What FareHarbor does well
Credit where it's due: FareHarbor is a mature booking engine, with good distribution, an affiliate network and integrated payments. If you sell a lot of third-party tours and live off that distribution, it's a powerful tool.
- Robust, proven booking engine.
- Distribution and affiliate network.
- Integrated payments.
- Established support.

Where it falls short for jet skis
The problem isn't FareHarbor, it's the fit: it covers the online booking but not the operation of a watercraft fleet.
- The walk-in (customer with no booking) is still handled by hand.
- It doesn't digitize the operation during the activity: boarding, QR, delays.
- It's not a nautical vertical: logbook and sector contracts for minors.
- Limited multi-base for distributed fleets.
- Its cost model doesn't always fit high volume.

How to migrate from FareHarbor
Migration is included: we bring customers, historical bookings and configuration from FareHarbor or Excel, with no downtime.
If your edge is operating jet skis on the water, not a tour catalogue, a vertical alternative digitizes what FareHarbor leaves out.
