Why Broad Reach

Three reasons centres
switch and never look back

Built for how sailing schools actually operate — not shoehorned from a generic booking tool.

⏱️ More Time

One booking. Eleven automatic actions.

Here's what happens the moment a student books a course on your site. You don't lift a finger.

Training Pathways

Define structured progression routes — Competent Crew → Day Skipper → Coastal → Yachtmaster. Students see their progress. You see who's ready for the next course.

🤖

Automated Marketing Sequences

After they complete a course, a timed email sequence promotes the next step — personalised, branded, hands-free. Convert more completions into repeat bookings.

🎁

Packages & Bundles

Sell multi-course packages at a bundled price. Students commit upfront, you lock in revenue. Open-date items let them choose dates later.

👤

Full Client Profiles

Every student has a complete profile — booking history, certifications, medical info, communication log. Know your students by name, not by spreadsheet row.

✨ More Simple

Stop paying for five tools that don't talk to each other

Most centres cobble together a booking tool, a CRM, an email platform, a waiver app, and a spreadsheet for certifications. With Broad Reach, everything lives in one place — and everything connects.
