A Reservation System That Takes the Hassle Out of Running a Water-Based Experience Business

More Bookings, Less Operation Time

Your clients yearn to try out a new water sport or simply take in the scenery on a tranquil river cruise. At BookingHound, we know the call of water beckons your serenity-seeking customers and how much your river, lake or canal activity centre means to you. If you’re too busy overseeing boat days, lake activities or canal dining experiences, then chances are, the booking side of your business is all at sea and you may need some help.

Happily, the BookingHound activity management system controls online booking, payment handling, appointment scheduling, and advertising, so you have more time for your clients. It’s your all-inclusive central reservation system solution.

An Online Booking System That Runs a Tight Ship

Your river-riveted, canal-adoring customers long to jump aboard a boat and certainly won’t enjoy spending decades booking their tranquil river dining experience or their one-off beer-tasting cruise. Your clients crave to relax, unwind, and escape the everyday grind on a scenic river ride and take in the picture-perfect countryside or London’s skyline.

Luckily, BookingHound’s central reservation system takes charge of your boat trips, lake experiences and river cruises for your comfort so that your water-loving, peace-pursuing clients (and that includes you), can come up for air and spend more time doing the things you enjoy. BookingHound handles everything for you, leaving your customers to immerse themselves in cherished memories, on and off the water, whether it’s experiencing the beauty of Oxford on an afternoon tea cruise or soaking up the sights of Big Ben and the London Eye on a sumptuous river cruise.

Our Features

Promote More River Experiences and Canal Days. Spend Less Time Doing It.

You’re a canal, lake or river activity centre. So, you spend most of your days managing several things at once. One day, you’re running a cruise along the Thames. Next, you’re inspecting canal boat equipment to ensure it works correctly for a client’s canal day experience. You often bite off more than you can chew.

Take some time out and satisfy your clients’ yearnings for all things water with our exclusive, industry-leading BookingHound software. Let your culture vultures make a day of it on a blissful Bateaux cruise or steer a narrowboat and work the locks on an exciting canal boat day – without the faff or fuss of lifting a phone or typing out an email. Ready for less admin and more time connecting? Then sign up with BookingHound today.

Our best-of-breed platform boasts all the features required to manage your calendar and rapidly fast-track your canal and river business. Use the web browser on your tablet, smartphone, or laptop, whenever you want to book all your river activity days.
