FishingBooker


FishingBooker is the largest online marketplace for booking yacht charters for recreational fishing. The site has been described as “Airbnb for fishing charters”.
FishingBooker has listed boats in over 100 countries and almost 2,000 cities.
The company publishes an annual list of the best places in the United States for fishing.
It allows for comparison of charters which do not have any shared practices or independent ability to book online.
It has been described as an online travel agency for fishing charters, and as “the world’s largest online community” and marketplace for connecting fishers and charters around the world.
FishingBooker is similar to other services that broker boat rentals, but the site is specialized for finding, comparing and booking fishing charters, including fishing gear and the services of a captain, as well as the boat itself.

Awards and criticism
