Running a Boat Hire Business on Spreadsheets Is a Liability
Vessel bookings booked twice, handover checklists lost in email, safety certificates expiring unnoticed — manual processes cost you money and put licences at risk. Seasonal surges make it worse, with enquiries arriving faster than you can respond.

“We used to run bookings on a whiteboard and a spreadsheet. Renttix gave us online booking, certificate tracking, and automated reminders in one go — we'd never go back.”
Boat Rental Software — Common Questions
Yes — each boat has its own availability calendar and customers can select by size, type, or other attributes you define.
Each vessel has a document vault. Certs are attached per boat and the system alerts you before any document expires so you are never caught short.
Renttix supports any hire duration. You set your available slots and pricing rules — hourly, half-day, daily, or weekly.
Damage deposits are held digitally and released or charged after inspection. All actions are logged against the booking for any dispute resolution.
