Some outfitters do not care for the "slots" feature because they may have 6 available slots but those slots are all available for the same boat and they will not take more than one party in that book. So on the calendar, they would prefer to either remove the "slots" indicator or show 0/1 since the 1 boat is either available or booked.

As I am slowly getting assigned more fishing charters and doing coachings, I'm learning more about how they operate. I talked with Brandt about listing price packages "per boat" or something similar and here are some details of what we went over that are use cases for fishing and hunting listings: For fishing, most charters run one boat a day. That boat might have anywhere from 1-4 spots available, but if they book any amount of people between 1-4, that boat is booked for the day. Currently, we could set up price packages to include the specified number of guests, but that means the charter needs to open 4 slots a day. An issue many of them bring up is if that 4 person max is not met, there are still available spots to book, but they are actually booked for the day. A work around is to not include say 3 or 4 guests when making a "group price package" and have them all include one guests, but this would then show the outfitter the wrong number of guests on their calendar. Same goes for the waterfowl side of things that offer a flat rate/private groups: 8 slots are available, but a private group of 6 might book, and now that day is booked no matter if the max is reach, so that day needs to closed and not allow for two more guests to book separately. Not sure what we will call this but for sure worth discussing, Brandt also mentioned could be good for the industry so persuade guys to not mix groups (a common complaint and request from sportsman, specifically on the waterfowl side of things).

Within the calendar, show the arrival or departure dates differently if they do not start/end on the trip dates.

When checking out, add considerations if the lodge is unavailable. Consider setting up a lodge as a resource.

When logging an offsite booking, the user isn't prompted to indicate if there will be lodging and there for the calendar event doesn't display the checkin date.

Indicate the number of guests a lodge can hold (not just beds) ie 8 beds but holds 11 guests. We should also remove the cap of 20 beds.

A key differentiator between charter captains, is the boats that they run. As a client, knowing what sort of vessel you are taking on a given trip is super important and very relevant. If I were to book a $2300 / trip - i would really like to see pictures of the boat beforehand. A couple of our competitors, specifically Captain experiences and fishingbooker do a great job of showcasing this. Here's an example listing from a charter that is listed on both MB and Captain Experiences. I think we should try and look into adding more relevant information onto our fishing listings. https://captainexperiences.com/louisiana/cypremort-point-fishing-charters/5445/full-day-inshore-saltwater-marsh-and-bay-fishing-trip Mallard Bay Listing: https://mallardbay.com/south-louisiana-red-fishing

Move check-in and check-out times to pricing packages and lodging, rather than the outfitter. Packages could inherit default from Outfitter.

Currently on the month view we can only show so many event bars and there's no indication if there's more. The scroll up tray for events is a bit clumsy as it introduces a scroll within the scroll and for some devices the height is off. Are there other approaches we could take like aligning more to what apple or gmail do in their calendars?

If an Outfitter has a pricing package or lodge that does not have upcoming availability we should automatically notify the. Additionally, we could let them know that if they do not address it within a particular timeframe, we will remove the listing or pricing package from the platform.
