Challenges Facing the Industry

The 3 challenges of boat trips, and how TuriTop can help

Many venues, many channels, and fixed schedules that leave no room for error. Capacity management is a daily challenge.

Capacity and Channels

Sell the last seat without exceeding capacity

Our own website, ticket office, hotels, travel agencies, GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, and local resellers. Every channel wants bookings, and every minute it takes to synchronize them opens the door to overbooking. Without a system in place, the team has to check five different calendars before setting sail, and even then, there’s still one too many passengers on the dock.

How TuriTop Approaches It

  • Centralized capacity allocation; all seats are drawn from the same pool
  • Real-time synchronization with more than 70 channels and OTAs
  • Commission and visibility rules by channel and by product
Sea and Climate

Cancel due to rough seas without causing a box office slump

Strong winds, orange alert, low tide with rocks in the cave route. You make the decision when you open the port window, but manually notifying 42 passengers on the 10:00 a.m. departure means half the morning is wasted on the phone. And seats for the next departure go unsold without clear management.

How TuriTop Approaches It

  • Cancel the departure's bookings from the panel: each passenger gets their own email
  • Convert affected bookings into redeemable vouchers with configurable validity
  • Passengers can reschedule via email, without having to go to your ticket office
Check-in and Actual Capacity

Boarding 50 passengers without paper passenger lists

The team has 15 minutes before setting sail. Using a paper list, they go through the pages looking for names; two identical bookings turn up, and one family insists they paid but isn't listed. The line grows, the departure is delayed, and the Google review drops one star for "organization."

How TuriTop Approaches It

  • QR Code Mobile Check-In App: Instant Validation
  • Actual boarding capacity breakdown: paid, pending, no-shows
  • Passenger list in the check-in app, exportable to Google Sheets

Key Features

Designed for capacity, channels and check-in

Capacity per exit

Each departure has its own actual capacity per boat. Adults, children, infants, residents, and groups all share the same quota. When the quota is reached, check-out closes on all channels at the same time.

Regular departures according to the schedule

You set up the weekly schedule once: morning, noon, afternoon, and sunset, with their assigned boats. Duplicate the pattern per product and adjust it per season when it changes.

Multi-channel without double booking

Website, ticket office, hotels, local agencies, and OTAs (GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, and 55+ other channels). All seats are drawn from the same pool in real time.

Check-in via the mobile app

Your team scans the voucher's QR code at the dock. The passenger's information, extras, payment details, and ticket type appear. Fast boarding, paperless, and an instant, accurate manifest.

Different Ticket Types and Extras

Adult, junior, child, infant, resident, group. Extras such as snorkeling gear, meals, photos, and transportation. Prices and availability vary by category; capacity is shared for each departure.

Automatic Confirmations

Voucher with the exact port, dock, boarding time (arrive 20 minutes early), what to bring, cancellation policy, and weather forecast. Fewer calls to the ticket office.

Frequently Asked Questions

What boat tour companies ask us

How do you ensure that no more tickets are sold than the boat's capacity?

Each boat has its actual capacity on record (for example, 50 seats). Each departure is set up using that boat and inherits its capacity. When the website, ticket office, hotels, and OTAs collectively reach 50 seats sold, TuriTop closes checkout across all channels at the same time. There is no overbooking, even if three bookings are made in the same second.

Can regular departures be set up just once?

Yes. You set up the weekly pattern (for example: Monday through Sunday, departures at 10:00 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 3:00 p.m., and 5:30 p.m. on the Neptuno) and duplicate that pattern per product. You can make exceptions (off-season, holidays, private charters) without changing the base pattern.

How does check-in work with the mobile app?

Your team opens the app on their phone or tablet at the dock. Select the departure and scan the QR code on the passenger’s voucher. Their details will appear, including ticket type, purchased extras, payment status, and notes. Mark them as checked in with a tap. The boarding list updates in real time: you’ll know how many have boarded, how many are still to board, and how many are no-shows—all without using paper.

What happens if I cancel a trip due to rough seas or wind?

You cancel that trip's bookings from the panel and each passenger gets their email from your own domain. Affected bookings are converted into vouchers redeemable (validity is configurable), with a code that passengers can use to reschedule via email. The day’s revenue is not refunded; it is carried over to a future date with favorable terms.

How do I set different prices for adults, children, infants, and residents?

Create a separate product per fare: 'Adult', 'Child', 'Infant', 'Canary Islands Resident', etc. Each with its own price. The customer picks the fare that applies when booking. Residents upload a copy of the certificate as a custom field if you request it; you verify it visually at boarding. All ticket types share the same capacity (a child takes a seat just like an adult).

How do I connect with GetYourGuide, Viator, Civitatis, and local agencies?

TuriTop is a channel manager: it connects to more than 70 channels (international OTAs and local agencies), synchronizing availability in real time. You can sell on your website and through OTAs at the same time without ghost seats. You can activate each channel on a per-product basis, set the commission rate, and see which channel drives the most occupancy in the reports.
