The customer packet

One link with everything about their trip

For every booking you prepare a packet: a personal page for your customer with their boat, their marinas and dates, and everything you want them to know. You send it with one click, and they keep it on their phone all the way to the marina.

  • Your own notesCheck-in times, who to call, what to bring. Format them, and add links, pictures and videos.
  • Your documentsVouchers, check-in forms, crew lists and insurance terms, ready to open or print.
  • Prepared once, reusedDefault notes and documents start every new packet, and a packet duplicates for the next booking.
  • See it as they willOpen any packet as a test customer before you send it.

Itineraries

Ready-made routes, or your own

Each packet suggests itineraries that start from your customer's marina: day-by-day routes with distances, anchorages and harbours, which open on the map for the crew to explore and adjust.

  • Choose the routes that suit the boat and the crew for each packet.
  • Add your own itineraries, the ones you know best, and offer them to every customer.
  • The crew plans together, with the weather for each leg.

Local know-how

Everything they should know before they sail

  • Expected weather Forecasts for their dates, and the region's typical winds and sea state.
  • Sailing regulations Cruising permits and taxes, anchoring and marine-park rules in the region.
  • Drone regulations Where they may fly a drone, and what needs a permit.
  • Provisioning advice Where to shop near the marina, and what to stock for the days at sea.
