Boat & Pontoon Rentals
Boat & pontoon rental software built for the dock.
Rent pontoons, fishing boats and ski boats by the hour, the half-day or the week. Renta takes the booking and the deposit, gets every waiver signed and tracks engine hours, all in one workspace.
Commission plan: renters pay a 2.5% Renta fee, you keep the full booking total · Flat plan: $300/month, 0% fee
Why Renta
Made for the way you actually rent
Deposit holds placed for you
Renta places a card hold before pickup (24 hours ahead by default), renews it on week-long rentals, and lets you capture all or part of it for a dinged prop or a boat that comes back empty. No cash in a drawer.
Half-day slots and fixed departures
Offer AM and PM half-day slots, hourly rates with a minimum, or fixed-time packages like a two-hour sunset cruise. Buffer time between bookings leaves room to refuel and clean.
Pontoon weekends priced like weekends
Add a weekend surcharge, holiday-week pricing and multi-day discounts as rules. The price engine applies them at checkout, so a July Saturday and a September Tuesday never cost the same by accident.
Captain, fuel and tubes at checkout
Sell captain service, a fuel package, tubes, wakeboards or a cooler as add-ons, priced flat or per day and linked to the boats they belong with.

How a boat rental runs in Renta
Booked online
The renter picks a boat, a slot and any add-ons on your storefront, and pays in full or the deposit amount you set. The balance is collected later automatically.
Signed before the dock
Every rider gets a waiver link or scans a QR code to sign on their own phone. Minors go to a parent or guardian to co-sign, and you can require a photo of the driver's license.
Checked out at the dock
Staff run your pickup checklist, record the engine-hour meter and take condition photos, which become that boat's baseline for the next rental.
Checked back in
Log the return hours, add fuel or cleaning charges, open a work order that takes the boat out of service if needed, then capture or release the deposit.
Everything in one workspace
Bookings through payouts, all in one place
Engine-hour maintenance
Schedule oil changes, impeller and lower-unit service by engine hours or by date. Due and overdue service shows on the pickup checklist, so staff see it before the boat leaves the dock.
Several marinas, one account
Assign each boat to a marina or launch site. Availability is counted per location, and moving a boat between sites is logged as a transfer.
ID checks on big bookings
Turn on Stripe Identity verification for bookings over an amount you choose, so the renter on a high-value pontoon weekend is verified before they pay.
Real-time availability
Every boat has live availability across your storefront and admin. Overlapping bookings are refused at checkout, and buffer time between rentals is respected.
Stripe payouts
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay go straight into your own Stripe account. You keep the customer relationship, and money lands in your bank, not ours.
Branded storefront
A fast, mobile-first booking site for your boats and pontoons on your own domain, with an embeddable widget for the website you already have.

FAQ
Questions? We’ve got answers.
Yes. Pontoons, fishing boats, ski and wake boats and other powerboats each get their own listing with hourly, half-day, full-day or weekly rates, a deposit amount and a waiver. A day-of-week pricing rule handles pontoons that cost more on weekends.
Renta places a card authorization hold through your own Stripe account before pickup: 24 hours ahead by default, or a set number of days ahead. After the return you capture all or part of it, or release it. Holds on long rentals are renewed automatically before the card authorization lapses, and cash deposits can be recorded too.
Yes. Staff enter the hour meter at pickup and return, and maintenance schedules can run on engine hours, miles, number of rentals or calendar days. Due and overdue service shows on the pickup checklist.
Yes. Add-ons like captain service, fuel, tubes, wakeboards or coolers appear at checkout, priced flat or per day, and are tracked on every booking and payout.
Yes. Set the waiver per rider and each person signs on their own phone, from an emailed link or by scanning a QR code at the dock. Minors are sent to a parent or guardian to co-sign.
