Book guided fishing trips
while you're out on the water
Your guests plan their trip months ahead — often from another time zone. Crux lets them pick dates, a package and extras, and pay a deposit on your website, without a single back-and-forth email.

Trips booked by email and phone tag
Dates, party size, package, deposit — every booking takes a string of messages, and serious anglers book whoever answers first.
Chasing deposits and balances
Invoices, Venmo requests and reminder emails for every party, months before they arrive.
Paying a marketplace to reach your own guests
Booking sites take a cut of every trip and keep the guest relationship for themselves.
How Crux works for fishing lodges
Everything from the first click to the deposit, on your own website.
Packages built like your trips
Bundle lodging, meals and guided days into one package — with room choices and per-night pricing.
Add-ons per angler or per day
Extra guided days, fish processing and shipping, gear, airport transfers — priced per person, per day or flat.
Deposits at booking
Set your deposit percentage. Guests pay it by card when they book and can pay the balance online from their reservation link.
Your season, your rules
Seasonal and weekend rates, minimum stays, and blackout dates for closed weeks or private groups.
Books on your own website
One line of code adds a booking button to your site. Guests never leave it, and payouts go straight to your Stripe account.
Confirmations sent for you
Guests get a booking confirmation and payment receipts automatically; you get an alert for every new booking.
See it from your guests' side
Open our demo property's website, click Book Now, and walk through the same booking flow your guests would use — dates, packages, extras and deposit. It's a sample surf camp; the flow works the same way for fishing lodges.
