Fishing guides struggle with the business side: managing bookings via text, no professional online presence, chasing payments after sessions, and no reviews system to build reputation. You're brilliant on the water but the admin is killing your growth. Clients expect to find you online, check availability and book instantly.
ClubNest gives guides a professional guide profile, online booking with payments, client reviews, and a marketing toolkit. Clients find your profile, see your availability, read reviews from past sessions and book with payment — all before they've even sent you a message. You focus on guiding, not admin.
SEO tools, social media automation and AI content help guides get found by new clients. The system writes blog posts about your target species, seasonal tips and venue guides — keeping your profile active in search results and social feeds without you lifting a finger.
2.5% of every guided session funds junior angling. That's 50% of our entire fee reinvested into grassroots coaching, tackle grants and getting young people onto the water with experienced guides like you.
