Challenges Facing the Industry
The 5 challenges of yacht charter. And how TuriTop can help
A good charter operator is, above all, a fleet manager. If your booking system integrates with your platforms, blocks out realistic time slots, and filters which customers are assigned to which boats, your business will scale. If you manage this with Excel, it will consume you.
The fleet as a clockwork mechanism
Every day a boat doesn't sail, it loses money (dock fees, insurance, depreciation). Maintenance has to be precise: tune-ups should be scheduled to avoid peak periods. If a boat breaks down on Friday afternoon, you've lost the entire weekend.
How TuriTop Helps You (Partially)
- Each boat is a separate service. Block maintenance windows to prevent double bookings.
- TuriTop reports & analytics: bookings, revenue and departures by day, service and channel
- If a boat is taken out of service, convert the affected bookings into gift vouchers with configurable validity
- To be honest: TuriTop doesn't check or report engine hours. That's still up to you.
The Chaos of Multichannel Bookings
You sell through your website, boating platforms, in-person agencies, and over the phone. Without a system that syncs in real time, overbooking is inevitable: the same boat being sold twice for the same day. Human error is unavoidable without centralization.
How TuriTop Can Help You
- Channel Manager syncing with +70 OTAs (Manawa, Ferryhopper, GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, Tiqets)
- Public API (Pro+) to connect with your agency or broker. You have a single inventory
- Automatic closure upon confirmation of a booking through any channel
- Manual bookings made by phone are entered in the same panel. No separate Excel file is required.
The turnaround that no one times
Between rentals, you have to unload, clean, refuel, perform safety checks, and sometimes make quick repairs. If the duration you declare only covers the sailing, the skipper and the crew live at their limit. And the next customer notices.
How TuriTop Can Help You
- Resource Manager: put the turnaround inside the rental duration
- The boat stays taken for the whole duration. That window is not for sale.
- Mobile check-in app to confirm boarding for the next group using a QR code
- Data by boat and by shift: see which boats turn the fastest
Protecting the Asset: Which Boat for Which Client
A high-end yacht in the hands of an inexperienced bareboat charterer is an insurable risk that can prove costly. The booking system must request the correct information to ensure that the most expensive asset does not end up with the least prepared customer.
How TuriTop Can Help You
- Each boat is a separate service with its own terms and conditions, price, and required information
- Required customer information when booking (PER certification, prior experience)
- Permissions by User and Role for Your Sales Team
- Gift cards are with configurable validity if the customer does not redeem them by the requested date
Weather-driven last-minute volatility
If the forecast calls for bad weather within 48 hours of departure, the trip may have to be canceled. If your system doesn't handle the conversion to a credit, the owner spends the whole day on the phone. And managing changes takes up 80% of the workday.
How TuriTop Helps You (Partially)
- Gift cards are redeemable (validity is configurable). The sale is postponed; it is not lost.
- Automatic emails from your own domain with the decision + the bonus
- Customer-Initiated Changes: Select a New Date from the Email
- To be honest: TuriTop doesn't monitor the weather report. The decision to cancel is up to you.
Key Features
Designed to manage a fleet
Multi-fleet with profiles by vessel
Configure each boat by class (sailboat, catamaran, motorboat, yacht), length, capacity, and suitable customer profile: must have a skipper, bareboat, required certification. The system filters who can book each boat.
Real-time multi-channel synchronization
Sell on your website and on +70 OTAs (Manawa, Ferryhopper, Navega en Barco, GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis and more) with a single synced calendar. When someone books on one platform, the rest lock automatically. Goodbye overbooking.
Turnaround Between Rentals
Set the required time between runs (60, 90, or 120 minutes) for cleaning, refueling, and safety checks. TuriTop automatically locks it. Your captain arrives with the list in the app, not with a stopwatch in hand.
Cancellation Due to Weather Without Losing the Sale
When the forecast forces you to cancel, you convert the booking into a gift certificate with configurable validity, send an automated email from your own domain, and the customer chooses a new date via that email. The sale isn't lost—it's just postponed.
Your open-top charter
More departures. Fewer overbookings. More automated check-in.
TuriTop takes the hassle out of WhatsApp with all those separate channels, the separate Excel spreadsheets for each OTA, the back-and-forth confirmation on Friday afternoons, and the call from the guest who can’t remember if they booked with or without a meal plan. You have a single inventory, synchronized in real time, with the turnaround inside the duration. And you can focus your energy on the one thing that can’t be delegated: the fleet.
Your job is the fleet. Ours is to make sure the office stops being a bottleneck.
One inventory, all channels
Your website, the nautical OTAs, and the agency. The same calendar
When a booking is confirmed through any channel, the rest are automatically blocked. No need for a separate Excel spreadsheet, no manual double-entry, and no more nightmares of the same boat being sold twice for the same day. A single inventory, synchronized in real time.
- Sync with +70 OTAs (Manawa, Ferryhopper, GetYourGuide, Viator…)
- Automatic closure when a boat is reserved on any channel
- Public API (Pro+) to connect with your agency or broker
- Your website sells 24/7 with the embedded widget (no plugin required)
- Your website Última: 2 min
- Manawa Última: 5 min
- Ferryhopper Última: 8 min
- GetYourGuide Última: 11 min
- Local agency Última: 1 h
Confirmed booking on any channel → instant cancellation on all others.
The time between two customers
The turnaround, inside the duration
Cleaning, refueling, safety checks, minor repairs. All of that is real work that needs its window. Declare the rental duration with that time inside it (60, 90 or 120 minutes, whatever you decide) and the boat stays taken as a resource until it is over. That spot isn't for sale. Your boss arrives with the list for the next group open, not with a stopwatch in hand.
- Duration per boat includes the turnaround (60, 90, 120 min)
- Automatic lockout between transactions. The system does not sell that slot.
- QR code validation via the mobile app when the next group boards
- Data by boat: trips operated, hours on the water, shifts per shift
Protect your most valuable asset
Rules for Boats: To Keep Your Yacht from Falling into the Wrong Hands
The booking widget automatically filters the results: customers only see the boats that meet their criteria. And when they book, it asks for the required information (PER certification, prior experience, captain's contact information). The most valuable asset is no longer dependent on phone calls.
- Create each vessel as a separate service with its own terms and conditions
- Required customer information when booking (qualifications, experience)
- Permissions by User and Role for Your Sales Team
- Per-boat pricing aligns with the responsibility of the asset
- Premium Estrella 50 Yacht Yate · 50 ft
Professional licence required
- Licence Sol 42 Catamaran Catamaran · 42 ft
Bareboat with a PER licence
- Open Brisa 24 Motorboat Motorboat · 24 ft
No licence · coastal area

Why TuriTop
The system that understands a fleet
TuriTop isn't a generic platform: it's built for yacht charter operators. Per-vessel capacity, per-boat calendar, sync with nautical and general OTAs, payment gateways (Stripe, PayPal, Redsys) and QR-code check-in app. What a charter needs to manage five boats on an August weekend with three sales channels without the phone destroying you.
Sell on +70 OTAs, nautical and general
Sync with Manawa, Ferryhopper, Navega en Barco, GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, Tiqets, and local platforms. No overbooking. No parallel Excel.
The boss, with the list in his hand
Your captain opens the app and sees the list for the day: passengers, emergency contacts, allergies, and certifications. A good skipper needs the context of the group, not to fill out manifests by hand. QR code validation, paperless.
Data by ship and by channel
Every booking records the vessel, channel of origin and route. Export to Google Sheets to see which vessel fills up most, which channel brings the most bookings and which customers come back (by email). Data-Driven Decisions by Ship. Not with the way I feel after a long weekend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions We Get from Charter Operators
What types of boats can I manage with TuriTop?
Sailboats, catamarans, motorboats, yachts, gulets, RIBs, jet skis, and traditional boats. Both charter options with a skipper (captain included) and bareboat charters (without a skipper), available by the hour, half-day, full day, multi-day, and weekly. Regular departures at set times or custom private bookings.
How do I avoid overbooking when I sell on multiple platforms at the same time?
TuriTop's Channel Manager syncs availability in real time between your website and +70 OTAs (including Manawa, Ferryhopper, Navega en Barco, GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, Tiqets, Musement and local platforms). When a booking is confirmed on any channel, that slot is automatically blocked on the rest. Including walk-in bookings you enter manually. Overbooking stops depending on human error.
Can I set different turnaround times for each ship?
There is no separate turnaround field: it goes inside the rental duration. If the trip is 4 h and you need 90 minutes to unload, clean and refuel, you set 5 h 30. The boat is a resource, so it stays taken for all of that time and that slot is not available for sale. Your captain authorizes the next group’s boarding by scanning the QR code on their ticket using the mobile check-in app.
How do I manage the maintenance schedule without losing sales?
Each boat is set up as a separate service, so you can block off time slots for engine maintenance, dry docking, or inspections. The system does not show them as available on any channel. If a boat unexpectedly goes out of service, convert the affected bookings into gift vouchers with configurable validity so the customer can choose another date.
Can I ask the customer for their degree information when they make a booking?
Yes. For each boat, you define its commercial profile: charter with a skipper (captain included in the price), bareboat (requires a PER certification), or no certification required (limited to coastal waters). When making a booking, you require certification and experience details as mandatory fields. Although you decide who is eligible, you ensure that you have all the information before the day of departure.
How are cancellations due to bad weather handled?
When you decide to cancel a trip due to adverse weather forecasts, you can convert the booking into a gift certificate redeemable (validity is configurable) with just a couple of clicks, and an automatic email is sent from your own domain to the customer with the decision and the code. The customer selects a new date from their email using the customer-managed change feature. The sale isn’t lost—it’s simply postponed. You make the weather-related decision; what TuriTop automates is the communication process and the conversion to a gift certificate.
Can I collect the deposit and the balance on the day of departure?
Yes. Set up a partial payment at the time of booking (typically 30% as a deposit), then send the balance payment link from the dashboard a few days before departure. The customer pays without phone calls and without giving card details.
