About
From one of the first fishing booking systems to today’s full-service solutions.
BlueClaw has always been rooted in the water. What began in 2004 as one of the earliest online booking tools for fishing charters has grown into a full platform for captains and tour operators. While most of the industry was still relying on phone calls and paper calendars, we were already helping crews manage trips, guests, and schedules online.
Over the years, that early start built more than just software — it built trust. Many of the captains who first came aboard are still with us today, proof that lasting relationships matter more than quick wins.
Our journey has taken different shapes. Under the BrightCalendar name, we expanded into tourism, hospitality, and service industries around the world, refining the very tools that charter operators use today. Those years weren’t a pause — they were an evolution.
Now, two decades later, BlueClaw returns to its original waters. Backed by modern WordPress design, SEO expertise, and commission-free booking systems, we’re here again for captains and tour operators who want reliable websites, stronger visibility, and tools built to last.
