BOBR connects anglers with the best local guides. Book a trip, manage a charter, or run your whole operation — all in one place.
Every feature exists to fill trips, reduce friction, and keep money where it belongs.
Browse local guides, compare trips, and book with confidence — all in one place. Always free, no booking fees, no hidden charges.
Manage vessels, listings, availability, and bookings without juggling spreadsheets, texts, and social media DMs.
No more fragmented tools. BOBR centralizes your listings, communication, scheduling, and payments so you can focus on the water.
Anglers browse an interactive map to find available guides in their area — filtered by trip type, price, and party size.
List both charter trips and standalone boat rentals under the same account. Separate pricing tiers, inventory, and availability for each.
Every booking has its own dedicated message thread. Guides and anglers communicate in context — no lost DMs or missed texts.
BOBR covers the full trip lifecycle — anglers find you, book you, pay you, and message you, all without leaving the platform.
At-a-glance booking counts, revenue totals, and upcoming trips. Everything a guide needs to run the day.
Guides set and block dates per listing. Anglers see real availability — not a generic contact form.
Secure deposit collection at booking. Confirmation emails sent automatically. Refunds handled by the platform.
Kayaks, motorboats, canoes — manage rental inventory, duration options, and pricing tiers alongside guided trips.
Guides review requests and accept or decline them. Anglers track status from request to confirmation.
Row-level security on every database table. XSS protection, hardened headers, and input validation throughout.
A declining commission model that rewards active guides. By your 151st booking, BOBR is free for the rest of the year.
Clear rules that protect both anglers and guides — with no grey area.
Cancel within 72 hours of your trip and receive a full refund of your deposit. No questions asked.
50% of the deposit is refunded to the angler. The remaining 50% goes to the guide for holding the date.
BOBR takes no portion of cancellations.
Experience the app yourself with our interactive prototype. Switch between angler and guide views to see the full platform.
Join the private beta. No setup fees, no monthly costs — just a declining commission that disappears as you grow.
