Timed session booking
15, 30 and 60 minute rides with capacity per ski, refuel buffers and live availability on your website.
Jet ski hire booking software: sessions, waivers & bonds
Jet ski hire: booked, signed and briefed before the beach. More riding, less paperwork.
Bookings come in by phone while you're waist-deep launching a ski. Waivers flap around on a clipboard and you give the same safety talk twenty times a day. We build booking, waiver, briefing and fleet systems for jet ski hire businesses so riders turn up ready to go. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for jet ski hire booking software that handles sessions, waivers and the weather?
Jet ski hire runs on tight timing. Thirty-minute sessions, a fleet that needs fuel between rides, a safety briefing nobody can skip and a forecast that can wipe out a Saturday by 9am. Most operators patch it together with a generic booking app, paper waivers, a cash tin for bonds and a phone that never stops ringing.
Wollopit builds custom jet ski hire software around how your beach actually runs. Riders book a timed slot, sign the waiver and watch the briefing before they leave home. Bonds are held on card and released when the ski comes back clean. When the wind picks up, every affected booking gets a rebooking link in one tap. We connect the tools you already use, replace the ones holding you back and look after the lot on our own servers.
01The problems
What we hear from jet ski hire businesses
Does your jet ski hire business have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most jet ski operators we talk to are flat out on the sand from open to close. The office side gets done at night on a phone with sunburn.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole hire operation, on one system.
These are the systems jet ski operators ask us about most. Each one works on its own and they get properly clever when they're joined up.
Session booking
Every slot, every ski, booked without the phone.
Riders pick a ride length and a time and see exactly what's left. Capacity is set per ski so you never sell seven rides on a six-ski fleet. Refuel buffers are built in so the day doesn't slowly slide behind.
- 15, 30 and 60 minute sessions
- Capacity set per ski
- Refuel and changeover buffers
- Single and double rider pricing
- Peak and school holiday pricing
- Deposits or full payment online
- Live times on your website
- Synced with your booking channels
- Staff can book walk-ups on a phone
- Pull a ski and its slots close
Waivers & briefings
Signed, briefed and ready before they hit the sand.
Every rider and passenger signs the waiver when they book. They watch your safety briefing and pass a quick quiz at home. On the beach you just check faces, hand out vests and launch.
- Waivers signed by every rider
- Guardian sign-off for minors
- Licence details captured where needed
- Your own briefing video
- Short quiz with a pass mark
- Reminders for unsigned waivers
- Check-in blocked until it's done
- Vest sizes collected at booking
- Records searchable by date or name
- Waiver wording you control
Bonds & damage
Bonds held on card. Damage backed by photos.
The bond is a hold on the rider's card, not cash in a tin. Staff snap the ski before and after each ride. If it comes back clean the hold drops off. If it doesn't you've got the photos to back it up.
- Card holds taken at booking
- Automatic release when checked in clean
- Capture part or all of the bond
- Before and after photo checks
- Damage notes linked to the ride
- Rider gets the photos by email
- Damage history per ski
- Repairs logged against the fleet
- No cash bonds to count at close
- Payments into Xero or MYOB
Weather rebooking
The wind comes up. The phone stays quiet.
Make the call once and the system finds every affected ride. Riders get an SMS with new times to pick from or a credit for later. You see who's sorted and who still needs a nudge.
- One weather call for a day or time range
- Affected bookings found automatically
- SMS and email with rebooking links
- Riders pick their own new time
- Credits or refunds by your rules
- Waivers carry over to the new ride
- Channel bookings flagged for follow-up
- Wind and tide notes for staff
- Rebooking progress at a glance
- Reports on weather-lost sessions
Fleet & servicing
Know every ski before it lets you down.
Engine hours tick over with every ride you run. Fuel gets logged between sessions and services come up before they're overdue. A ski that's due gets pulled from sale so it never makes it onto a booking.
- Engine hours per ski from rides
- Fuel logs between sessions
- Service schedules and reminders
- Pull a ski from sale in one tap
- Rego and survey due dates
- Repair and parts history
- Damage history from photo checks
- Life jacket and gear checks
- Fuel costs per ski
- Daily pre-start checklists

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your jet ski hire business: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend a day on the beach and in the office, watching how bookings, waivers, bonds and launches actually run.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your sessions, fleet, waivers, briefings, bonds, booking channels, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win before the next school holidays.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things jet ski hire businesses ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can riders watch the safety briefing before arriving?
Yes. A short briefing video and quiz can be part of the booking. Riders who haven't passed it get a reminder, so the beach handover is quick.
Can we hold bonds on card instead of cash?
Yes. We place a hold on the rider's card at booking. It drops off when the ski comes back clean. If there's damage you capture part or all of it with the photos attached.
What happens when the weather turns?
You make one weather call for the day or a time window. Every affected rider gets an SMS to pick a new time or take a credit and you can see who's still to sort.
Can it handle guided tours and double riders?
Yes. Tours get their own group bookings with a guide, ski allocation and pricing for single or double riders. Every passenger signs their own waiver.
We already use Rezdy or FareHarbor. Do we have to switch?
No. If your booking platform is doing its job we build around it with waivers, briefings, bonds, fleet tracking and check-in on top. If it's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve before anything changes.
How much does a jet ski hire system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like digital waivers or a briefing quiz can be quick. Bigger systems are planned in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most jet ski hire businesses we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
