Commission-free booking software for Fishing 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.
Fishing charters get booked by phone and WhatsApp days ahead, with questions about licences and what is running. Retveno turns each of those conversations into a trip on your calendar.

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. 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.
Anglers the boat can take on one tide, with rod hire loaded against the count.
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 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.
When the forecast moves, you move the departure — not forty chat threads. Seats, deposits and the guide assigned, in one view.
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.
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.

In Retveno those are custom fields you define per tour — for this one, typically anglers, licence status, target species, rod hire. They arrive filled in on the booking, appear on the departure manifest, and export to CSV with everything else.
