The three Monday-morning headaches we optimize away. If you run a sailing business, you've probably had all three this quarter.
One call to reschedule turns into ten. TripStub reschedules a whole sailing in a tap — guests get a new time, a refund option, or a voucher, and your ops team goes home.
No gate, no printer. Crew scans confirmation numbers or waves a QR from the pier. Works offline and syncs when you're back in cell range.
Commission from Viator plus a SaaS subscription plus per-booking fees. TripStub is $0 and lets you keep the distribution but not the tax.
"Stop the OTA commission bleed. Make weather cancellation a single action. Make dock-side check-in work without a printer. The sailing operator brief, in three sentences."

Every feature below is in the free plan. No 'enterprise tier' that gates the capability you need once you start growing.
Capacity by seat-type
Adults, kids, crew seats, charter-exclusive — price and bookable capacity per tier per departure.
Multi-day rate plans
Half-day, sunset, overnight, weekly charter — each with its own pricing curve, restrictions, and available crew.
Weather hold & rebook
One action: offer all affected guests the next compatible departure, refund, or voucher. Tracked, reversible, audited.
Crew and captain assignments
Slot-level roster with hour tracking — useful for payroll and for proving who was aboard which run.
Deposit + balance payments
20% now, remainder 48h before sailing. Automated reminders if balance isn't paid, auto-release to waitlist if not.
Waiver capture
E-sign a liability waiver during checkout. PDF with guest signature stored per booking, searchable by name and date.
Push inventory once. Let availability fan out to the channel managers and OTAs your travelers already use.

TripStub exports the passenger manifest per departure — name, DOB, emergency contact — in a format Coast Guard inspections and your insurance broker can consume without reformatting. One click, PDF or CSV.
Run the numbers on your actual volume. Most operators we talk to save $8k–$35k/year just by skipping the per-booking fee.
