A Crew Member That Works for You 24/7 – For Less Than a Casual Wage!

When you’re running a houseboat or boat charter business, it can feel like there are never enough hours in the day to keep afloat and keep everyone happy.


On any given day, you’re:


  • Fielding endless booking enquiries and answering the same five questions.
  • Chasing deposits and final payments—playing phone and email tag for days on end.
  • Trying to get hirers to fill out waiver forms (sometimes while they’re standing on the dock ready to depart!).
  • Sending reminders, checklists, and instructions before every trip.
  • Hoping to collect feedback and reviews from past guests.


It’s no wonder many operators feel like they need an extra set of hands.

What if You Could Automate All of That?

RezExpert’s booking software has been helping houseboat businesses for over 30 years. It saves time, boosts revenue, and takes the pressure off by automating the tedious—but critical—admin tasks that keep your business running.


Here’s how:


  • 24/7 Online Bookings – Guests can see live availability, browse boat details, and book instantly—without needing to call or email.
  • Secure Online Payments – Deposits and balances are collected automatically, cutting out the chasing and boosting cash flow.
  • Digital Waivers & Hire Agreements – Built right into the booking process, so no more last-minute paperwork on the dock.
  • Automated Emails & Checklists – Confirmation emails, pre-arrival reminders, and packing guides are sent automatically.
  • Post-Stay Follow-Ups – Guests receive thank-you messages and review requests, helping you build social proof and repeat business.

Your Hardest-Working Crew Member

Every skipper knows the right crew makes all the difference. With RezExpert, you’ve got a crew member who never clocks off, never forgets, and never calls in sick—yet costs less than hiring a casual.

Running an accommodation or tour business has never been simple - but for many operators, it now feels like the day is filled with constant admin. Bookings come in from different places. Payments are handled one way, then recorded another. Availability needs checking. Emails and phone calls fill the gaps. Individually, none of these tasks are hard. But together, they create task overload — and that’s what quietly wears people down.
