Ferries module
Ferry booking software for travel agencies and operators: live timetables from ferry APIs and your own routes, seats, cabins and vehicles on one booking, island-hopping legs and QR boarding passes.
Departures
Every sailing your customers can buy lands on one board: your own routes and the timetables that ferry operators publish through their APIs, with departure, arrival, crossing time and whether places are still on sale.
| To | Vessel | Departs | Arrives | Duration | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paros | Fast ferry | 07:00 | 09:50 | 2 h 50 min | Boarding |
| Mykonos | Ro-Pax ferry | 07:30 | 12:45 | 5 h 15 min | On time |
| Naxos | Fast ferry | 08:15 | 11:35 | 3 h 20 min | Full |
| Santorini | Catamaran | 09:00 | 13:45 | 4 h 45 min | On time |
| Heraklion | Cruise ferry | 21:00 | 06:30 | 9 h 30 min | On time |
| Chania | Ro-Pax ferry | 21:30 | 06:00 | 8 h 30 min | On time |
Times and statuses on this board are an example. On your site they come from your routes and the operators you connect.
Connected ferry operators send their sailings, times and availability, so the board and the search fill themselves without anyone retyping a timetable.
Publish the routes you run or contract by weekday and season, then close or reschedule a single sailing from the admin.
Deck seats, cabins and vehicle lanes count down as they sell, and a sailing turns Full on its own when the last place goes.
Online sales stop at the check-in deadline of each route, so no customer pays for a ship that is already loading.
What the ferries module covers
Sea and river routes between any ports, with operators, vessels and crossing times.
Daily and seasonal timetables, with single sailings rescheduled or closed from the admin.
Deck seating, reserved seats, lounges and private cabins per vessel, each with its own capacity.
Cars, vans, motorbikes and caravans booked with the passengers, priced by vehicle type and length.
Fares by route, class, season and passenger type, with markups for B2C and B2B channels.
A QR boarding pass for every confirmed booking, emailed to the passenger with the invoice.
Route network
Build the network once: ports are the stops, routes are the lanes between them, and every lane says where its sailings come from. Choose a route to find it on the map.
Each port has its name, country and terminal details, and appears in the search as a departure or an arrival.
A route can come from an operator API, from an allotment of seats and vehicle space, or from a crossing you run yourself.
Lanes that share a port link up, which is what lets customers build island-hopping trips in the search.
Ferries share one search and one checkout with trains and buses, so a coastal trip can mix sea and land legs.

Passengers and vehicles
The booking step asks what a ferry needs to know and nothing more: who travels, where they sit or sleep, what they drive on board and whether a pet comes along. The price updates with every choice.
Adult, child, infant and senior fares with the age bands each operator uses, plus student or resident fares where a route offers them.
Deck seats, reserved seats, lounges and cabins are separate classes with their own capacity, priced per passenger or per cabin.
Cars, vans, motorbikes and caravans are priced by type and length, the same way operators sell lane space on the vehicle deck.
Pets, meals and priority boarding are extras on the booking, with their own price and capacity.
Return and island hopping
Customers add one leg after another, the system checks that each one leaves after the last arrives, and the whole trip is paid in one checkout with a ticket for every leg.
Return trips can carry their own fare or a discount on the way back, set per route and season.
Each leg can be a different operator and source, yet the customer books one trip and pays once.
A leg can only start after the previous one arrives, with a minimum gap you set, so no trip has impossible connections.
Passengers and the vehicle carry over from leg to leg, so nobody types the same details twice.
Destination companies use the same builder for island packages, next to tours and hotels.
Boarding pass
When the booking is confirmed, the customer receives a ferry e-ticket that the port can scan: route, sailing, seats or cabin, vehicle and the time check-in closes, all on one pass.
Suppliers and B2B
Connect ferry operators with your own credentials, add your own routes and allotments, and sell the same sailing at a different price to your website, your agents and your corporate desk.
