Keep your channels — lose the admin
Your DMs become bookings — automatically
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.
Commission-free
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
WhatsApp reminders
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Your enquiries become bookings — automatically
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.
Capture the details Fishing charters actually needs
Generic booking forms don't fit adventure activities. Trip length, target species and how many anglers need rod hire decide what you load and where you sail — and licence status is worth settling before anyone is on the water. Retveno lets you define your own custom fields per tour — for example anglers, licence status, target species, rod hire — so every booking captures exactly what you need to run the trip safely.
How Fishing charters actually runs
Charters sail on a tide and a forecast, and the season follows what is running. Bookings come days ahead by phone and message, usually from a group organiser rather than from each angler, and the questions are always the same three: what is biting, do we need licences, and what do we bring.
What a half-filled booking costs you
Angler count decides the boat and the bait; licence status decides whether someone can legally fish at all; rod hire decides what you load. None is difficult to ask at booking, and all three are miserable to sort out on the quayside with the tide going out.
Keep 100% of every booking
Marketplaces take a commission or per-booking fee on sales you sourced yourself. 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.
Frequently asked questions
Can I ask about licences and rod hire when they book?
Yes, as custom fields on the trip — so the answers arrive with the booking and you can load and brief accordingly, rather than finding out when everyone is already aboard.
Do I have to change how I take bookings?
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.
Can I capture Fishing charters-specific details?
Yes. Define your own custom fields per tour so each booking captures exactly the safety and logistics details your activity needs — not a one-size-fits-all form.
Is it really commission-free?
Yes. One flat monthly price — no commission and no per-booking fee. Every booking stays 100% yours.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Start free with no credit card required, upgrade when you're ready, and cancel anytime — your data always stays yours.
