Questions

## Half-day charters: the short answers.

Can I sell morning and afternoon on the same boat?+

Yes. Each slot blocks the boat only for its own time.

What if the boat is taken?+

The next free boat or time is offered.

What would Junglebee cost me on a $950 charter?+

4% per card payment, plus card processing. By default the 4% is added to the guest’s total, so they pay $988.00 and you receive about $921.05. No monthly fee, and nothing on cash.

Can Junglebee take card payments in my country?+

In the Caribbean and Costa Rica, JB Pay takes card payments for you and wires you in US dollars every fortnight, no merchant account needed. In Stripe countries such as the US, Canada and Europe, you connect your own Stripe account.

Can I sell my half-day charters on GetYourGuide and Viator too?+

Yes. Every channel sells from the same availability, so a booking anywhere closes the spot everywhere. Junglebee charges nothing on reseller bookings.

What if I have to cancel a trip?+

Cancel the departure and its bookings move to one list. Move each guest to another date or refund them under your policy; they’re emailed automatically.

How long does it take to set up?+

Most operators set up in an afternoon and take their first booking the same day. Already on another system? Send us an export and we import your products, bookings and guests.
