Watersports Rentals Booking Software

Drag and Drop Calendar

Easily manage your jet ski and watersport bookings with a calendar designed for real operators.

Move a session or assign an available jet ski from the calendar. BookingCentral updates the schedule and notifies customers, helping staff keep launch times and unit availability in sync during busy days.

Digital Waivers Built Into Every Booking

Send liability waivers and rental agreements with the booking, and let each rider sign electronically from their own device before arrival. Collect required details and uploads, see completion status on each booking, and keep signed documents connected to the right customer and order. Eliminate paperwork at the dock.
