Commission-free booking software for Sailing & boat charters operators who take bookings over WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Turn every enquiry into a ready-to-confirm booking — one flat monthly price, 0% commission.
Charter enquiries arrive as long chat threads about dates, party size and whether a skipper is needed. Retveno turns the thread into a booking so nothing gets lost between the marina and your inbox.
No credit card required · Your guests keep using the apps they already love

Real bookings don't arrive in one tidy message — they're a back-and-forth, with changed dates and afterthoughts. Watch us untangle the whole thread into a single booking, exactly like we do on autopilot.

We only read this one chat to show you the result — nothing is saved.
Built for operators
Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger once and every booking conversation turns into a pending booking with the customer name, dates, group size and contact details already filled in. Review and tap confirm — no copy-paste, no marketplace, nothing new for your guests to learn. Not a channel we connect to yet? Paste a screenshot and Retveno reads it into a draft booking.
Generic booking forms don't fit adventure activities. Whether a charter is skippered or bareboat changes the price, the paperwork and who you need on the day — as does the passenger count against the boat’s licensed capacity. Retveno lets you define your own custom fields per tour — for example passenger count, skippered or bareboat, sailing experience, catering — so every booking captures exactly what you need to run the trip safely.
The boat’s licensed passenger capacity — a legal limit rather than a soft preference — per charter type.
Sent with the booking and signed before arrival, so nobody is filling in paperwork at the meeting point. On the Pro plan.
A departure manifest you can open on your phone, carrying every custom field the booking captured — and exportable to CSV.
Charters are booked as long conversations rather than as clicks: dates, party size, whether a skipper is coming, what the catering looks like.
They are also high-value and few in number, so each one carries a disproportionate share of the week and each lost enquiry is expensive.
When the forecast moves, you move the departure — not forty chat threads. Seats, deposits and the guide assigned, in one view.
Skippered or bareboat changes the price, the paperwork and who has to be at the marina, and passenger count runs into the boat's licensed capacity rather than a soft preference.
Both belong on the booking, because both change what you commit to.
One more guest can cost more than they pay — another vehicle, another guide, another van run. Retveno works it out per departure before you accept the booking.

Retveno is a flat monthly subscription with 0% commission — bring the customers over your own channels and keep every euro. Collect deposits with a one-click Stripe link and cut no-shows with automatic WhatsApp and SMS reminders.
As separate tours, each with its own capacity, price and custom fields. A booking is then always against a specific charter type, and the passenger count is checked against that boat's limit rather than a general one.
No. Keep taking bookings on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger exactly as you do today. Connect your channels once and booking messages turn into ready-to-confirm bookings automatically.
Whether a charter is skippered or bareboat changes the price, the paperwork and who you need on the day — as does the passenger count against the boat’s licensed capacity. In Retveno those are custom fields you define per tour — for this one, typically passenger count, skippered or bareboat, sailing experience, catering. They arrive filled in on the booking, appear on the departure manifest, and export to CSV with everything else.
