Kitedeck Reviews & Product Details

KiteDeck is a cloud-based booking and management software built for kitesurf cruise operators: companies running multi-day kite trips on catamarans, motor yachts and liveaboards. It replaces the shared spreadsheet, manual deposit follow-ups and double-booked cabins with a single tool covering the whole season, from boat layout to final balance. Cabin and berth booking on a visual boat plan. Operators lay out each boat deck by deck and cabin by cabin, starting from a template (38 m Red Sea motor yacht, 4-cabin catamaran) or a blank boat. Each cruise generates an interactive cabin plan that fills as guests book, so a berth can never be sold twice. Operators sell by the berth or by the whole cabin, add suite and solo-traveller supplements, and hold time-limited options that release automatically if the guest does not confirm. Online deposits and automated follow-up. Deposits and balances are collected online through Stripe, directly into the operator's own Stripe account. KiteDeck can charge the balance automatically to the deposit card before departure, sends balance and document reminders from D-30 to departure day, and handles refunds from the booking. Each cruise shows expected margin, actual margin and break-even point, and multi-week boat charters are spread across the departures that use them. A finance module tracks income, expenses and receipts, prepares turnover figures for tax returns and exports to CSV. Direct and indirect distribution. Each operator gets a public booking storefront under its own name, an embeddable booking widget, an iCal feed, a read-only JSON API and webhooks. Agencies and commissioned resellers sell from the same live inventory, with per-cruise seat quotas and automatic commission calculation. Promo codes and extras such as gear rental or transfers are built in. Guest management for kite trips. Guest records hold contact details, kitesurf level and cruise history, plus an optional kiter profile (level, height, weight, own gear or rental) collected at booking. Shared cabins are never mixed between strangers of different sexes. Segmented email campaigns handle consent and unsubscribes automatically. Multilingual and multi-currency. The back office and the public booking pages are available in 8 languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Russian, Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal). Booking pages follow the traveller's browser language. Operators sell in EUR, USD, GBP or CHF. Pricing. KiteDeck charges a 3% commission (excl. VAT) on payments collected online. There is no subscription, no setup fee and no limit on boats, cruises or guests. Payments recorded manually are free. KiteDeck is developed by Horizon Makers in France and hosted on European infrastructure, with passwordless sign-in, mandatory two-factor authentication and full data export at any time.
