Boat rentals & charters
St. Joseph Boat Rentals
A Lake Michigan rental fleet traded phone tag for self-serve booking: pick a time and a boat, pay, sign the waiver online — plus a page for every inland lake they deliver to.

What they needed
- Stop booking boats over the phone.
- Have the waiver, the ID and a damage hold in place before anyone leaves the dock.
- Sell multi-day drop-off rentals across dozens of inland lakes, not just the harbor.
- Show up when someone searches for a boat on their own lake.
What we built
Booking in six steps
Date, time, boat, contact, details, checkout. A slot is held while you pay, and two people can never book the same boat at once.
A page for every lake
One template builds a page per inland lake — its delivery fee, the boats that can go there, local notes, questions and nearby lakes.
Rentals, cruises and charters
Hourly pontoons with a walkthrough at the dock, multi-day drop-off delivery, captained cruises and fishing charters, each with its own page.
