Can I accept payment from a boater outside of Boat Planet?

All payments for jobs booked through Boat Planet must stay on the Boat Planet platform.

Boat Planet is designed to provide protection for both professionals and boaters. When booking any jobs through Boat Planet, it is necessary to complete the payment on the Boat Planet website. In the event of a dispute arising before, during, or after a job, our aim is to find a solution that benefits both the professional and the boater. To effectively address any disputes, it is important to keep the transaction within the Boat Planet platform.

If you are tempted to ask the boater to pay you directly, please resist the urge. It is important to complete the payment on the Boat Planet website to ensure the protection of both professionals and boaters. If any professional is found to be trying to bypass the platform and asking the boater to cancel a job and book with them directly, they will receive a warning and potentially removed from the platform. This means they will no longer be able to quote or receive jobs from Boat Planet.
