The Zero-Commission Founding Captain Plan

Here's everything you get. $0 until we send you a guest, then $39 a month:

Your own booking page and link. tidebookfishing.com/c/your-boat, with your trips, total price, deposit and cancellation rule. Guests pay the deposit straight to your Stripe account. Use it with your own clients starting day one.
A listing on South Florida's no-commission charter site. Area pages for the Keys, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Fort Myers and Naples. Rank is never for sale.
Bonus 1: Done-For-You Page Build. We build your page from your website or Instagram. You check it and connect Stripe.
Bonus 2: Dock QR Kit. Your booking link as a QR code for the boat, your business card and your phone screen.
Bonus 3: Google Book Button Setup. We help you add your booking link to your Google Business Profile so searchers can book you directly.
Bonus 4: Free Month Per Referral. Invite another captain. When they get their first TideBook booking, you both get a month free.
Founding perks. $39 a month locked for life, a vote on what we build next, and a spot in the launch announcement.

Your price: $0 until we send you a guest, then $39 a month for life.

"Pay when you send me a booking" means nothing if you can't. Here's how we will.

Area pages built to rank for searches like "Fort Lauderdale fishing charter" and "Keys fishing charter."
Founding captains get first position in every area page at launch.

We only get paid when we deliver. That's on purpose.

When a region fills, the $39 price closes there for good and new captains pay $59. We won't reopen it.

Boat show week, Oct 28 to Nov 1, 2026: captains who join through another captain's referral link that week also lock in $39 for life. The window closes Nov 1.

Why I'm building this

I'm Kevin, and I live in Fort Lauderdale. I kept hearing the same thing from captains: the booking sites bring trips, then take a big cut of every one, including the repeat guests you earned yourself. TideBook flips that. You keep 100%, and I only get paid when I've actually put someone new on your boat.

Fair questions

I already use FishingBooker. Why add this?

Keep it. TideBook doesn't ask for exclusivity. Add it as a second channel that takes no cut, and use your TideBook link for repeat guests so those trips stop paying commission. Never move FishingBooker inquiries over here, because their rules can cost you visibility or your account.

I get my clients from Instagram and word of mouth.

Perfect. That's exactly who your free page is for. Put your link in your bio and texts. Guests see your price, deposit and cancel rule, pick a date and pay the deposit straight into your Stripe. You stop answering the same five DM questions, and you pay $0 for it.

What if I get no bookings from TideBook?

Then you pay nothing. $0 until we send you a guest, and you keep using your page with your own clients for free.

What's the catch with $39?

It's the founding price for the first 50 captains, capped per region. It stays $39 for as long as you stay. Once your region fills, new captains pay $59.

Who holds the money?

You do. Deposits go straight to your own Stripe account. TideBook never touches trip money. Stripe's card fees apply either way.

How much work is setup?

Two minutes to claim. We build your page, and you check it and connect Stripe, in under 20 minutes total.

When does it go live?

Founding captains get set up first. Anglers can start booking in December 2026. We'll text you before anything goes live or costs you a cent.
