Velas – Yacht Club & Boat Rental WordPress Theme Overview
Velas is Bold Themes’ entry for the nautical trade — yacht clubs, boat and charter rental, sailing schools, marine sports clubs and water-based tourism. Six home pages are grouped into three demos, with two single-page variants alongside.
Content is assembled with Bold Builder, the author’s own drag-and-drop editor, working from the dashboard and offering front-end editing too. A Cost Calculator plugin is included so visitors can estimate what a charter or membership might cost, and Bold Timeline Lite is bundled for season schedules or club history.
Theme settings sit in the native WordPress Customizer, with per-page overrides where a section needs to differ. The importer produces a finished site in one step, after which you swap in your own material. Layouts are responsive and retina-ready, right-to-left text is supported, and multisite has been tested.

Who Velas – Yacht Club & Boat Rental WordPress Theme Is Suitable For
A membership club is where this one is strongest: a yacht or sailing club with a season calendar, a racing or social programme, a fleet to present and an estimator for berths, lessons or charters. Marine sports clubs share that shape.
Rental and charter fleets are served too, though the theme leans on enquiry and estimate rather than a booking engine, so budget for a booking plugin if you need live calendars. A sailing school can present courses, instructors and intake dates in the same structures.
Important Notes About Velas – Yacht Club & Boat Rental WordPress Theme
The changelog is not printed on the item page; it lives on the author’s documentation site, so check that file for the most recent release date rather than inferring anything from the listing. Content built with Bold Builder stays tied to it, worth weighing if you may move away later. Demo photography needs licensing separately. A countdown element is available: use it only for a real deadline, never to manufacture pressure.
If your crew takes the helm you are carrying passengers for hire, which sits under commercial vessel rules rather than those covering a boat handed to a competent renter; the site should be unambiguous about which you do. Instructor qualifications may only be advertised where genuinely held, and club membership terms, fees and refunds belong in writing. Publish frank risk and equipment guidance, waiver requirements and weather cancellation terms; nothing should imply the water is without hazard. This is the owner’s responsibility; AppiAppi does not provide legal advice.
Setup & Ongoing Management by AppiAppi
You choose Velas and buy the licence from BoldThemes on ThemeForest. AppiAppi installs it with Bold Builder and the bundled plugins, imports the demo nearest your operation, then rebuilds it around your club or fleet — identity, colours, vessel photography and content.
Boats, courses, memberships and events become structured entries with capacity, rates, dates and galleries, and the cost calculator uses your real price list. Enquiry forms reach a mailbox you read, and WPML adds a second language where it helps. After launch AppiAppi provides AI-assisted SEO and content support, updates the season calendar and pricing, runs theme and plugin maintenance with backups, and handles enquiries according to your subscription.
