Free Starter · Human review · Tampa Bay founding launch

Meet people who already wrote the goal

Bucketlist Connect is where people save real adventures — kayak the mangroves, see dolphins, try parasailing, book a charter — then connect with approved local operators. Tampa Bay water and outdoor providers are our founding cohort. Starter is free: list services, see matching goals, and answer inbound messages. Reach out first with Professional.

No ad buy required to join. We do not guarantee lead volume — founding partners get early placement while we grow local demand.

Matching and inquiries

How demand reaches you

Discovery uses profile, service, category, location, and relevance signals. We do not promise guaranteed lead volume, rankings, revenue, or exclusive territories.

Users create goals

Members add bucket list goals with category, location, and timing — and can opt into partner discovery.

You publish services

After human review, list services by category and area so relevance matching can surface you.

Matching feed shows demand

Relevant discovery-enabled goals appear in your partner matching feed. Check the feed regularly — new-match push alerts are not live yet.

Messages both ways

Users can message you on every plan (you reply). Professional+ can introduce yourself first from a match. Booking stays on your site, FareHarbor, or phone.

Approval required

What the application asks for

Admin review protects users and keeps the partner directory focused on businesses that can help people fulfill bucket list goals. Applications may be rejected if they are irrelevant, incomplete, unsafe, spammy, or not aligned with the marketplace.

  • Business identity and contact information
  • Service categories, service areas, and business description
  • Website or other public proof of business where available
  • Admin approval before partner dashboard and services are enabled
