Question 1

What does Charter Boat Booking Requests — 6-Passenger Limit actually do?

Accepted Answer

valueprop You run a six-pack charter. The requests that cost you the most aren't the ones you lose — they're the ones you win and then have to give back: a party of eight books through your generic contact form, you read it Sunday night, and now you're the one explaining a federal passenger limit to someone who already told their friends the trip was on. Straight from the plugin's own readme: "Party size is a fixed list of 1 to 6 — a request for a seventh passenger cannot be submitted at all" and "Every request saved in your own site's database with the date and time it arrived." A generic contact form takes any number a stranger types; a hosted booking service wants a monthly seat and keeps your customer list on its own server. This one is "Plain HTML fields with real labels and no JavaScript — nothing to configure and nothing loaded from another server." Install the free version from the marketplace first, drop [charter-boat-booking-requests] on a page, and watch a real request land in your own admin screen before you decide anything. The paid version adds the CSV export of the whole request log, the email that reaches your inbox the moment a request is sent, and the automatic acknowledgement to the person who asked. A booking form built to order by a WordPress developer is hourly work — freelance marketplaces publish those rates openly, with WordPress work commonly listed fr

Question 2

Who is Charter Boat Booking Requests — 6-Passenger Limit for?

Accepted Answer

Captains and owner-operators of United States six-passenger charter boats — fishing, diving and sunset-cruise operations running an uninspected passenger vessel under an OUPV (six-pack) credential — who keep their own WordPress site and still take trips through phone calls and Facebook messages. Two axes crossed: the trade (a one-boat operation whose entire schedule is date, trip length and headcount) times the federal rule that defines it (an uninspected passenger vessel may carry no more than six passengers). They have to be right the first time, because a party of seven that a website has already accepted is a trip the captain either breaks to someone's face at the dock or takes illegally.

Question 3

What can I do for free, and what needs the paid version?

Accepted Answer

Send yourself one test request from your phone, then open the CSV row it produced. While you are in there, set the site's administration email address under Settings → General to the address you actually read on the water — that is the address the paid version sends every new request to.

Question 4

What would this cost if someone did it for me?

Accepted Answer

A booking form built to order by a WordPress developer is hourly work — freelance marketplaces publish those rates openly, with WordPress work commonly listed from about $25 to over $100 an hour.
