Hire boat apps for fleets on Britain's canals, rivers, broads and lakes.

Every boat belongs to a base, with its own berths, changeover days, turnaround times and staff. Boats can move between bases for a season, carrying their history and documents with them, and head office sees availability and occupancy across the whole fleet on one screen while each base manager sees their own.

Bookings from holiday agencies, your website, the app and the phone land in one calendar. Availability is pushed back to each channel automatically, so a week sold through an agency cannot be sold again through your own site an hour later. Rates and release dates can differ by channel, all set from head office.

Each boat stores the licences and registrations its waters require, whether from the Canal & River Trust, the Environment Agency, the Broads Authority, Scottish Canals or Waterways Ireland, plus its Boat Safety Scheme certificate and insurance, with renewal alerts. Documents can be uploaded by base staff and approved by head office.

Planned winter works and emergency closures are recorded against the routes they affect, and hirers whose plans cross them are warned before and during their trip. Base teams can add local notes such as low water or strong stream warnings. When a closure ends, hirers who changed plans are told the route is open again.

Booking deposits, balance dates set months ahead, refundable security deposits and optional extras, taken by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Open Banking with Strong Customer Authentication. Agency bookings carry their own commission and payment status. Balance reminders go out automatically before each due date, with a link to pay in the app.

The named skipper, crew, ages, pets and declarations are captured and signed before arrival, with identity checks through a provider you approve. Agreements can differ by base where local terms or insurance require it. Repeat hirers start from their saved details, so only changes need to be entered.

Briefing videos for narrowboats, river cruisers and day boats, matched to the boat booked and the waters it will use, from canal locks to tidal stretches and large lakes. Hirers complete a short check before the trip, and staff see who has finished. Videos are filmed on your own boats where possible, so what hirers watch matches what they find on board.

Booking and briefing screens designed to WCAG 2.2, with accessible boat features listed clearly and a way to tell the base about access needs in advance. This supports your duties under the Equality Act and widens who can book without calling. Accessible boats can be filtered in search.

Occupancy, revenue per boat, channel mix, cancellations, damage claims and review scores by base and by season, exportable for finance. Reports are built from the same records staff use daily, so the numbers agree. Base managers see their own figures; directors see everything. Exports fit common accounting tools.

Hirers report a breakdown, a fouled propeller or a flat battery from the app with their location, a photo and a description. The request goes to the right base, an engineer accepts it and the hirer sees when help is on the way. Each call is logged against the boat for maintenance planning.
