For your trade
A charter site that books the trip
Someone booking a trip is not watching a 90-second “adventure of a lifetime” reel. They need: inshore vs offshore, half vs full, how many people, what is included, and where they meet the boat. Stock marlin in perfect light do not answer that. The boat you actually run, the trips you actually take, and a form do. A fake six-boat fleet is how you win a Saturday you cannot run.
Cheap Fast Websites sells a standard marketing site for $1,000, or $500* if you pay in full by September 30, 2026. This page is the fishing-charter version of that product: a marketing site a stranger can use on a phone. Trip types, the boat, a tap-to-call number, a form that arrives. Not a live-bait cart. Not a booking app we invent. Not a members area. If you already book in FareHarbor, Dockwa, a paper book, or texts, the site sends them there. We do not rebuild software you will not open.
Inshore vs offshore vs bay vs fly is a fork. Say which you run. Half-day vs full vs overnight is the other. Private vs shared. If you will not run a kids trip, or you will not go in a certain month, put that line on the first screen. Species and season only if they are true for your water — we will not write “always biting.” What is included: rods, bait, license, ice, drinks. Write the list. What they bring. Weather cancel: say the rule. Captain or USCG ticket only if you want it public. We typeset what you hold. We will not invent a license number. A second boat only if you actually run it.
Photos: the boat they will stand on, fish you actually caught, the dock they will find. Phone photos in daylight are fine. Skip stock sunset marlin and a rented grin. We will not steal another captain’s cooler shot. We will not write “tight lines guaranteed” copy. Use the words you use on the phone: meet, launch, half, full, seas. Prices: a trip rate if you share it. Hide it if every day is a call. Do not put “$199 any trip” you will not honor. Deposit and no-show rules belong next to the form if you actually run them.
The boat, the trip, the weather rule
- Inshore vs offshore vs bay — only the trips you take — and a line on what you do not
- Half vs full, private vs shared, max people on the boat you actually run
- What is included and the weather cancel rule
- Three to ten photos of the boat and days you ran. Phone photos are fine.
- A form: name, phone, date, people, inshore or offshore. Big tap targets.
- Tap-to-call. 813-451-2204 is how this shop does it on our own pages.
Keep the form short. Name, phone, date, how many, which trip. A 40-field questionnaire on a phone at a hotel loses the day. Put the phone in the first screen as a real tel link. Hours or “text, I am on the water” if that is the truth. Fake “booked solid all season” clocks stay off unless the book is actually full. A chat widget nobody staffs from the console is a closed shop. We will not typeset a species list you did not send.
What we will not pretend
We do not promise you will rank #1 for “fishing charter” in a busy port. Basic SEO on this job is a title, a meta description, and Open Graph. Not a map-pack prize. Not 40 inlet pages stuffed with the same paragraph. If you already have a site, check it before you pay. If the boat is real and the form works, stay and patch. If the number is a picture of a hull, or the last guy took the login, rebuild.
Not at this price: a live-bait cart, a custom booking engine, a native app, a tracker members area. Those get a quote. We will not write guaranteed limits. We will not put fake “#1 charter” awards on the page. We will not put fake NAP schema on a slip we invented. Labeled samples of other trades sit at /examples/. They are layouts, not clients.
