FishingBooker commission is captain-set between 10–30% per their help center, charged on every trip. We assume your same revenue books elsewhere.
What you're really paying for.
The cut is only half of it. The other half is who owns the angler after the trip — because the one who owns the client gets the next ten bookings for free.

“Free” software your customers pay for.
FareHarbor doesn't bill you — it staples about 6% onto your angler's total at checkout. Your $850 trip quietly shows up as ~$900, and you eat every booking that surcharge scares off.
Flat fee, no checkout surcharge. Your price is your price.
You don't have to quit anything to win here.
We don't replace your FishingBooker listing, your FareHarbor setup, or your Facebook page. Keep every one of them. Timber & Tackle is the piece you actually own — your own site, at a flat fee — running right alongside the rest. The only thing that changes is where your repeat clients book, and who keeps the cut.
We build it first — free
Your whole site, your trips, your photos, live and ready for you to look at before you owe a thing. No deposit, no card.
Keep running everything else
Stay on the marketplaces as long as they send you strangers. Send your regulars to your own site instead — and watch where the money actually comes from.
$0 until you're booking
Nothing today. Your flat fee starts when your season opens or your first booking lands — never a dead off-season month.
The only thing you're risking is the commission you're already paying.
We build it. You approve it. You book.
1
We build it
Send us your trips, or just your website. We build your whole booking site and load it up — before you pay a dime.
2
You approve it
Tap a link, look it over, approve. One phone call and one tap — that's your whole setup.
3
You book
Clients book direct on your domain, pay their deposit, and the money goes straight to your account.
The marketplace owns your customer. You won't.
Read FishingBooker's own rules: sharing your phone number to book a client direct, sending them to your own site, moving them to a text thread — all against policy, all grounds for removal. That regular who fishes with you every fall? On their terms, they're not your client. They're the platform's, and you re-rent them at 10–30% every single trip.
On Timber & Tackle, the angler is yours the moment they book.
- ✓Your domain and your SEO — not ours.
- ✓Your Google Business Profile stays yours.
- ✓Your client list is yours alone — never shared, never sold, never re-rented to you.
- ✓Email and re-book them direct — no policy says you can't.
- ✓One-click full export, any time. The day you start and the day you leave.

Straight answers.
Do you take a cut of my bookings?
Never. Not one percent. Trip money goes client → your Stripe account. Our only revenue is the flat subscription.
I'm already on FishingBooker. Why switch?
Keep listing there if it sends you strangers — that's lead-gen. But the regulars who already know you shouldn't cost you 10–30% forever. Send them to your own site to re-book and that commission becomes yours. Most guides run both for a season, then watch where the money actually comes from.
FareHarbor is free. How do you beat free?
FareHarbor is free to you because the ~6% rides on your customer's bill instead. Your $850 trip quietly becomes $900 at checkout, and you eat the bookings that fee scares off. Our flat fee means your price is your price — no surcharge, no surprise.
What if I run trips seasonally?
Your billing clock starts when your season opens (or your first booking) — never a dead month. Sign up in the off-season for free.
Who owns my website and clients?
You do. Your domain, your SEO, your Google profile, your client list. One-click export any time — including the day you decide to leave.
What does setup take?
A phone call and a tap. We build the whole thing and you approve it. You don't configure anything.
Your trips. Your money. Booked direct.
Tell us your website or your trips. We'll build the whole site free and send you a link. Look it over. If the math doesn't move you, you've lost nothing but the time it took to read this.
