Questions

## Private yacht charters: the short answers.

Can I take a deposit?+

Yes. Set a deposit percentage per product; the balance request goes out automatically.

Can I charter a boat that also runs tours?+

Yes. The shared tours lose that boat’s seats for the charter window.

What would Junglebee cost me on a $1,800 charter?+

4% per card payment, plus card processing. By default the 4% is added to the guest’s total, so they pay $1,872.00 and you receive about $1,745.41. 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 private yacht 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.
