The problem

Your departures fill up in four different places.

Walk-ups, phone calls, DMs, and an OTA listing all sell the same 40 seats. Then someone counts heads on the gangway and hopes the math works.

  • Seats sold in four places at once
  • Overselling a sunset departure on a holiday
  • Paper tickets and hand-counted headcounts
  • Arrival instructions typed out one by one
  • Weather cancellations phoned down a list
  • No load-factor number for any time slot
What changes

One system for tours & cruises

For dolphin cruises, sunset sails, snorkel trips, and sightseeing tours that sell by the seat. Publish recurring departures, sell tickets online with real capacity, and board a full boat in minutes.

01

Ticketing by the seat

Adult, child, and senior pricing with real remaining capacity per departure, so you never oversell a boat.

02

Recurring departures

Build a weekly schedule of departures once, then override single dates for weather, private hires, or closures.

03

QR boarding passes

Guests get a QR code at purchase and you scan them aboard from your phone in seconds.

04

Manifests without paperwork

Every departure carries a passenger list with headcount, names, and waiver status.

05

Group and private bookings

Handle a family of five and a 40-person school group with the same flow and the same calendar.

06

Automatic reminders

Confirmations, arrival instructions, and reminders go out on their own instead of from your phone.

07

Weather cancellations, handled

Cancel a departure and notify every ticket holder at once, then rebook or refund from the same screen.

08

Multiple boats and docks

Run several vessels and departure points from one login, all on one shared schedule.

09

That's approximately $1,167 per month.

At $200,000 a year, every 1% in fees = $2,000/year

Questions

Tours & cruises, answered straight.

I'm already on another booking system. Is switching a pain?

Not for you. We handle the migration: we import your customers and past bookings, rebuild your departures, ticket types, and capacities, move your payment setup over, test it, and train you by phone. You send us your information and keep selling seats.

Can I sell different ticket types on one departure?

Yes. Adult, child, senior, and group rates all sell against the same capacity for that departure.

How do recurring departures work?

Build the weekly pattern once, then override individual dates for weather, private hires, or holidays without rebuilding the schedule.

What happens if I cancel a departure?

Cancel it in your dashboard and every ticket holder is notified, then refund or move them to another departure.

Can guests book from their phone?

Yes. Booking pages are mobile-first, so most guests buy from the parking lot or the beach chair.
