Jet ski and watersports hire businesses work on busy beaches and at resorts, renting jet skis by the half hour and running banana boat rides, parasailing and snorkelling trips. Most customers are visitors who book on the spot or through their hotel, many without local cash, and jet ski hire often needs a deposit against damage. Groups and families often want to split the cost. A payments app that takes payment on the beach, holds and returns deposits clearly and lets groups pay by link can win these businesses, and every customer who pays sees your app.

Take payment on the beach
Letting customers pay by phone on the sand means no lost sales from visitors without cash, and no cash to keep safe near the water.

Handle deposits clearly
A clear record of each deposit taken and returned avoids disputes when the jet ski comes back, and builds trust with customers.
Grow along the beach
Watersports businesses sit next to beach bars, sunbed rentals and boat trips. One hire business on your app can bring the businesses around it.
