About Chartrr
The Fair Way to Book Fishing Charters
Chartrr is a fishing charter marketplace that eliminates unfair commissions, verifies every captain, and puts safety first. We connect anglers with licensed, insured charter captains at the lowest fees in the industry.
Why Chartrr Exists
Booking a fishing charter should not cost captains 20-30% of their earnings. The dominant platforms in this space operate on a commission model that takes a significant cut of every trip. Captains either absorb the loss or raise prices, and anglers end up paying more for the same experience.
Beyond pricing, there is a verification gap. Most booking platforms do not verify USCG captain's licenses. They do not require proof of liability insurance. They do not include pre-departure safety checklists. Anglers are left to trust that the person operating a vessel in open water has the credentials to do so safely.
Chartrr was built to fix both problems. We charge captains zero commissions on every plan and verify every captain's USCG license and insurance before their listing goes live. Every trip includes a USCG-recommended pre-departure safety checklist. Anglers pay the lowest service fee in the industry—8%, compared to the 20-30% combined fees on competing platforms.
