We know your business

Built by kayaking operators.

BookSpot was born on the shores of Stockholm, where founders Daniel and Anton ran their own activity company, Långholmen Kajak and experienced the challenges of managing bookings, customers and equipment.

Instead of settling for a system that didn’t fit their needs, the duo decided to build the booking solution they always wished existed.

Support

Yes, BookSpot works very well for kayaking and canoe tours and rentals.

BookSpot is designed for activities where timing, group size, guides and resources must be managed accurately in real time. This makes it ideal for businesses offering guided kayak or canoe tours, rentals, half-day or multi-day trips, and combinations of tours and rentals.

The system helps operators manage bookings, time slots, participant limits, boats, safety equipment, guides and start times from one place, preventing overbooking and operational conflicts.

The booking flow is simple and clear for guests, while you keep full operational control behind the scenes.

For example, if you offer guided tours and hourly rentals using the same kayaks, BookSpot automatically synchronises availability so the same kayak can never be booked twice.

No. BookSpot prevents overbooking, even if you run kayak or canoe tours and rentals simultaneously.

You avoid overbooking by using resources, such as kayaks, canoes or gear. A resource can only be booked once at the same time. When capacity is reached, BookSpot automatically blocks further bookings.

For example, if you have 20 kayaks in total and run both guided tours and rentals, BookSpot ensures the combined number of booked kayaks never exceeds 20, no matter how bookings are split between products.

Yes. BookSpot supports self-service rentals through an integration with Igloo, a digital lock provider.

With this integration, you can offer fully automated, self-service rentals for equipment or facilities such as sheds or storage spaces. When a booking is confirmed, BookSpot sends the booking details to Igloo, which automatically generates a time-based access code. The code is then sent to the guest before their booking starts, allowing them to unlock the lock at the correct time without staff involvement.

This works well for self-service rentals such as kayaks and canoes, or other locked facilities. Access is limited to the booked timeslot, helping you maintain security while reducing manual work for your team.

Self-service rentals make it easier to operate outside staffed hours, reduce administration and give guests a smooth, modern booking experience, while you keep full control over availability and access rules.

Yes, add-ons can be offered directly in the booking flow. You can sell extras such as:

  • Dry bag rental
  • Waterproof phone cases
  • Safety equipment
  • Transport or shuttle service
  • Lunch packs

Guests add these with one click during checkout, increasing revenue without adding friction for your staff.

Yes, BookSpot supports digital gift cards.

Guests can purchase gift cards online and redeem them later for kayak or canoe tours or rentals. You control the value, validity period and usage rules from your admin dashboard.

Gift cards are especially popular for outdoor experiences during holidays and off-season periods.
