Best online rental system for kayaking and canoeing

Running a kayak and canoe rental business can be challenging, but with the right tools, it becomes a rewarding experience.

Efficiently managing bookings and resources is crucial to avoid overbookings and ensure smooth operations. An effective online system helps maximise revenue by increasing visibility and reach to potential customers, and with the best booking system you even earn time back to spend offering the activities you love!

eola has been designed with water centres in mind, continuously studying their day-to-day struggles and constantly updating to solve them.

Here’s why eola is the go-to rental system for kayaking centres

Your water centre calendar at a glance

Stay on top of your week with a live overview of your water centre’s bookings and instructor calendars. View, edit and manage bookings and resources all in one platform, allowing you and your team to run your experiences smoothly.

Easily schedule kayaking courses, events, and activities while keeping track of your rentals, ensuring nothing gets missed and everything runs like clockwork.

Make the most out of your gear

Keeping track of your equipment with classes and bookings throughout the day can be a headache. We’ve got you covered!

We keep track of your equipment so you can rent out spare gear without worrying about overbooking. This means walk-ins can grab a kayak on the spot, and you can relax knowing you won't need it for a class or booking coming up!

All bookings in one place

Easily manage online bookings and walk-ins in one system. The eola card readers connect your in-person bookings to your eola account - automatically updating your equipment availability and calendar, so you can rent out your gear without the risk of overbooking!

Increase revenue, save time, and improve your customers’ experience!

Manage your team without the stress

Keeping track of bookings and instructor schedules shouldn’t be a full-time job. On eola you get detailed instructor calendars, allowing you to schedule lessons, track availability, and prevent double bookings with ease.

Instructors have their own unique permissions and calendars. This ensures a simple and clear overview of their assigned classes and enhances security and operational control. Find out more about instructor management on eola.
