Because Instant Book minimizes messaging, it’s important for you to [keep your calendar up-to-date](https://support.boatsetter.com/en_us/updating-your-calendar-B1CM81s3j). * When your vessel is instant booked, payment is collected at the time of booking and the trip goes into the approved state. This means you will not be prompted to approve or decline the booking; it is automatically approved. * The Instant Book lightning bolt icon will appear on your listing, so you will stand out among the search results for renters. * If you turn on Instant Book, your listing will be surfaced higher in search results. * Instant Book can be enabled or disabled at any time. ## **To enable Instant Book** To enable Instant Book, _you must have at least one concluded booking_.
