IslandBook

Custom booking and operations software for Caribbean tourism businesses. Ferries, charters, rentals, tours, and more.

What IslandBook Does

Your booking system, not theirs

Each operator gets a custom-built booking site, an operations dashboard, and integrated payment processing. The price you set is the price your customer pays. No surcharges at checkout, no third-party branding, no mainland middleman.

Why IslandBook

IslandBook vs. the alternatives

Most booking platforms add a visible surcharge at checkout that you can't remove. Your customer sees one price on the listing, then a higher price when they go to pay. They own your website. They run support from the mainland.

Customer Checkout	Clean. No surcharges added.	~6% surcharge at checkout
Operator Branding	Your site, your domain	Their widget, their brand

The Checkout Problem

Surprise fees kill bookings

A tourist sees a $2,000 charter, gets excited, clicks Book Now, and at checkout the price jumps to $2,120 because of a 6% platform surcharge they didn't expect. That's the moment you lose them.
