Partners & Platform Sponsors

Help power a captain-first marketplace.

iCharter is building the modern discovery layer for fishing charters and guides—using AI to match customers to the best-fit experience. We’re inviting a small set of launch partners to sponsor markets, support captains, and reach high-intent customers at the moment they’re planning a trip.

  • • Sponsor markets and show up in the “Top 3 match” journey
  • • Support captains and guides with perks, credits, and offers
  • • Align with a captain-first model (0% marketplace fee)
  • • Get aggregated demand insights (what anglers want, when, and where)

Early partners help us subsidize the platform for captains through sponsorships and advertising—while keeping the customer experience clean and high-trust.
