Boat rental and nautical services

Payments built for boat rental and nautical services

Pre-authorized deposit at booking, balance collected at pickup and automatic charge for hull or engine damage on return: a system designed around how a boat rental business actually works.

Why it works

Why RoxPay works for boat rental and nautical services

The way a boat rental business manages deposits, seasonality and damages follows precise logic: here is why RoxPay's approach fits well.

The deposit needs a fund hold, not a charge

The deposit on a boat should be pre-authorized on the card and released on return, without actually holding the funds unless necessary.

Damage is often discovered after the boat is returned

A damaged hull or engine is detected during the post-rental check: the extra charge needs to be possible remotely too.

Summer bookings come in well in advance

Seasonal bookings require a binding deposit months before departure, to secure the boat without risking last-minute cancellations.

How it works

How RoxPay helps your boat rental business

RoxPay lets you pre-authorize the deposit, collect the balance at pickup and charge for damages even after the boat is returned, with everything tracked automatically.

Deposit pre-authorization

Hold the security deposit on the card at booking without charging it, releasing it automatically on return.

Remote damage charges (MOTO)

Charge for damage discovered after return, using card details already recorded at pickup.

Deposit on seasonal bookings

Secure the boat well in advance with a binding online deposit.

Smart POS on the dock

Android terminal with NFC to collect balances and extras right at the pier.

Use case

How much you can recover in uncontested damages

Damage to the hull or engine discovered after the boat is returned, if not handled immediately, risks never being recovered. With a remote charge on card details already recorded at pickup, the rental business collects the extra even days later.

On seasonal bookings, a binding deposit months before departure reduces last-minute cancellations during peak season, while pre-authorizing the deposit avoids holding funds that will be released on return with no damage.
