About

Built by a fisherman, for fishing captains.

Shipmate is the smart inbox that books more charter trips. It replies to every customer message in your voice, fills the calendar, takes the deposit. You stay on the water.

Why Shipmate exists

Charter captains run a business that nobody else really understands. You take strangers offshore, you read the weather, you skipper the boat, you fillet the catch. Then you come back to a hundred unread messages across Instagram, email, WhatsApp, and SMS. Most of those messages are the same five questions. The trip you missed booking was sitting in your inbox the whole time.

That is the problem Shipmate solves. One inbox for every channel. Replies drafted in your voice, in your customer's language, around the clock. A public booking page with your boats, your prices, your rules. Deposits straight to your bank. No commission, no marketplace, no middleman.

We work for the captain. Not for a booking platform.

The person behind it

I'm Miles. I'm a fisherman from Australia, now living in the Middle East. Shipmate started because I watched good captains lose trips to a buried inbox, week after week. The technology to fix it has been around for a while. Nobody had built it for charter operators.

Shipmate is a product of Envision Labs Ltd, registered in the United Kingdom. If you want to talk to me directly about anything, the boat you run, the channels you reply on, what you wish existed, email me at miles@shipmate.chat. I read every one.

What Shipmate is not

Not a booking marketplace. We do not list your boat on a directory, we do not take a cut of your trips, and we do not compete with the platforms you already use. Shipmate sits alongside your existing listings, your own website, your Instagram DMs, your Gmail. Bring your existing bookings in on day one. Keep the channels that work for you.

Not a generic AI chatbot. Shipmate is built specifically for the charter trip you actually run, with the boats you actually skipper and the fishery you actually target.
