What running a kayak and paddle board rental business by hand costs you
Counting boards by hand
Twenty identical paddle boards, a busy Saturday and a clipboard that says you have three left when you have none.
Waivers for the whole group
A family of six, six waivers, one pen, and the next group already waiting.
Phone tag for bookings
Missed calls while you're on the water, and renters who book with someone else instead.

How it works
Always the right count
BookCollie knows how many boards are out each hour. When the last one is booked, that hour simply stops showing on your booking site, so you never promise a board you don't have.
Booked Free At 11 am every board is out, so the booking site stops offering that hour.
Your booking site
Renters book in a couple of minutes, on any phone
Paddlers pick kayaks, canoes or boards, how many, a date and a time, add dry bags or a car rack, and pay. Each person in the group gets a waiver to sign, and you get one tidy booking.
- Live availability, updated the moment anything is booked
- The full price before checkout, with fees, add-ons and tax
- Book and pay instantly, or send a request for you to approve
Paddle board rental software that counts for you
Kayak and paddle board fleets are mostly identical units. BookCollie tracks how many of each you have and how many are out, by the hour, so your booking site never offers a board that's already on the water. Pull a damaged one out of service and the count adjusts.
Simple pricing is the point: a rate per hour, half day or day, and an easy way to charge more on summer weekends. Renters see the total before they pay, with nothing added at the counter.
Run the launch, not the paperwork
Your Today screen lists every group arriving and who has signed. Staff can check groups out and in on a phone, and late returns are flagged. Reminder emails go out before each rental with your directions and what to bring.
Built for rentals, not tours
A rental isn't a ticket
Tour and activity booking tools are built around guided trips with a start time and a guide. A self-guided kayak or paddle board rental needs something else: counts of identical boats, a waiver for every paddler and rentals that start whenever the renter arrives within their slot. BookCollie is built for rentals first.
