Owner Dashboard
Everything you need to manage your boat listings, bookings, and earnings in one place.
Dashboard Overview
The owner dashboard is your central hub for managing your charter business on Charter Boats. From here you can:
View Bookings

Managing Bookings
The Bookings page shows all reservation requests and confirmed charters. You can filter by status to see:
- Pending — New requests awaiting your approval
- Accepted — Approved bookings waiting for payment
- Confirmed — Paid and ready to go
- Completed — Past charters
- Cancelled — Cancelled by you or the guest
Instant Book vs. Request to Book
If you enable Instant Book, guests can book immediately without your approval. With Request to Book, you review each request and decide whether to accept.
Responding to Requests
When you receive a booking request, you have 24 hours to respond. You can:
- Accept — Guest receives payment instructions
- Decline — Guest is notified and can book elsewhere
- Message — Ask questions before deciding
Calendar View
The calendar shows your boat's availability at a glance. You'll see:
- Confirmed bookings — Paid reservations (blue)
- Pending requests — Awaiting your response (yellow)
- Blocked dates — Unavailable periods you've set (gray)
- External bookings — Synced from other platforms (purple)
Blocking Dates
Click any date to block it for personal use, maintenance, or other reasons. Blocked dates won't appear as available to guests.
