Canoe, Kayak, SUP & Boat Hire Booking System
The complete online booking software for watersports & boat hire businesses
If you operate a canoe hire, kayak rental, SUP hire, or boat hire business, your booking system must handle equipment availability, capacity, payments, waivers and busy days without chaos.
GetaBooking is purpose-built booking software for watersports & boat hire operators — designed to increase bookings, prevent overbooking, and simplify day-to-day operations.
At just £9.99/month, GetaBooking provides a full boat hire booking system, website and mobile app in one platform.
Designed for Canoe, Kayak & SUP Hire Businesses
Whether you rent:
- Canoes
- Kayaks
- Paddleboards (SUP)
- Motorboats
- RIBs
- Pedal boats
GetaBooking gives you complete control over equipment availability, time slots and capacity.
If your business has:
- 10 canoes available per hour, and
- You want 3 canoes reserved for half-day hires,
You simply create two resources:
- Hourly Canoe Hire → capacity 10
- Half-Day Canoe Hire → capacity 3
The system automatically:
- Prevents double bookings
- Balances hourly and long-hire demand
- Maximises equipment usage
You can also assign bookings to:
- Staff / instructors
- Launch slots
- Vehicles or trailers
- Individual boats or fleets
Waivers, Safety Acknowledgements & Add-On Services
