For boat tour and cruise operators

    Boat Tour Booking Software

    Sell seats per sailing, cap by vessel capacity, and cancel weather days without a phone marathon.

    No monthly platform fee — a 1.5% online booking fee on online bookings.

    What breaks first for boat tour and cruise operators

    Every vessel has a different capacity, so one shared calendar always overbooks something.

    Weather cancellations mean calling every guest individually.

    Manifests for the Coast Guard get rebuilt by hand before each sailing.

    Built for how boat tour and cruise operators actually operate

    Per-vessel capacity

    Each boat carries its own capacity, crew, and dock. Availability is calculated from the vessel actually assigned to the sailing.

    One-click weather cancellation

    Cancel a sailing and every guest gets notified, refunded or rebooked automatically — no call list.

    Printable passenger manifest

    A live manifest per sailing with guest counts, contact numbers, and signed waivers, ready to print or open on a phone at the dock.

    Everything else that comes with it

    Real-time availability everywhere

    Website widget, phone bookings, kiosk, and partner channels all read and write the same live inventory.

    Payments without an OTA cut

    Take cards directly through Stripe at a 1.5% online booking fee. No per-booking commission on direct sales.

    Digital waivers included

    Waiver Hog waivers are built in, sent with confirmations, and tracked per guest on the manifest.

    Automated guest messaging

    Confirmations, reminders, follow-ups, and review requests fire automatically by email and SMS.

    Staff scheduling and manifests

    Assign staff, publish shifts, and hand every team member a live manifest on their phone.

    Reporting you can act on

    Revenue, occupancy, channel mix, and refunds in one place, exportable whenever you need it.

    Boat Tour Booking Software: common questions

    Can I run different boats with different capacities?

    Yes. Vessels are tracked as resources with their own capacity, and a sailing's availability comes from the boat assigned to it.

    How do refunds work when weather cancels a trip?

    Cancelling a sailing triggers your chosen policy for every booking on it — full refund, credit, or rebooking link — and sends the notification automatically.

    How much does Booking Hog cost?

    Booking Hog charges a 1.5% online booking fee on online bookings. There is no monthly platform fee and no OTA-style commission on your direct sales.

    Can I take bookings on my own website?

    Yes. An embeddable widget drops the full booking flow into any website, and a hosted storefront is available if you do not have one.

    How long does setup take?

    Most operators are live in a day. You build your products, set availability rules, connect Stripe, and paste in the widget.
