Boat Tour Booking Software: A Complete Guide

Yes, TuriTop charges a transaction fee on online bookings that varies depending on the plan you’ve signed up for: **2% for Starter (€29/month)**, **1% on the Pro plan (€99/month)**, and **0.75% on the Enterprise plan (€299/month)**. Offline bookings (entered manually from the back office without online payment) have **a 0% commission on all plans**. The customer’s payment goes directly to the operator’s bank account through the configured payment gateway (Stripe, Redsys, Bizum, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay). TuriTop does not process the funds—it only charges its monthly subscription fee plus the corresponding transaction fee.

TuriTop connects in real time with more than 55 distribution channels (OTAs) and the leading international OTAs, including Viator, GetYourGuide, Civitatis, Manawa, Ferryhopper, Musement, Tiqets, Headout, and Booking.com. Availability is automatically synchronized: when a booking is made on any channel, all others are updated immediately to prevent overbooking. There’s no need to manually update each channel or manage availability separately.

Yes. For each confirmed booking, TuriTop automatically generates a passenger list using the information collected in the customized booking form. The list can be exported as a PDF or CSV file and may include full name, ID or passport number, phone number, age, experience level, allergies, or other fields defined by the operator. It is designed to facilitate access control for water sports activities and compliance with applicable Spanish regulations.

TuriTop includes a resource management system that automatically blocks availability when a resource (boat, vessel, captain) is assigned to a confirmed booking. If the same catamaran can be used for both a private charter and a shared tour during the same time slot, the system prevents both from being sold simultaneously. Availability is updated in real time across all connected channels: the company’s own website, OTAs, and the back-office system.

TuriTop operates on a monthly subscription model plus a transaction fee on online bookings: **Starter €29/month + 2%**, **Pro: €99/month + 1%** (the most popular plan, includes WooCommerce and advanced features), **Enterprise: €299/month + 0.75%** (with API, webhooks, a dedicated account manager, and priority support). Offline bookings entered through the back office incur **0% commission on all plans**. There’s a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. Updated pricing is available at /turitop-pricing.

Yes. TuriTop offers a mobile app for Android and iOS that allows users to scan the QR codes on booking tickets and validate passenger access at the time of boarding. The operator can view the daily schedule, mark passenger attendance, and monitor capacity directly from the port or the beach, without printing lists or relying on a constant internet connection.

The TuriTop support team provides assistance in Spanish. Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Canary Islands time) via email, support tickets, and phone. On weekends and holidays, we also offer support via email and support tickets, even outside of regular business hours. Support is provided by real people, not automated systems. The typical response time during business hours is less than 2 hours. TuriTop is a Spanish company based in the Canary Islands, which ensures the same time zone and language as most tour operators in Spain, the Canary Islands, and Latin America.

Yes. TuriTop integrates with any website via a booking button or an embedded widget that can be customized with the operator’s brand colors. It is compatible with WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, and any platform that allows code insertion. Customers make their bookings directly on the operator’s website, without being redirected to an external platform, which improves the user experience and the direct conversion rate.
