Dash AI Agents · Active 24/7

The work that used to wait until Monday.

Pre-built AI agents for charter operators, working in the background while you run the trips.

Captain Daily Briefing Agent
Builds each captain a personal briefing every morning — passenger manifest, weather + sea state, dietary flags, special requests, vessel notes — and texts it to their phone before they leave for the marina.
Runs 5am daily
🌊
Weather Reschedule Agent
Watches the forecast for tomorrow's departures. Drafts reschedule emails for unsafe sea state. Drafts advisory emails for marginal conditions — protecting your review score.
Runs 5pm daily

Runs daily
💳
Balance-Due Collection Agent

Runs hourly
👥
Peak-Day Captain Staffing Agent
Watches tomorrow's charter load and weather forecast, predicts captain demand, and alerts you before the morning marina rush blows up your schedule.
Runs 6pm daily
📋
Passenger Manifest Builder Agent
Pulls every booking on tomorrow's departures, builds a Coast Guard-compliant passenger manifest with names, ages, contacts, waiver status — and delivers to the captain's phone.

🎁
Gift Voucher Tracker Agent
Watches every charter gift voucher sold and pings recipients 30 days before expiry — recovers vouchers that would otherwise quietly lapse on the customer.
Runs weekly
No-Show Follow-Up Agent
Fires 45 minutes after a no-show, sends a warm follow-up with a rebook link and policy clarification, and logs the outcome — turning a missed booking into a recovered one.
Runs on no-show
Post-Trip Review Request Agent
Texts passengers 24 hours after their charter — at the perfect moment when the experience is still fresh — asking for a Google review. Skips anyone flagged with a complaint.
Runs on completion + 24h
✍️
Charter Waiver Chaser Agent
Scans tomorrow's departures 24 hours out, flags missing or expired waivers, and texts each passenger a one-tap signing link until they sign.
Runs hourly
🌐
OTA Booking Sync Agent
Monitors every Viator and GetYourGuide booking as it lands — flags conflicts, mismatched pricing, or capacity overrides so you catch issues before the passenger shows up at the wrong dock.

Features

Workflows built for charter operators, not generic tourism software.

Three workflows other charter software doesn't have. Plus all the standard tools you'd expect — done well.

Deposit & Balance-Due

Deposit at booking. Balance auto-charged before they reach the dock.

Passenger books online, pays a 25% deposit, signs the waiver. 48 hours before departure, EquipDash texts them a one-tap link to pay the balance — or auto-charges the card on file.

  • Deposit + balance-due by default — configure a percentage or fixed deposit per charter. EquipDash collects the rest automatically before departure. No more half-paid charters showing up at the dock.
  • Security deposit hold + release — authorise a damage hold at booking, release automatically on a clean return. Apply to documented damage with photo evidence — no awkward dock-side disputes.
  • Bait, fuel, ice, gratuity charges — add charter-specific charges to a booking in seconds. Passenger sees the line item, pays through the same flow, every cost reconciled to the trip.
  • Marina tap-to-pay — last-minute add-on at the dock, captain takes payment on her phone via Stripe Terminal, no separate till to reconcile.

Captain & Manifest

Every captain knows everything. Before they cast off.

The 6pm sunset sail manifest builds itself: passenger names, ages, contacts, special requests, waivers. Lands on Capt. Marco's phone at 4pm — offshore-endorsed, the only captain assigned to Tidewater that evening.

  • Captain qualification matching — track USCG license class (Master, OUPV), offshore + towing endorsements, first-aid certs. Assigning a charter shows you who's free and qualified for that vessel — not just free.
  • USCG-compliant manifests — names, ages, emergency contacts, special needs, waiver status, custom form responses — pulled from booking data, packaged per departure, exportable in the USCG passenger-vessel format.
  • Captain briefing on mobile — every captain gets the daily brief on their phone: passenger manifest, weather + sea state, vessel notes, any special-needs flags.
  • License + inspection expiry tracking — Captain license renewals, drug-test windows, vessel Coast Guard inspections. EquipDash flags renewals 60/30/14/7 days out and blocks bookings on lapsed compliance.

Weather & Channels

One-tap weather reschedule. Direct + Viator + GetYourGuide in sync.

Forecast turns ugly. Pick a new departure from the calendar — EquipDash texts every passenger a one-tap link to confirm the new time or self-serve a refund inside your policy. Viator + GetYourGuide capacity update in real time so nobody books an already-canceled trip.

  • One-tap weather reschedule — pick a new slot, EquipDash texts every passenger a one-tap confirm/refund link. No 18 voicemails on Saturday morning. The optional Weather Agent drafts the comms automatically.
  • Viator + GetYourGuide sync — list your charters where passengers already book. Bookings sync back in real time. Capacity and pricing update everywhere automatically — no double-booking a 6-pax vessel.
  • One unified calendar — OTA bookings, direct bookings, gift voucher redemptions, balance-due statuses — all on the same vessel view. No reconciling spreadsheets at end of day.

A typical Saturday

3 vessels. 8 trips. 64 passengers. Zero burnout.

Here's what a busy weekend looks like running on EquipDash — from the morning fleet check to the overnight agents finishing up while you sleep.

Dash AI · Captain morning brief

Good morning. 8 trips today, 64 passengers. Fleet: Tidewater ✓ inspection valid · Reel Hunter ✓ inspection valid · Blue Horizon ✓ inspection valid. Sea state 2ft, light NE wind — green across all departures.

2 unsigned waivers on tonight's 6pm Sunset Sailing. I've texted both passengers overnight — 1 already signed.

Capt. Marco's calling out sick. Capt. Carla can cover his 9am inshore — she's offshore-endorsed and free until 1pm. Want me to swap and notify Marco's passengers?

6:00 AM · Pre-shift

Know what's about to break before passengers reach the dock.

Dash AI checks last night's bookings, the day's weather + sea state, captain availability, inspection status across the fleet, and any unsigned waivers — then writes the brief. No more flipping between five tabs at 5:45am.

Viator just sold the last spot on Sunday's offshore reef dive. EquipDash auto-closes the same trip on GetYourGuide and your direct widget so no one can double-book it. Dash AI suggests adding a second dive boat if demand keeps coming.
