Hourly booking
Kayaks and boards.
Kayak & SUP hire booking software: hourly slots & waivers
Kayak & SUP hire: booked by the hour, on the water faster. Slots, waivers and weather together.
Walk-ups queuing, waivers on clipboards and windy days meaning a dozen phone calls. We build paddle hire systems that book online and handle the weather.
Looking for kayak or SUP hire booking software?
Paddle hire is quick turnover by the hour. Booking ahead, signing waivers online and handling weather keeps it smooth. We build those systems.
Wollopit builds booking systems, itineraries, guest portals and websites for kayak and SUP hire businesses around how your tours and trips actually run. We connect the booking platforms you already use, cut the commissions you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to looking after guests.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your kayak and SUP 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 time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things kayak and SUP hire businesses ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can we offer guided tours as well?
Yes. Guided paddles can run alongside hire with their own times and guide rosters.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your kayak and SUP hire business. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can we keep selling through agents and OTAs?
Yes. We connect your direct bookings with the channels you use, so availability lines up everywhere and you push more people to book direct.
What happens when weather cancels a trip?
Guests can be messaged, rebooked or refunded from one screen instead of a night of phone calls.
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 kayak and SUP 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.
