Where bookings and deposits slip away

These leaks show up when a busy season outgrows the systems behind it.

  • Inquiries wait hours or days for a reply, and the guest books somewhere else.
  • Bookings come in by phone, email, web and booking sites, and no single calendar is right.
  • Deposits and signed contracts get chased by text, one guest at a time.
  • Sales promised one thing. The dock, the kitchen or the front desk heard another.
  • Every spring, a new seasonal crew gets trained from scratch.
  • Final invoices go out late, and some balances never get collected.

Each one is a broken handoff, and guests often feel it. We help you find each one and fix it.

What we do

Systems that help every booking stay on course

We start with how you run today and the tools you already own.

Capture

Every inquiry in one place

We connect your phone, email, web form and booking calendar so inquiries land in one place, where your team can log, answer and track each one.

  • Reply templates for the questions you get every day
  • Follow-up for quotes that haven't booked
  • Booking channels pulled into one calendar view, where your tools allow it

Collect

Deposits, contracts and final payments

We set up how deposit requests, contracts and reminders go out from the booking, not from someone's memory. Your contract wording, deposit and refund terms stay with you and your attorney.

  • Clear steps and owners for each deposit and contract
  • Reminders before balances come due
  • A simple view of who has paid and who hasn't

Connect

Sales-to-crew handoffs

We build one booking sheet that follows each guest from the first conversation to the dock, kitchen, front desk or tour guide.

  • Event, stay and trip details in one place
  • Handoff rules everyone can follow
  • A board that shows what's confirmed, paid and ready

Document

Seasonal crew playbooks

We turn how your team already works into short checklists and guides, so each season starts with a plan. Safety and licensing rules stay with you and the experts you already use.

  • Opening, closing and turnover checklists
  • A first-week plan for seasonal hires
  • Guides for front desk, dock and event staff

Upfront pricing

How the free call and the Checkup work

You'll know the price before we start. The off-season is a good time to do this, before the phones and docks get busy.

Who you'd work with

A former captain and a back-office builder

Reco, our Founder & CEO, captained a 50-foot yacht in the Florida Keys and the Caribbean, responsible for the safety of everyone on board, the vessel and the guest experience. He has also worked as a travel agent.

Tiffany, our Founder & COO, has built phone systems and call center dialers, and built and ran call centers and accounts receivable teams.

We're a new firm, and we'll always tell you that up front. What you get is posted prices, a fixed scope in writing and a roadmap you keep.

Reco keeps the business on course. Tiffany builds the engine that gets it there.

Questions

Questions for marinas, venues and hotels

Do we have to switch booking software?
No. We don't sell software. We start with the tools you already own and suggest something new only when it clearly fits your business and budget.
Will you need our guest records or card numbers?
Not for the free call or the Checkup. Sample or blanked-out bookings are enough. If a project needs access to your booking or payment tools, we agree in writing on what we'll access first. We never ask for card numbers, and we work within the privacy and payment rules your business already follows.
We're seasonal. When should we start?
Any time works, but the off-season gives you the most room to set things up and train your team before the next rush.
Do you come on-site?
Yes, when it helps. We're a virtual company, and we work by video with businesses nationwide. On-site visits are available anywhere. Travel is billed at cost, with your approval first.
