Guests choose how long they want — you set the options and the pricing adjusts automatically.

✦ Key takeaways

  • Offer multiple duration options (2hr, 3hr, 4hr…) on one product — not separate products
  • Asset availability blocks correctly for the guest’s chosen duration
  • Pricing recalculates live as the guest adjusts duration or party size

Before flexible-duration booking, the standard workaround was creating three separate products for “2-hour tour,” “3-hour tour,” and “4-hour tour.” It worked, but it was messy — three products to keep in sync, three availability calendars, three sets of add-ons, and guests who were confused about which to pick.

Freebo’s flex-duration products let you offer all those options under one product. Guests see a duration picker in checkout; the price updates as they adjust.

Operator setup

  1. Set product type to Flex Duration

    In the product form’s Scheduling tab, toggle the product type to Flex Duration. This unlocks the duration configuration options.

  2. Configure base duration and per-hour rate

    Set your base duration (e.g., 2 hours) and base price. Add the additional hour rate that charges for each hour beyond the base. Choose which duration increments to offer guests.

  3. Set up tiered-hourly pricing tiers

    In the Pricing tab, configure guest-count pricing bands. Freebo stacks the duration rate and the per-guest rate together automatically.

  4. Publish — checkout handles the rest

    Guests see a duration selector on your public product page. Price updates live as they adjust. Asset availability blocks the full selected window.

Can guests book a custom number of hours — not just the options I set?
No. Guests choose from the duration options you configure. If you want to allow any number of hours, set your increments at 1-hour intervals.
Does availability checking account for buffer time between charters?
Buffer/turnaround time between bookings is not yet a built-in setting. You can work around it by blocking manual hold times on assets, or by setting your available durations to end earlier than the vessel's actual availability window.
