud? Is it fine for kids? Can grandma get on the boat? Will we get wet?

3

Where to meet, and when to arrive

Give the exact dock or meeting address, a map, parking details and how early to arrive. Plenty of your guests are new to the area and driving in on roads they don’t know.

4

Weather, cancellations and the fine print

Say what happens if it storms, how refunds and rescheduling work, any age or weight limits, and what to bring. Clear policies, set out kindly, save calls and arguments at the dock.

Book now, on a phone

Already sell tickets through FareHarbor, Peek or another booking system? We link every Book now button straight to it, so payments, waivers and the calendar stay where they are. If you book by phone, the site shows your number on every page.

Your captains’ credentials and your safety briefing belong on the site too. We add whatever applies to your boats.

Boat tour and charter website FAQ

What should a boat tour website include?

Every trip with its times, length and prices, what guests will see, the meeting point with parking, weather and cancellation policies, what to bring, your captains and boats, and a Book now button that works on a phone.

Can you connect FareHarbor or Peek?

Yes. We link every Book now button straight to your booking system, so payments, waivers and availability stay where they are. If you take bookings by phone, the site shows your number on every page.

Will my site work for visitors on their phones?

Yes. Every page is built for phones first, with tap-to-call, directions to the dock and the Book now button always in reach.

How much does a boat tour website cost?

The same as any Happy Websites site: $99/mo for a one-page site or $199/mo for five to seven pages. Design, writing, hosting and unlimited edits are included, with no setup fee and no contract.

Do I own my website and domain?

Yes. Your domain, your content, your site. If you ever leave, we hand everything over and help you move.

Ready for a site that fills your trips?

Tell us about your trips, your season and how guests book. Send your best photos from the water, and we’ll build the site around them.
