Last Minute Charter Boat Bookings Available to Snag by Online Bidding

Pilot program to be launched to auction last minute spare boat rental capacity & spaces for the public

BASCO's Boat Guru Marketplace will be utilised to offer a unique discount service to charter boat guests.


Inspired by Last Minute dot Com hotel and vacation deals, BASCO announces the pilot of a bidding system for unutilised charter boat trips, or as a way to fill the gap from last minute cancellations by guests.


4-hour charters will be listed on Boat Guru Marketplace within 3-days of the planned trip. The charter will start with an opening bid, which may be below the confidential reserve price set by the charter operator.


Once the reserve price is met, the highest bidder wins the trip at the discounted price.


William Schick, co-founder of BASCO Boating explains that this idea has been in the making for quite few years but now the time is right to trial the discount pricing strategy which will benefit both the charter operators who have been left with spare capacity following cancellations. It's a great opportunity to spontaneously get on the water fast and at a good price!


Keep an eye out at www.boatguru.app and the promotions will be listed in the Boating Facebook Groups as well as be publicly advertised on social media.
