7-day forecast strip — each day shows abbreviated weekday name, max temperature, and peak wind speed. Wind is colour-coded: green (calm <20 km/h), amber (windy 20–29 km/h), red (dangerous 30+ km/h).

How multipliers work — each value scales your vessel’s base price at checkout. ×1.00 = no change. ×1.25 = 25% above base. Applied automatically — no manual price editing needed.

Five categories — Peak Weekday (Oct–Mar, Mon–Thu) · Peak Weekend (Oct–Mar, Fri–Sun) · Off-Peak Weekday (Apr–Sep, Mon–Thu) · Off-Peak Weekend (Apr–Sep, Fri–Sun) · Public Holiday.

Effective multiplier panel — top-right of the section. Shows the multiplier currently active today and which season it falls into. Always-on sanity check.

Public holidays auto-detected — NSW public holidays including floating dates (Easter, King’s Birthday, Labour Day) are calculated automatically each year. No manual date entry needed.

Thank you message — below the multipliers. A personal note shown to the client after their booking is confirmed.

Company logo — also in this panel. Appears in booking confirmation emails. Recommended: 200×200px minimum, square or landscape.

Auto Slot Manager — set regular available charter times so you do not need to add the same slots one by one every week. Choose the days, times, and vessels you want to make available.

Max guests per event type — set a different guest cap for specific event categories (e.g. corporate vs birthday). This keeps higher-risk or more crowded events under control.

Disallowed event types — block specific event categories entirely. Clients cannot choose those event types when booking your vessels.

Security requirements by event — specify which event types require licensed security personnel. Clients can be warned early that security staff are needed.

VIP only — this panel is completely hidden for Free and Paid operators.

Pending requests — each card shows the event type, guest count, and duration. A live countdown timer shows how much of the 15-minute response window remains.

⚡ Accept Charter — clicking this link marks you as the accepting operator. The lead moves off the queue for other VIP operators and you receive a banner confirming acceptance.

✗ Decline — passes the request to the next operator in the dispatch queue. Cannot be undone.

Accepted requests — shown below the pending section in green. Prompts you to contact the client directly to confirm a slot.

Client requested your specific boat — a blue badge appears on the request if the client named your specific vessel, not just any available operator.

Downgrade note — a line in the modal description explains that upgrades take effect immediately and downgrades take effect from the next billing cycle.

Monthly bid — minimum $30/month. The bid amount is completely private — no other operator can see it. Higher bid = higher rank in the ASAP queue = first to receive urgent charter leads.

Promo code field — also available in the VIP bid modal. Codes can apply a percentage discount or make VIP free.

Charge note (joining) — green note confirms the amount charged today and that the dispatch rank updates immediately.
