# Boat Tour Booking & Reservation Software

Sell boat tour tickets online, manage departure reservations and share boarding instructions with TicketingHub’s booking software for boat tour operators.

Help guests choose a boat tour and reserve their places before they reach the dock. TicketingHub supports online reservations, scheduled availability, payments and booking communications for sightseeing and excursion operators.

## Departure times and passenger places

Offer dates, departure times and ticket categories that reflect your sailing schedule. Explain tour duration, boarding location and what the fare includes. Test how adult, child and other ticket types consume available places before opening a departure for sale.

## Shared boats and private charters

If public tours and private charters use the same boat, demonstrate the availability rules with your own schedule. Confirm how an exclusive booking affects other departures, including turnaround time. Ask to see your pricing, group limits and any special payment arrangements in a demo.

## Online booking on your own website

Add TicketingHub’s mobile-friendly widget so guests can choose a sailing and pay online. Make ticket prices, accessibility information, cancellation terms and optional extras clear before checkout. Show any separate charges alongside the experience description.

## Boarding instructions and passenger details

Use confirmations and configured reminders to share the pier, check-in time and contact details. Collect the information your team needs to prepare each reservation. Demonstrate your departure list, ticket checks and late-arrival process with the staff at the boarding point.

## Dockside sales and supported partners

Coordinate website reservations with supported point-of-sale tools for walk-in sales. For resellers and online travel marketplaces, confirm product mapping, capacity updates and cancellation handling. Test connectivity and the devices your team will use at the dock.

## Weather cancellations and eligible changes

Publish a clear policy for weather disruption, changed routes, alternative dates and refunds. The operating team decides whether a sailing runs. Magic Link can offer eligible self-service changes according to product settings and deadlines; explain when guests need staff assistance.

## Tour booking reports and operational systems

Use booking and sales reports to review demand and prepare for departures. Confirm any requirements for assigned seating, regulated passenger manifests, vessel maintenance or specialist marine systems separately. Match the reservation setup to your actual operating process.

## How much does boat tour booking software cost?

TicketingHub lists a 3% fee per successful online, OTA or card-paid in-person booking, with cash sales free and no monthly or setup fee. You can absorb the booking fee or pass it to guests. Payment processing charges and marketplace commissions are separate. Confirm your payment setup and any additional services in your quote.

## Can we sell a private charter and public tickets?

Bring one public sailing and one private charter to a demo. Check price presentation, shared boat availability, the organiser’s confirmation and staff booking details. Confirm that the setup handles your turnaround times and charter rules before launch.

## Prepare your boat tour booking setup

Bring your timetable, ticket categories, boat limits and weather policy to a TicketingHub demo. Test a mobile booking through payment, boarding preparation and an eligible date change.
