It doesn’t matter if you’re a multi-million-pound business or a one-man band. People are searching for all sorts all over the globe. As long as you offer a service related to any marine or water activity, you’re good to begin! And we have 40+ categories for you to become a part of!

NOPE! Running a watersports business can be expensive enough – you don’t need us taking a commission every time someone gets in touch with you to enquire or make a booking.

We make our money only from the listing fee. So all you have to do is pay once annually/monthly for your listing to appear on the site and that’s it. (Unless you have the Basic listing – then that’s free!)

We make it as easy as possible for customers to get in contact with you directly.

With any paid listing, customers can immediately drop you an email via the ‘Enquire Now’ button displayed on your listing. Furthermore, you can show any contact info you like, including your telephone number, website, and social media profiles. It helps to give customers as many opportunities as possible to get in touch.

We also understand all water-related services & activities will have different needs when liaising with customers – Your business is unique and we wouldn’t want to take that away! So customers will contact you directly to make bookings and enquiries.

Visit your Account settings. Submit the form at the bottom of the page.

You’ll need your Username, Listing ID (found at the bottom of your listing’s page), and Order Number (found on your confirmation email) to complete the form.

Once you have submitted your form, your listing will be deleted from the site and no further payments will be taken.

Please do this at least 7 days before your next payment date to ensure you do not get charged any further payments. It may take up to 7 days for changes to take effect and your listing to disappear on the site.

• Verbally ask your customers after they have used your service if they would mind leaving a review on Watersports.Guru.
• Remind customers to leave you a review by including it in your emails and newsletters.
• Contact old customers who have previously used your service and prompt them to leave a review. Hey! You can also use this as an opportunity to tell them about any other exciting updates!
