  • Important information is spread across different tools and people
With Viking
  • Students book from your real-time availability
  • Viking helps keep instructors, lesson types and group sizes aligned
  • Customers are notified and can reschedule themselves
  • Your team works from the same up-to-date information

Built in our own watersports school

Viking Bookings started in our own watersports school in the Netherlands. As the school got busier, we found ourselves spending more and more time on bookings, schedules, customer questions and daily changes.

So we built a system with a team of developers to take that work off our hands. What started as a solution for our own school is now used by watersports businesses around the world.

See how much planning
Viking can take off your plate

A personal demo,
built around your center

  • Save time, get structured and sell more

  • You'll receive personal support along the way

FROM 8 HOURS A DAY TO JUST 2
'Answering calls and e-mails for at least 8 hours a day used to drive us crazy. Now with Viking, we have reduced this to 2 hours. Students schedule their lessons themselves!’

Viking brings those moving parts together in one sailing school booking and management system. Students can book and pay online based on real-time availability, while your team keeps control of instructors, schedules and customer communication.

More than an online booking system

From private lessons and multi-day courses to instructor planning and weather-related rescheduling, Viking is built around the work sailing schools deal with every day. Customers can manage more themselves, while your team keeps the overview in one place.
