Kayakbryggan is an activity company run by Peter and Anton - father and son. Their goal is to make the west coast more accessible to discover from the water by kayak and pedal boat. Thanks to Rentalbuddy, this is possible, with the help of a booking system that made it easy for them to run a business for unmanned rental of kayaks, among other things.

What does Kajakbryggan use Rentalbuddy's booking system for?
On the northwest Tjörn in Björholmen's Marina, Kayakbryggan has an unmanned station for renting kayaks and pedal boats . Collection and delivery of the craft is done by the customers themselves, which means that the Kayak Jetty does not need to have its own staff on site. All rentals are made through Rentalbuddy's booking system, which is developed specifically for unmanned rentals.
In Björholmen's Marina, customers can enjoy a trip on the sea whenever they want with Kayakbryggan's kayaks and pedal boats. The booking is made easily through Kajakbryggan's own website, where customers select time and then products. Using the information in the confirmation email, the customer can easily unlock the digital locks and get out to sea. Once out on the water, they can discover the nature reserve Stigfjorden's elongated rocky islands, coastal meadows and fertile valleys - whenever and for as long as they wish.

The kayak jetty started using Rentalbuddy's booking system for renting kayaks and pedal boats in Björholmen's Marina in 2024. Since the rental site is unmanned, a booking system that worked and was adapted just for that was also required. Rentalbuddy focuses on the unmanned rental and wants to make it easier for the lessors who require a simple and flexible solution for self-service. At the time of this article's publication, the kayak jetty rents 12 kayaks (single kayaks and double kayaks) and two pedal boats using our booking system.
