About this plugin
Charter Booker gives charter businesses a complete booking workflow inside WordPress, from trip setup to customer confirmation.
Create trip types, assign captains and boats, control capacity, and publish bookable trips on your website with simple shortcodes. Customers can browse availability and submit booking requests in a clean frontend flow, while your team manages schedules, statuses, and notifications from wp-admin.
