Your Charter Business Is Hard to Find Online
Your charter business runs on word of mouth. That's great — until someone Googles “fishing charter Whitsundays” and your name doesn't come up.
Meanwhile, booking platforms take 15–30% of every trip you run. That's thousands of dollars a year walking out the door — for what? A listing on a generic travel site that treats your charter like a hotel room. There's a better way. One built for Australian operators, by someone who actually gets the industry.
Zero Commissions — Keep Every Dollar
We don't take a cut of your bookings. Ever. The money your customers pay you is yours. Simple as that.
Built for Australian Charter Operators
This isn't a generic travel site that lumps you in with hotels and tour buses. We built MatesBoat specifically for the commercial charter industry in Australia — fishing, sailing, luxury, eco tours. We speak your language.
Real Reviews, Real Trust
Verified customer reviews build the kind of credibility that bookings are made of. Customers trust other customers. Give them a reason to choose you.

What Operators Are Saying
“Having a dedicated platform for Australian charter operators — not just another travel site — makes all the difference. It's built for what we actually do.”
“Zero commissions means exactly that. Every dollar from every booking stays in my pocket. That's thousands back in the business each year.”
“If you're running charters and you're not on MatesBoat, you're leaving bookings on the table. It's free to start — there's no reason not to.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it really free?▾
Yes. Creating a listing costs nothing. There are no listing fees and no commissions on your bookings. We make money through optional upgrades like PPC advertising and Pro plans — never from taking a slice of your hard-earned bookings.
How do I claim my listing?▾
Search the MatesBoat directory for your business. If it's already there, click "Claim Listing" and follow the verification steps. Once verified, the listing is yours to manage — add photos, update details, and start collecting reviews.
What if my business isn't in the directory yet?▾
No worries. You can create a brand new listing in under 5 minutes. Add your business name, charter type, location, a few photos, and a description of what you offer. That's it — you're live.
How do reviews work?▾
Customers who've been on your charter can leave a review directly on your MatesBoat listing. We verify every review for authenticity. You can respond publicly to reviews and build trust with potential customers over time.
Can I upgrade later?▾
Absolutely. Start with a free listing and upgrade whenever you're ready. Our PPC plan gives you more visibility and features like direct messaging with customers. The Pro plan unlocks unlimited listings, priority placement, and every feature we offer.
What makes MatesBoat different from GetMyBoat, TripAdvisor, or other platforms?▾
Three things. First, we're built exclusively for Australian charter operators — not hotels, not restaurants, not generic tours. Second, we don't take a commission on your bookings. Third, our review system is purpose-built for the charter industry, so the feedback you get is relevant and credible. We're not a booking platform tacked onto a travel site — we're a dedicated charter directory run by people who actually understand boating.
