Dozens of online booking system brands market their solution as jet ski rental software. And they all promise the same few things: online booking widgets, a calendar, resource management, and digital waivers. That makes it hard to tell which one will hold up on a packed Saturday in July.
Here’s what actually separates one platform from another for a PWC operation:
- Per-unit resource tracking. Can you add each ski, life vest, and trailer as its own resource, link them to listings, and have the system automatically close slots once the last one is booked?
- Hourly, half-day, full-day, and multi-day availability rules with turnaround buffers. This gives you more flexibility and time between each rental for refuelling, rinsing, and the safety briefing.
- Deposits and damage holds. Collecting payment or a card hold up front reduces no-shows and protects your fleet.
- Digital waivers tied to the booking. Signed before arrival, attached to the reservation, visible to staff at check-in.
- Dock-ready mobile check-in. Ticket scanning and manifests on a phone, ideally usable when signal is thin.
- The real cost. Consider subscription costs and booking fees. On a $150 rental, the gap between 1.5% and 8% booking fees can make or break your margins.
- Distribution. Jet ski rentals are often tourist purchases planned in advance. Can you sell through Viator, GetYourGuide, and Google Things to do, and partner with other businesses near your dock?
To help with your comparison shopping, we’ve pulled together details on the most popular options in one place — features, pricing, pros, and cons — starting with our own solution, Bókun.

1. Bókun
All-in-one operations management system for jet ski rentals
Bókun is a top-rated booking management platform — 4.7 stars across hundreds of operator reviews — built for tour and activity businesses worldwide. As a Tripadvisor and Viator brand with over a decade in the travel experience industry, we’ve built Bókun from the ground up with operators in mind.
Our system offers a comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit to manage every aspect of your jet ski business. We’ve also packed Bókun with tons of distribution tools to grow your rental volume — OTA connections to 70+ global platforms, a built-in marketplace of thousands of travel industry partners, and affiliate tracking tools that let you build your own referral network.
The result is a system that doesn’t just manage your jet ski business; it actively fills your calendar. And it’s available at one of the lowest price points in the industry, with low booking fees.
We work with watersports operators of all kinds across 80+ countries — from single-dock jet ski businesses to multi-location PWC fleets running guided tours alongside mixed fleets of kayaks, paddleboards, and pontoons — and our system scales as your operation grows.
In the sections below, we’ll walk through how Bókun works and what it can do for your jet ski rental business. You can also start a 14-day free trial (no credit card required) to explore our system yourself.
Bókun’s resource management module
Bókun’s resource management module lets you keep an accurate record of all your inventory: each PWC in the fleet, the gear that goes out with it, and exactly how much of it is available at any given time.
Here’s how to add your fleet and gear.
You’ll set up each jet ski type as its own resource — model name, SKU or serial number, and quantity. If you run a mix of two-seater Sea-Doo Sparks and larger three-seater GTX models, those go in as separate entries. The distinction matters because they link to different listings, carry different pricing, and draw from separate inventory pools.
From there, add the equipment that goes out with every rental. For a PWC operation, that typically means:
- Life jackets and PFDs. Add each size tier (adult, youth, children’s) as separate resources, with quantities that match what you actually have at the dock. Bókun tracks these alongside the ski, so you’re never booking more riders than you have correctly sized vests to cover.
- Wetsuits. If you offer or require them, add by size. Useful in cooler climates or shoulder-season operations where water temperature is a factor.
- Safety equipment kits. If each rental includes a whistle, throwable device, or similar, add the quantity as a resource.
- Tow ropes and bumpers — where relevant, particularly if you offer towable add-on experiences.
Once everything is in the system, you’ll link each resource type to the listings that use it and set your allocation rules. More on that in a moment.

Experiences module to create rental listings & assign resources
Bókun’s Experiences tab is where you build your full rental catalogue.
Our product builder walks you through each step and lets you save templates, so adding a new ski type or a guided tour variant only takes minutes. You can also import listings directly from your existing website or from Viator, using Bókun’s AI product importer, so if you’re already live elsewhere, you’re not starting from scratch.
Creating listings
When setting up a listing, you’ll include the essentials: rental name, photos and video of the fleet and local waterways, your launch location, pick-up and drop-off points, what customers should bring, and any age, weight, or licence requirements.
Your catalogue can include rentals of varying durations, guided PWC tours, and combo products that pair a jet ski with a kayak, paddleboard, or any other activity you or a partner operates.
You can also offer add-ons — fuel packages, photo packages, guided tour upgrades, extra safety gear, merchandise — that make it easy for customers to personalise their experience.
Availability rules
Availability rules define exactly how and when customers can book. For jet ski rentals, you’ll typically run hourly, half-day, and full-day rentals as separate listings, each with its own pricing and time windows.
You set the days and hours each listing is available, then build in turnaround time between slots. For a PWC operation, those buffers do real work: they give you a window to bring the unit back in, run a fuel check and quick rinse, and get the next group through their safety briefing before they hit the water. Set the buffer time once per listing, and the system applies it to every slot automatically.
You can also set booking cutoffs to require advance notice — useful if you need customers to book by the day before so you can staff and fuel accordingly.
Pricing
Bókun’s pricing tools cover the range of pricing models jet ski operators use.
You can set flat rates per listing, create pricing categories for different jet ski types or group sizes, offer group discounts, and use dynamic pricing rules to adjust rates automatically — raising prices on peak summer weekends and holidays, and dropping them as a cutoff approaches to move remaining inventory on a slow midweek day.
You can also specify when customers pay. Require full payment upfront, collect a minimum deposit with the balance taken on arrival, or allow pay-on-arrival for last-minute bookers. For a $150–$200 rental with a high-value asset on the line, collecting a security deposit or full payment at booking gives customers a real reason to show up for their slot and keeps last-minute drop-offs in check.
Assigning resources to listings
With your fleet and gear in the system, you’ll link each resource type to the listing that uses it — your two-seater listing draws from two-seater inventory, while your three-seater listing draws from the larger units. You specify how many life jackets are required per booking based on rider count, and Bókun automatically tracks total demand across every concurrent reservation.
From there, Bókun handles allocation. When a booking comes in for two half-day slots on two-seater skis, the system reserves those units and the gear for that window. When the last available ski for a given time slot is booked, that listing closes across every connected channel simultaneously — your website, Viator, GetYourGuide, and any partner pages — without you touching anything.
Bókun’s central calendar
Every reservation — website booking, OTA booking, reseller booking, phone-in, or walk-up at the dock — feeds into Bókun’s central calendar in real time. And you can add offline bookings (like walk-ups or phone bookings) here for free, so you never have to check a separate system to see what’s on the docket.
Availability syncs in both directions the moment a slot is booked, so a sold-out window closes across all your connected sales channels at once. You never have to worry about double bookings.
From the calendar, you can adjust availability, reassign staff, and modify bookings on the fly.
Say bad weather rolls in and you need to push a group to the afternoon, or a unit needs unplanned servicing and you have to pull it from the day’s schedule, or a dockhand calls in sick and you need to shuffle the day’s staff — you can manage all of this right in the calendar.
Bókun’s customer management tools
CRM with automated customer communications
Bókun’s native CRM builds customer records automatically from the moment someone begins the booking process. If a customer starts a reservation and drops off before completing it, you can send an abandoned cart follow-up and pull them into retargeting campaigns.
We pair our CRM with a handy automated communications tool. Every completed booking triggers a series of emails:
- Confirmation emails with mobile tickets (and waivers if you add our digital waivers module).
- Pre-arrival reminders with parking instructions, what to wear, and what to expect at the dock.
- Post-rental follow-ups for reviews and repeat bookings.
All of these are fully customisable, so you can adjust the messaging and when each email is sent.
Beyond these standard booking emails, you can schedule marketing campaigns directly through Bókun. We provide ready-to-use templates for review requests, upsells, and abandoned cart follow-ups. You can also build your own templates for things like seasonal promotions, fleet announcements, and off-season offers. This keeps all your email marketing campaigns running in one system instead of patching together separate tools.
Self-service portals for customers
Customers can also manage their bookings through a self-service portal, where they can reschedule, cancel, or purchase add-ons without calling you.
For a jet ski business, these portals are particularly useful around weather-related changes. Instead of fielding a rush of rescheduling calls when the weather turns, you can push an email out to all your customers notifying them to reschedule (or opt for a refund), and they can handle that themselves through the portal.
Check-in tools
Bókun’s mobile apps for iOS and Android give your dock staff the day’s manifest, ticket scanning, and check-in right on a phone, from wherever they’re standing at the launch point.
Multiple staff can run check-ins simultaneously across different locations, so back-to-back rental slots stay on schedule, even on a packed day.
Bókun’s tools to sell rentals online & win bookings from new audiences
Website builders & booking engine widgets
Bókun gives you everything you need to turn your website into a 24/7 online booking engine and drive direct reservations.
If you don’t have a site yet, the one-click website builder lets you design a branded, mobile-ready site from a gallery of templates — fill in brand elements, add photos of the fleet and dock, and push it live without any developer involvement. Booking widgets come pre-installed, and sites are optimised for desktop and mobile out of the box.
Read more: How to create a booking website
If you already have a site, you can drop our booking engine widgets into existing pages without rebuilding anything. Widget styles include «Book Now» buttons, calendar views, product overviews, and product lists — so customers can start a reservation wherever they land. They work across virtually any platform: WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Weebly, Joomla, and more.
Read more: How to add a booking system to your website
The booking flow is clean and straightforward for customers, and Bókun integrates with dozens of payment processors — Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Klarna, Worldpay, and more — so customers can easily check out using their preferred payment method.
Connections with OTAs & online marketplaces
This is where Bókun separates itself from most platforms in this comparison. Jet skis are primarily a tourist purchase: the customers booking a PWC for the afternoon aren’t searching for you by name — they’re on Viator, GetYourGuide, or Google, planning a trip. If your listings aren’t there, those bookings go to an operator who is.
Bókun connects with 70+ global OTAs from one dashboard —with no cap on connections —and we’re the #1 restech partner across major sites. We even hold premium partnerships with the biggest names:
- Our Viator Preferred Partnership allows us to waive Bókun booking fees on all Viator reservations and offer free subscription checks (12, 24, or 48 per year, depending on your plan).
- OurGetYourGuide Premium Connectivity Partnershiplets you easily promote your jet ski rentals on GYG’s site and guarantees best-in-class API performance so bookings sync over to Bókun fast and reliably.
- Our Google Things to do official partnership lets ourcustomers join Google’s programme in a few clicks — no lengthy application process — and get their jet ski rentals on Google Search and Maps.
Every booking from any of these channels feeds directly into your central calendar, so you’re never managing availability across a dozen separate platforms.

- How to become a TourRadar supplier
- How to sell tours on Expedia

- How to become a Klook supplier
- How to become a Headout supplier
Bókun Marketplace
The Bókun Marketplace also provides a ton of opportunity to reach and win bookings from new audiences. This network features thousands of travel industry businesses to partner with — tour guides, travel agents, DMCs, accommodation providers like hotels and resorts, transportation services, attractions, educational institutions, and more.
You can search by supplier or product type here to narrow in on the best partners to complement your watersports rentals.
There are a few ways to use this network:
- Connect with resellers who can resell your rentals to their audiences.
- Earn commission by reselling other suppliers’ services or experiences to your own customers.
- Create packages with complementary operators, like a paddleboard company, a snorkelling tour, or a sunset charter.
You can work with as many partners as you like, with all contracts and commissions managed directly in Bókun.
See how other operators use the Bókun network to fill their calendars in our case studies below:
- Simba Sea Trips sees consistent 20% year-on-year revenue growth after joining Bókun
- Venice Tours achieved a 400% revenue increase through the Bókun Marketplace
- International Friends generates $500K in sales via Bókun Marketplace
- Mega Zipline Iceland leverages 100+ reseller contracts to scale business to new heights
- Tour Marbella pulls 54% of its bookings through Bókun Marketplace connections
Bókun Referral Tracking
Referral Tracking lets you build an affiliate network outside the Marketplace, with any business or professional you want to work with — local hotels, beach clubs, marina operators, dive shops, surf schools, vacation rental hosts, watersports influencers, you name it.
You can add as many affiliates as you wish to this network and negotiate commission rates with each individually. Each affiliate gets a trackable booking link or dedicated booking hub so you can see exactly who sent you each booking. Our reporting tools let you measure bookings by affiliate so you can see which relationships are most successful and recruit more affiliates cut from the same cloth.
Bókun reporting dashboard
Bókun’s reporting dashboards give you a clear view of what’s driving revenue and what isn’t.
You can see bookings and revenue broken down by channel, product, and time period —so you know which OTAs generate the most bookings, which ski types and add-ons are consistently selling, and when your slow patches tend to hit.
That data shapes the decisions that move the needle: expanding the fleet ahead of a season where you hit capacity, repricing or dropping a unit type that isn’t moving, running targeted promotions on midweek slots rather than waiting for walk-ups, and identifying which distribution channels are most successful so you can open up more inventory and availability on those sites.
Bókun App Store
We also offer the Bókun App Store where you can bolt on additional modules to support the core toolkit.
The most popular add-on for PWC operators is the digital waivers solution we mentioned earlier. This module automatically sends waivers with every booking confirmation, lets customers sign before they arrive at the dock, and attaches the signed waiver to the reservation — so staff can see at a glance who’s covered before anyone hits the water.
The App Store also includes tip management for dock crews, SMS messaging for last-minute weather updates, and departure management tools for busier launch windows.
Bókun’s packages & how to get started
All new customers can start with a 14-day free trial— no credit card required — to explore the full platform before committing to a plan.
After your trial, the START plan gives you access to all the core features covered above for $49/month, with 1.5% online booking fees. We offer 0% Bókun booking fees on Viator reservations, and offline and walk-up bookings are always free.
For larger operations with more advanced needs, the PLUS and PREMIUM enterprise plans include agent portals, subvendor management, resource allocations, and Zapier. Enterprise plans also come with dedicated onboarding, priority support, and a yearly strategy call with Bókun’s team.

2. Checkfront
Checkfront is another comprehensive booking platform that covers the full scope of what a jet ski rental operation needs day to day: a central booking calendar, real-time availability, resource management, OTA connections, digital waivers, automated communications, and mobile check-in tools.
Three things that stand out for watersports businesses:
- Gear and unit sharing works across listings automatically, so the same ski can’t get double-booked through different rental products.
- Dynamic pricing with seasonal and day-of-week adjustments lets you maximise revenue across your busiest periods.
- The platform also lets you offer upsells and add-ons at checkout, so customers can build their rental the way they want.
However, it’s worth mentioning that Checkfront recently merged with Rezdy and Regiondo. The platform has changed a bit since, and there’s some uncertainty among users about what’s ahead.
For example, several existing users have already flagged that OTA connections are falling behind other platforms in this space.
And pricing changed after Checkfront joined the Rezdy network. While Checkfront used to be one of the more affordable options in this space, that’s no longer the case. Operators now pay $99/month plus 3% on every online booking. And these fees can add up fast during a busy season — an operator generating $10k in rental revenue in July would pay $399 in platform fees before payment processing charges.

- Website builder
- Online booking engine widgets
- Centralised booking calendar
- Availability management
- Channel management & OTA connections
- Partner network
- Product management

Pricing
Checkfront charges a $99/month subscription fee and 3% booking fees. You can either cover the booking fees or pass them along to customers.

3. Peek Pro
Peek Pro is one of the more recognisable names in the tours and activities space, known for a polished interface and a toolkit that leans heavily into growth. For jet ski rental operators looking to move bookings, there’s a lot here:
- Peek’s booking engine is optimised for conversions, and abandoned-booking follow-ups combined with real-time waitlists help recapture sales that would otherwise walk.
- OTA connections and a reseller network extend distribution beyond your own site.
- Dynamic pricing adjusts rates automatically based on demand — Peek’s AI factors in weather forecasts, event data, and historical patterns, so you’re not manually repricing every peak weekend.
- And Peek Copilot, the platform’s AI assistant, handles marketing campaign creation, automates WhatsApp communications, and can manage staff scheduling through its agent system.
The sticking point is cost. Peek Pro charges booking fees as high as 6% and 8%, and reviewers frequently flag unpredictability in how those fees are actually calculated — they can shift from booking to booking without a clear explanation. On a $200 PWC rental at 8%, you’re handing back $16 per booking. And that can amount to a pretty big chunk of change over a high-volume summer. It’s worth running the numbers against your expected booking volume before you commit.

Features
- Online booking engine
- Customisable booking calendar
- Channel management & OTA connections
- Reseller network
- Resource management
- Availability management
- Marketing tools to recapture lost sales, including abandoned booking follow-ups & waitlists
- Add-ons, bundles, memberships, gift cards, vouchers, and promo codes
- Dynamic pricing with AI-driven demand-based adjustments

- Peek Capital — business financing through Peek’s VC network
- Automated customer notifications
- Digital waivers & fast check-in features
- Native POS & flexible online payment options
- Integrations & API
- Mobile apps
- Reporting
Pricing
Peek Pro no longer discloses pricing on its website, but historically, they’ve charged booking fees as high as 6% and 8%.

4. SolNow
SolNow is the most watersports-specific platform on this list — built for exactly what jet ski and PWC rental operations need. The platform includes duration-based and time-of-day pricing rules, digital contracts with watersports-specific clauses and templates for minors, a real-time fleet monitoring dashboard, multi-base operation with live fleet status across locations, and an offline-first boarding app designed specifically for docks with intermittent connectivity.
The WhatsApp AI agent is particularly well-suited to watersports environments: it handles enquiries, takes bookings, collects payment, and sends contracts around the clock — useful when customers are reaching out from beach bars, hotel lobbies, or marinas outside of your operating hours.
It’s worth pointing out that SolNow focuses primarily on the Mediterranean market — its client base is made up of European operators, and the platform is built around their needs. If you’re running a US or Caribbean operation, we suggest reaching out to their team directly to confirm it’s available in your region before spending too much time on this option.
We should also note that SolNow has no verified third-party reviews yet, so there’s no customer feedback available to assess actual user experiences with the platform.
At the time of writing, SolNow has no verified third-party reviews.
Features
- Booking engine with real-time availability and seasonal, time-of-day & duration-based pricing rules
- AI agent on WhatsApp that answers enquiries, takes bookings, collects payment & sends contracts 24/7
- Front-desk POS for walk-in sales, with payment and a QR ticket delivered to the customer’s phone
- Digital contracts with e-signature, including watersports-specific clauses & templates for minors
- QR check-in and real-time fleet monitoring dashboard
- Multi-base operation with live fleet status & automatic alerts across locations
- Lost booking recovery via automated WhatsApp follow-ups on abandoned checkouts
- Partner portal for hotels & agencies with automatic commission tracking
- OTA integrations with Viator & GetYourGuide with real-time inventory sync
- Offline-first boarding app for docks with intermittent connectivity
- Stripe payments
- Reporting
Pricing
SolNow doesn’t disclose rates online. From what we can see, the monthly charge varies based on your booking volume and AI usage. Booking fees are negotiated upfront by expected volume and channel mix. You must contact SolNow for more specific details.
5. Indexic
Indexic’s booking system — aReservation — is built for outdoor recreation and rental businesses. Some of its standout features for watersports operators include:
- Early return auto monitoring. If a renter brings a ski back ahead of schedule, the system detects it and automatically updates availability — so you can potentially get someone else out on the water sooner.
- Rental image captures. Staff can photograph each unit at checkout and return within the system, creating a timestamped visual record of its condition. Useful if a damage dispute comes up after the rental.
- Geofencing. You can set the system to only accept bookings from within a defined radius around your dock or operating area — handy if you want to limit who can book and avoid rentals from customers who aren’t near your location.
- Renters insurance. Indexic partners with national insurance carriers to offer renters insurance for jet ski and watersports rentals at no cost to you — renters pay for the liability and damage coverage at checkout. For operators dealing with high-value equipment and real liability exposure, that’s a perk worth paying attention to.
It also offers abandoned cart recovery, dynamic pricing, and combo products. Useful features to round out the platform.
The trade-offs:
- You don’t get distribution tools. There aren’t any OTA connections or marketplace tools, so Indexic won’t help you reach new audiences beyond your existing traffic.
- Indexic doesn’t share pricing on its website. You must book a demo to get a quote for aReservation — there aren’t ballpark figures to check before you commit to a conversation with their sales team.
- Indexic is a smaller, more niche player than most platforms on this list. The reviews that exist are consistently strong — customers highlight fast response times and hands-on support during setup — but there aren’t many of them. And as a smaller platform, there’s less third-party help documentation and community knowledge to draw on if you run into issues down the line.

Features
- Online booking engine widgets
- Integrated point of sale (POS)
- Centralised booking calendar
- Resource management
- Early return auto monitoring
- Rental image captures
- Combo products
- Dynamic pricing
- Integrated digital waiver solution
- Partnerships with national insurance carriers to underwrite renters insurance
- Automated communications

- Staff scheduling tools
- Reporting dashboards
Pricing
Indexic offers two solutions: aReservation (the online booking system) and Online Waivers.
- If you’re interested in aReservation, you must book a demo for a custom quote.
- Indexic charges 15¢ per waiver signed and requires $30/year minimum spend.
6. Rides Rental Software
Rides Rental Software is built specifically for the rental market — PWC businesses, marine rentals, and similar operations — rather than the broader tours and activities space. That narrower focus means the features that matter most to jet ski operators are actually there: rental website design, inventory and product management, e-sign for waivers and customer documents, memberships and billing, and unit sales listings if you also buy and sell PWC equipment.
The feature set is more compact than some of the full-service booking platforms on this list. Most notably, Rides Rental Software doesn’t include distribution tools to sell your rentals to new audiences. It only helps manage your operations and existing customers.
The site is also pretty light on the specifics of each feature. And it doesn’t list pricing — you need to register for a virtual tour to explore the platform and get more detail.
If your priority is a system to manage operations, Rides Rental Software can be a good option. But if you want OTA connections and other distribution tools to really help grow your business, this isn’t your best fit.
Read more Rides Rental Software reviews here.
Features
- Custom-designed rental website
- Online booking engine with real-time availability
- Booking calendar & scheduling tools
- Product & inventory management
- Add-ons & upsells
- E-sign & document upload for waivers and customer files
- Customer management (CRM)
- Memberships & automated billing
- Online webstore for merchandise & product sales
- New and used unit sales listings
- SEO tools
- Reporting
Pricing
Rides Rental Software does not disclose pricing online. You must register for a virtual tour to get more information.
7. Reservety
Reservety positions itself as a booking platform built for rental and charter businesses, and its feature set reflects this. The toolkit includes crew scheduling for captains and instructors, trip bundling for guided experiences, smart lock integration for self-service equipment access, and weather cancellation policies. Then the Professional plan adds membership management, affiliate tools, lead gen support, and abandoned cart recovery for operators ready to invest in growth beyond basic direct bookings.
The system also offers deposit collection and automated invoicing to handle the financial side of the admin. And the integration list — Stripe, Square, PayPal, QuickBooks, Zapier — is solid.
Most of all, Reservety offers all of this at a pretty good price point.
However, Reservety doesn’t have the same depth of user reviews as more established platforms on this list, which makes it harder to tell how it really compares to other options.
Find more Reservety reviews here.
Features
- Online booking widget with professional rental website (built & hosted by Reservety)
- Real-time availability calendar
- Resource & equipment management
- Trip bundling for guided fishing charters, sailing lessons & sunset cruises
- Marketing automation, including abandoned booking emails
- Digital waivers & contracts
- Deposit collection & automated invoicing
- Self-service cancellation & rescheduling, including weather cancellation policies
- Native POS
- Smart lock integration for self-service equipment access
- Crew scheduling for captains & instructors
- Integrations with Stripe, Square, PayPal, QuickBooks, Zapier & more
- Reporting dashboard
Pricing
Reservety offers two plans:
- The Starter plan ($59/month) includes a booking site, product management, flexible package and pricing tools, online payment integrations, digital waivers, automated reminders, SMS & email notifications, quotes and manual phone orders, and invoicing.
- The Professional plan ($99/month) includes everything in Starter plus email newsletters, abandoned cart recovery, lead gen support, affiliate tools, rewards & membership management, supplier management, expense tracking, tip management, digital inspections before/after trips, Zapier, and more.
8. RentMy
RentMy is a solid equipment rental platform with a strong emphasis on inventory control and asset lifecycle management. Barcode asset tracking, maintenance scheduling, and per-asset lifecycle reporting give operators detailed visibility into the physical state of their fleet — not just booking availability, but which unit is due for service, what its rental history looks like, and what return it’s generated over time.
The delivery management tools — zone-based pricing and route optimisation — are worth noting if you offer jet ski delivery to marinas or private launch points.
Like a few other platforms on this list, RentMy has no distribution tools; it doesn’t include OTA connections, a reseller network, or affiliate tools. It’s built to manage rentals from your website.
The pricing is also worth a close look: the Nano plan’s 9.9% + 30¢ booking fee is among the highest charged by competitors. The only way to avoid those fees is to step up to the Growth plan at $199/month, which is expensive compared to other platforms on this list.
Read more RentMy reviews here.
Features
- Rental booking website & eCommerce storefront with SEO-ready pages
- Real-time online booking engine
- Booking calendar
- Product & inventory management with barcode asset tracking
- Resource management with maintenance scheduling & asset lifecycle reporting
- Product packages & bundles
- Hour-precise availability windows for time-slotted rentals

- Native POS
- Multi-currency & multi-location support
- AI product image generation & SEO listing tools

Pricing
RentMy offers three plans:
- The Nano plan ($0/month subscription fee) supports 20 products and three users, includes a booking website and online payments, and comes with email support. Booking fees here are 9.9% + 30¢, and they charge a $20/month delivery fee. You also pay a $249 set-up and training fee here.
- The Growth plan ($199/month subscription fee) supports 500 products and unlimited users, and it builds on the Nano plan with packages, digital waivers, automated communications, POS, and asset tracking. This plan includes email, chat, and phone support. RentMy also waives booking and delivery fees here, though they still charge that $249 set-up and training fee.
- The Enterprise plan (custom quotes) expands on the Growth plan with membership management, customer portals, and API access. You also get one-on-one support meetings with their team here.
9. Vev
Vev is a lean, affordable booking tool built around simplicity. The setup is fast, the interface is clean, and getting online bookings running doesn’t require a heavy implementation process — it’s designed to be accessible to small operators who want a booking page and online payments without a complicated system behind them.
For a jet ski rental operation, though, it’s worth being upfront about the limitations. Vev’s natural home is appointments and recurring classes — salons, fitness studios, and similar businesses. It doesn’t come with resource management to track physical assets like PWC units, life vests, and gear at the inventory level — a critical feature for PWC operators. And it doesn’t include any kind of distribution tools like OTA connections or channel management.
Ultimately, what you’re getting with Vev is a clean booking page — not a watersports operations platform.
Features
- Bookable online page with shareable booking link
- Online booking engine with embeddable widget
- Booking calendar
- Availability rules including buffer time between bookings & booking cutoffs
- Class scheduling tools
- Customer management (CRM) with booking history & notes
- Automated email confirmations & reminders

Vev offers three plans:
- The starter Vev plan ($9.99/month) supports events, classes, and appointments and includes essentials such as booking pages, online payment support, CRM, and analytics.
- The Pro plan ($19.99/month) builds on the Vev plan with SMS reminders, newsletters, custom policies, discount codes, and waiting lists. Vev notes this is the most popular plan.
- The Ultra plan ($39.99/month) supports five team members and removes all Vev branding from your booking pages and automated communications.
10. Anolla
The last option on our list, Anolla, is one you’re likely to come across in your research, so it’s worth addressing directly.
The feature list looks appealing on the surface — dynamic pricing, a modular pricing model that lets you start free, resource management, an AI assistant — and they market specifically to watersports rental operators.
The issue is credibility. Anolla’s marketing pages are packed with precise-sounding stats: a 4.7/5 value rating, a perfect 5.0 for functionality, «79.3% of inquiries resolved by AI» — all attributed to Capterra. But there are no Anolla reviews on Capterra. And when you notice the exact same figures appearing word-for-word on their gym software page, their dog boarding page, and their auto detailing page, it becomes clear these aren’t real measurements.
The only independent reviews we can find are two on Trustpilot. Neither is positive.
We’re not saying to overlook Anolla entirely — but if you’re interested in this solution, you should have a conversation with their team to verify the claims on their site before taking them at face value.
