Commission-free booking software for Parasailing operators who take bookings over WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Turn every enquiry into a ready-to-confirm booking — one flat monthly price, 0% commission.
Parasailing sells in fifteen-minute flights off the back of one boat, mostly to people who decided twenty minutes ago. Retveno turns those walk-up messages into bookings against the slot they actually fit, so the boat leaves full and nobody is turned away at the jetty.

A whole messy chat becomes one clean booking.
Real bookings don't arrive in one tidy message — they're a back-and-forth, with changed dates and afterthoughts. Watch us untangle the whole thread into a single booking, exactly like we do on autopilot.

Your DMs become bookings — automatically
Connect your channels once and the messages customers send you on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger turn into ready-to-confirm bookings by themselves. No copy-paste, no typing, nothing for your guests to install — you just tap confirm. Only messages that mention a booking are ever read; never your private chats.
Commission-free
Unlike Rezdy or FareHarbor, we never take a cut of your bookings. One flat monthly price, every sale is yours.
WhatsApp reminders
Automatic SMS and WhatsApp reminders before each trip cut no-shows without you lifting a finger.
Your enquiries become bookings — automatically
Connect WhatsApp, Instagram or Messenger once and every booking conversation turns into a pending booking with the customer name, dates, group size and contact details already filled in. Review and tap confirm — no copy-paste, no marketplace, nothing new for your guests to learn. Not a channel we connect to yet? Paste a screenshot and Retveno reads it into a draft booking.

Capture the details Parasailing actually needs
Generic booking forms don't fit adventure activities. A parasail flight is sold per boat slot, and what fills it is combined rider weight — one flyer or a tandem pair has to sit inside the chute's range before the boat casts off. Retveno lets you define your own custom fields per tour — for example combined rider weight, number of flyers per slot, age, hotel pickup — so every booking captures exactly what you need to run the trip safely.

What limits a departure
Flyers per boat slot. One boat runs back-to-back fifteen-minute flights, so the day is a queue of slots rather than a few departures.

6 seats left.
Waivers
Sent with the booking and signed before arrival, so nobody is filling in paperwork at the meeting point. On the Pro plan.
On the day
A departure manifest you can open on your phone, carrying every custom field the booking captured — and exportable to CSV.
How Parasailing actually runs
Parasailing runs as a conveyor rather than as a diary.
One boat does back-to-back flights of roughly fifteen minutes from mid-morning until the afternoon wind picks up, and the day is a queue of short slots rather than a handful of departures. Most of that queue is filled the same day by people already on the beach, which means the booking system has to keep up with walk-ups in real time — a slot you sold twice is one you discover with two families standing on the jetty.
Every departure on one calendar
When the forecast moves, you move the departure — not forty chat threads. Seats, deposits and the guide assigned, in one view.
What a half-filled booking costs you
Weight here is combined, not individual, and it is the constraint the whole flight is planned around: a tandem pair has to fall inside the canopy's range together, so two figures that are each fine can be impossible as a pair.
Finding that out at the dock costs the slot and the next one behind it, because the boat does not wait. Capturing weight per flyer and how many are going up together is the difference between a full day and a day with holes in it.
What one more guest actually earns you
One more guest can cost more than they pay — another vehicle, another guide, another van run. Retveno works it out per departure before you accept the booking.

One day, two ways
The same hours, the same weather, the same customers — once with the admin you do now, and once with it already done.
On your ownWith Retveno
09:00The first boat goes at ten; walk-ups are already queueing.
You write names on a pad and lose track of slots.
Each slot is a departure; walk-ups book against what's free.
11:30A tandem pair is too heavy together but fine apart.
You find out at the dock and lose the slot.
Combined weight is on the booking before they pay.
14:00The wind is building; two slots have to move earlier.
You shout across the beach for the people booked.
You move the slots; the new time goes to each flyer.
16:00The boat stops for the day.
You total the pad and hope it matches the till.
Every flight is in the day's list, paid or due.
End of the day
20:50 Still reconciling today's flights against the pad.
16:45 The day is reconciled. You're in the sea before sunset.

Frequently asked questions
I sell by boat slot, not by person — can bookings work that way?
Yes. Set each flight as a departure whose capacity is the number of flyers that slot can carry, and bookings fill it until it closes itself. A booking is then always against a specific slot on a specific boat, so a same-day walk-up cannot quietly oversell a flight that is already full.
Do I have to change how I take bookings?
No. Keep taking bookings on WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger exactly as you do today. Connect your channels once and booking messages turn into ready-to-confirm bookings automatically.
What does a parasailing booking need to capture?
A parasail flight is sold per boat slot, and what fills it is combined rider weight — one flyer or a tandem pair has to sit inside the chute's range before the boat casts off. In Retveno those are custom fields you define per tour — for this one, typically combined rider weight, number of flyers per slot, age, hotel pickup. They arrive filled in on the booking, appear on the departure manifest, and export to CSV with everything else.
Is it really commission-free?
Yes. One flat monthly price — no commission and no per-booking fee. Every booking stays 100% yours.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. Start free with no credit card required, upgrade when you're ready, and cancel anytime — your data always stays yours.
