Keep More From Every Boat Booking
Marina marketplaces can take a painful share of every rental and keep the guest relationship. Kora gives boat rental operators a branded booking page with prepaid checkout, clear availability, and resource rules built for boats, captains, and crews.
Branded checkout, Stripe-powered payments, and availability controls built to prevent double-booked resources.
Marketplace fees
Stop Giving Away the Booking
Boat rental margins are already tight once fuel, cleaning, dockage, maintenance, and staffing are counted. Kora helps you move repeat guests to a direct channel, so more revenue stays with your business instead of a marina marketplace.
Marketplace channel
High fees on each booking and the platform owns much of the guest relationship, making it harder to grow repeat charters and add-ons under your brand.
Direct booking with Kora
A branded online booking page under your business with prepaid checkout, your policies, and customer data you can use for the next trip.
Operations
What Breaks as the Fleet Gets Busier
Manual calendars and marketplace-only workflows fall apart when you add boats, staff, and peak-season demand.
Double-booked boat
The same hull gets promised twice when spreadsheets and messages don't match real availability.
Captain or crew conflict
A rental is confirmed without a licensed captain or crew available for that window.
Maintenance blackout missed
Bookings slip through during service, haul-out, or dock windows when the team can't run trips.
Over-capacity rental
Guest count exceeds what the boat or regulations allow for a given outing.
Workflow
Book the Boat and the Captain Together
Kora connects branded booking, resources, availability, and payment so multi-resource trips stay coherent from dock to checkout.
Pick the vessel and options that match your listings and rules.
Only open slots that respect schedules and blackout dates.
Resource availability keeps boat, crew, and guest count aligned.
Prepaid checkout reduces no-shows and locks in the reservation.
Platform
Built for Boat Rental Outcomes
Some rentals need more than an open calendar slot. Kora supports resource-based availability so a guest can book the right boat while your team also accounts for captain availability, capacity, and operating windows.
Prepaid bookings make guests commit before they reach the dock. With collect payment at booking powered by Stripe, you capture revenue at booking time and guests get a clear confirmation.
Kora tracks availability across listings, resources, schedules, and blackout dates so you avoid double-booking a boat, opening time you cannot staff, or accepting bookings during maintenance.
Build a customer list you can bring back for future rentals, charters, and upsells instead of losing the relationship to a marketplace profile.
