Bowline offers fishing-charter captains an online booking and payment platform, with tools for shared trips, deposits, waivers, and weather cancellations.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-26 issue.

For: Fishing-charter captains taking online bookings
Worth noticing: The site says a captain-triggered weather cancellation refunds every guest in full, including Bowline’s fee, and sends a reschedule link.

Field notes

The described setup connects bookings to a captain’s existing site or to listings through Unreel Charters and First Mate. The page also outlines a mixed payment workflow: collect a deposit online, then take the balance by saved card, dock card, or cash. It lists per-guest waivers, phone check-in, optional no-show fees, and CSV export of customers and bookings.
