Can I create a custom service for additional income?
Have a service in mind that could be a hit and potentially increase your earnings? We’re here to support you.
On boatUnity, turning your ideas into reality is simple — just add personalized services to your listing. Here’s how:
- 1. Log in to your dashboard and go to the “My Listings” section.
If you have multiple listings, select the boat you want to update. - 2. In the pricing step, scroll down to the bottom of the page to find the “Additional Options” section, then click “Add”.
- 3. A pop-up form will appear. To activate your custom service, fill in the following fields:
- Service name
- Detailed description (e.g., excursion through the Saint Lawrence locks, guided fishing trips, water-skiing sessions, scuba diving, etc.)
- Service price
- Preferred currency (CAD, USD, etc.)
- 4. Once you’ve completed the form, click “Save”.
- 5. Your service will now be added to the list of optional fees available in your listing.
- 6. To make it visible and bookable by your guests or co-navigators, simply check the corresponding box. It will then appear on your online listing and can be selected during the booking process.
Note: Under current Canadian regulations, adding any service or option (such as onboard assistance, guided activities etc.) to a bareboat rental may reclassify the activity as a commercial operation rather than private pleasure boating. In such cases, the owner must comply with Transport Canada requirements for commercial activities (e.g., inspection, registration, licencing, operator qualifications, etc.).
