Hi sailor! How can we help?

The Weather Flex Option is a mechanism provided by boatUnity to facilitate your rentals or co-navigation in case of unfavorable weather conditions. It allows your renters to reschedule their trip, thus enhancing their trust in your listing. Additionally, it helps reduce your cancellation rates by providing an alternative for renters or co-navigators in case of adverse weather.

If you offer the Weather Flex Option in your listing, and your renters or co-navigators subscribe to this option, you commit to allowing them to reschedule their nautical outing if weather conditions are not favorable during their initial booking period. You can use the messaging system available on your boatUnity account to discuss and agree on a more suitable period to fulfill your commitment.

For day or half-day rentals or co-navigation, renters or co-navigators who have subscribed to the Weather Flex Option can request a credit for the amount of their reservation, minus boatUnity service fees. To benefit from the Weather Flex Option, renters or co-navigators must inform the owner or captain, as well as boatUnity, via email before the scheduled embarkation date.

Offering the Weather Flex Option in your boat listing as an owner can provide several significant advantages. Firstly, it enhances the attractiveness of your offer to potential renters. They are more inclined to book your boat knowing they take no risk in case of unfavorable weather conditions. The Weather Flex Option reassures renters, encouraging them to consider your boat for their next excursion.

Moreover, by offering this guarantee, you demonstrate a high level of professionalism and consideration for the needs of your renters. This builds trust between you and the renters or co-navigators, fostering positive relationships and favorable reviews. Renters are more likely to return for other rentals or recommend your boat to their friends, which can boost demand and loyalty.

Another significant benefit of this guarantee is a substantial reduction in booking cancellations due to bad weather. Finally, the Weather Flex Option can help you fill your booking calendar, even in unpredictable weather conditions. Renters will feel more comfortable booking your boat knowing they have an alternative if the weather doesn't cooperate, which can reduce cancellations and increase your overall revenue.

In summary, the Weather Flex Option is a win-win option, providing peace of mind to renters while strengthening your position as a caring and reliable boat owner.
