Every open date is a trip waiting to happen.
Bookings, calendar, payments, and marketing — run through one platform, so your time goes to clients on the water, not admin on the dock.

Four waypoints from application to your first booking. You can track exactly where you are the whole way.
Apply
Tell us about your boat, your waters, and how you fish. Takes about fifteen minutes.
Get verified
Upload your USCG license and insurance. Our team reviews within two business days.
Connect your tools
Link your calendar and set up secure payouts. Both take a few minutes, at your own pace.
Go live
Your listing goes public and bookable. Customers find you, you go fishing.
Three ways to partner
Pick a level of commitment that fits your season. You can change tiers later as your business grows.
Priority placement, dedicated support, first access to new trip requests.
Captains running charters as a full-time business.

Picked up only when demand exceeds our regular captains' capacity.
Captains who want occasional trips, no set schedule.
What you get, day one
Tools most independent captains pay several systems for — included the moment you're verified.
Real-time booking calendar
Synced with your Google Calendar, so a trip booked here blocks the same slot everywhere else.
Secure payment processing
Customers pay online. Payouts land in your account without you handling a card on the dock.
Marketing & search placement
Your listing appears across iOutdoor's location and species pages — no ad spend on your end.
Verified customer reviews
Build a public track record from real trips, tied to your listing from day one.
What we ask for during verification, and why — no surprises once you've submitted your application.
Questions captains ask
Choose full payment online or a deposit with balance collected on the day. Payouts are handled through a secure payment connection you set up after verification — set once, then automatic.
Your listing is never penalized for a weather cancellation, even last minute. Customers receive a full refund and we don't retain any portion of the payment.
Yes — select every category that applies during your application, and each will have its own credential requirements where relevant.
Typically two business days once your license and insurance documents are submitted. You'll get an email the moment your status changes.
Submit your request
Fifteen minutes, six short sections. You can save and come back if you don't finish in one sitting.
