What this service covers
My Boat Buddy is not only for repairs. When an owner wants to rent out the boat, host a private charter, plan a harbor cruise, or line up a licensed captain for a trip, the request needs a different dispatch path than a wrench-only service call.
Captain and charter support routes trip details, vessel readiness, passenger count, departure window, destination notes, and marina access into the same operational queue used for repair dispatch. Admin can review the request, match it with approved captain-capable providers, and escalate any safety, insurance, licensing, weather, fuel, or maintenance concerns before the trip is confirmed.
This lane is built for owners who need help turning a boat into a reliable charter-ready asset: pre-trip checks, captain coordination, guest handoff details, fuel planning, dock access, post-trip notes, and maintenance follow-up after the outing.
