Knowledge hub for Boat Tour Companies

Run your boat tour company with tools built for your routes, vessels and guests

Describe what you need and turn it into working software. Build online bookings with availability by vessel, collect waivers, generate passenger manifests, assign crew, manage charters and pricing, and run dock-side check-in — all shaped around your operation.

Start with the basics

Build the tools your boat tours actually need

Running boat tours means juggling schedules, tides and weather, vessel capacity, mixed pricing, safety compliance and crew — often across spreadsheets, email threads and generic booking sites.

Use YeshBe to build custom tools around the way you run trips. Create a booking system with seat inventory per vessel and pricing tiers, a manifest and waiver flow, dock check-in, a charter quoting pipeline with proposal and deposit tracking, and an operations dashboard that shows today’s departures, crew assignments, vessel status and notes. Add maintenance logs for engine hours and safety inspections, and build reports on occupancy, revenue by tour and channel performance — all tailored to how your boats actually operate.

  • Online bookings & availabilityBuild a booking experience with time slots, seat limits by vessel, pricing tiers and add-ons.
  • Passenger manifests & waiversCollect guest details and signatures, generate manifests per departure, and run fast dock-side check-in.
  • Vessel, crew & maintenanceCreate tools for crew assignments, engine-hour logs, safety checks and certification reminders.
  • Charters, groups & resellersManage private charter quotes, group holds, voucher redemption and channel allocations.

  1. Boat tour booking & availability system

    Let guests book specific departures, with seat limits per vessel, pricing tiers and add-ons.

    Prompt

    Build an online booking system for my boat tour company. Public pages should list tours with photos, descriptions, duration, departure location and a calendar of available dates and times. Show live seat availability per departure based on the assigned vessel capacity. Include pricing tiers (adult, child, infant, senior) and optional add-ons. Collect customer name, email and phone, capture guest count by tier, calculate totals and send a confirmation with meeting instructions. Provide a staff dashboard to create tours, set recurring schedules, assign vessels, block dates, adjust capacity, manage cancellations and maintain a waitlist.

  2. Passenger manifest & dock check-in app

    Generate per-departure manifests, collect waivers and speed up boarding with mobile check-in.

    Prompt

    Build a passenger manifest and dock check-in app. For each departure, generate a manifest with passenger names, ages, contact and emergency contact. Include a digital waiver that guests can sign online or at the dock. Give staff a mobile-friendly check-in screen with search and QR code check-in, automatically updating remaining seats. Allow exporting manifests to PDF/CSV and flag missing waivers or over-capacity before departure.

  3. Private charter quote-to-booking pipeline

    Capture inquiries, price by vessel/season/duration, send proposals and track deposits.

    Prompt

    Build a private charter quote-to-booking pipeline. Start with an intake form capturing date range, preferred times, guest count, occasion, route preferences, food and beverage options and special requests. Add a pricing estimator by vessel, season and duration, then generate a proposal with line items and terms. Let staff send the proposal, track status (new, sent, accepted, booked), record a deposit amount and hold a vessel on the calendar. When accepted, convert it into a booking with tasks for crew and catering.

  4. Operations dashboard & maintenance log

    See today’s departures, crew assignments and vessel status, with maintenance tracking.

    Prompt

    Build an operations dashboard and maintenance log for my boat tours. Show today's departures with vessel, captain and crew assignments, remaining seats, notes and weather/tide fields. Let staff drag-and-drop crew assignments and mark trips as boarded, departed and returned. For each vessel, track engine hours, fuel, maintenance tasks, safety equipment checks and certification expirations, with reminders and a simple report of upcoming work.

Questions and answers

Can I build a booking system that handles vessel capacity, pricing tiers and add-ons?

Yes. You can define vessels and capacities, set pricing by passenger type, add optional extras and control availability on your own schedule.

How can I manage passenger waivers and manifests?

Build a waiver form tied to each booking, collect signatures, generate a per-departure manifest and use a dock-side check-in screen. You can also export the manifest.
