Online Booking Software For Boat Tour Operators

Yes, you can definitely see your boat rental schedules on a weekly view in WaveRez. In addition, you can see a daily and month view of your availability and bookings. Our weekly view also gives users the ability to click a trip and start a new booking without having to check availability first.

Yes. If you need to move a reservation from one piece of equipment to another, it only takes a few clicks. This is especially useful when a boat or rental unit unexpectedly needs maintenance. Instead of manually updating multiple parts of the reservation, you can quickly transfer the trip to another available vessel. Once the reservation has been moved, you can immediately place the original equipment into maintenance, preventing any new bookings until it’s back in service.

Yes, WaveRez has integrations with Viator, TripShock and Get Your Guide and your schedules will sync seamlessly with its API integration. There is no additional charge to setting this up, but OTAs do have commission fees when a booking is fulfilled.

Yes, WaveRez’s mobile web app lets you manage your rental operation from anywhere. You can quickly enable or disable schedules, adjust pricing, place equipment into maintenance, create new reservations, and leave internal notes, all from the convenient daily matrix view.

Yes, you can set cut off times on your schedules from a range of 30 min to 18 hours. WaveRez also has a feature where your cut off can be removed from a trip once you get a booking. When the cut off begins, the customers are offered a “call to book” option.

WaveRez does not currently offer automatic syncing with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar because of the complexity involved in keeping booking changes synchronized reliably. However, every booking notification email includes a one click option to add the trip directly to your Google Calendar. Many operators actually prefer this approach because it gives them the opportunity to review the booking before adding it to their calendar, along with adding notes, assigning crew members, and including any other trip specific details that help with daily operations.

Yes, WaveRez can limit the amount of boats to be rented for each schedule time. This is a simple change that can be made on the matrix view, or can be defaulted so every departure time for every day has a strict limit. This is a good feature to make sure the crew isn’t overwhelmed with too many departures at a certain time.

Yes, WaveRez makes it easy to open additional rental availability at any time using the Daily Matrix View. With a simple toggle, you can instantly make a time slot available for booking. Once enabled, the new availability is immediately visible to customers booking on your website as well as through connected reseller channels, helping you fill last minute openings and maximize bookings.

Yes, WaveRez allows you to set different prices based on the departure time for both ticketed activities and rental offerings. Pricing can be adjusted manually on a day by day basis using the matrix calendar, or you can use Calendar Controls to automatically apply pricing rules across specific date ranges. This makes it easy to implement seasonal pricing, peak hour rates, or special promotions without updating each schedule individually.

Yes, the software allows for buffers in between each reservation so crew has time to prepare for the next renter. These buffers can be set based on your preference. For jet skis, the buffers are typically 10-15 minutes, but boats are 20-30 minutes.
