Charters & Tours
A family three blocks from your harbor is deciding which captain to book this morning. Captain’s Pick puts your name at the top of their screen — not the other guy down the creek.
The top marina slot in your town is open right now.
No card required. See your own views and booking taps before you pay anything.
You’re already the best captain on the water. The problem isn’t your boat — it’s the ten seconds between “we should book a charter” and the tap that goes to someone else.
Your Facebook page reaches people who already follow you. Google buries you under booking platforms that take a cut. Meanwhile a tourist standing at the marina ramp opens our app, checks the fishing outlook, scrolls to Nearby Businesses — and calls the captain at the top.
They didn’t choose him over you. They never saw you.
Solution — Three Things Captain’s Pick Does
📍Top of “Nearby Businesses”
When someone is within a few miles of your dock, you’re the first business on their home screen. The digital version of being the first boat they see coming off the bridge.
💬Inside the local conversation
When someone posts “anyone know a good charter for tautog?” in the community feed, your listing surfaces to users in your radius — at the moment they’re deciding.
🔔A shoutout when the bite is on
