Risk-free deposits, damage recovered even remotely
A pre-authorized deposit at booking, the balance charged at pickup and an automatic charge for hull or engine damage on return flow into one system: built for how a boat rental business actually runs.
What changes for boat rental and nautical businesses with Daevon
Managing deposits, seasonality and damage at a boat rental business follows its own logic: that's exactly where Daevon steps in.
A deposit needs a hold, not a charge
The deposit on a boat needs to be pre-authorized on the card and released on return, without holding funds that aren't needed.
Damage is often found after the boat is returned
A damaged hull or engine surfaces at the post-rental check: the extra charge needs to work remotely too.
Summer bookings come in well ahead of time
Seasonal bookings need a binding deposit months before departure, to lock in the boat without risking last-minute cancellations.
Deposits, balances and damage in one system
Pre-authorizing the deposit, charging the balance at pickup and billing damage even after the boat has been returned: every transaction at your boat rental business gets tracked automatically.
Deposit pre-authorization
Hold the deposit on the card at booking without charging it, releasing it automatically on return.
Remote damage charges (MOTO)
Charge damage found after the return, using the card details already on file at pickup.
Deposit on seasonal bookings
Lock in the boat well ahead of time through a binding online deposit.
Smart POS at the dock
An Android terminal with NFC to collect balances and extras right at the marina.
How much you can recover in undisputed damage
Hull or engine damage found after the boat is returned, if not handled right away, risks never being recovered. With a remote charge on the card details already on file at pickup, the rental business collects the extra even days later.
On seasonal bookings, a binding deposit months before departure cuts last-minute cancellations during peak season; pre-authorizing the deposit avoids holding funds that will be released on a damage-free return.
