Sell every marine product with the rules its business model actually needs.
More than a booking engine — the commerce layer behind your entire operation. Product, availability, pricing, rules and payment flow into one booking that continues automatically into operations and administration.
Everything your commerce layer needs
One transactional core connecting product, availability, pricing, rules and payment into a single booking.

Availability
Sell the same resource in different ways — without double booking it
Availability combines bookings, Planner blocks, departures, GDS/Channel Manager occupancy and Boat Club rules, so a ticketed activity and a private charter of the same boat stay connected.
- Cross-product resource blocking protects the real underlying boat
- Public vs internal time ranges for operational or member-only slots
- Availability stays connected even to a personalized, fixed-price proposal
Pricing
Business rules become booking logic
Season, duration, day of week, passenger type, provider, channel and promo code can all shape the final price — for boats and for activities, each with its own equally flexible pricing model.
- Charter pricing: weekly, daily, day/week combinations & day-of-week logic
- Activity pricing: passenger type, modality, linked-resource supplement, provider cost
- Standard commerce for standard products, personalized commerce for consultative sales
Discounts & promo codes
Turn a promo code into an attributed sales channel
Discounts are a rules engine — priorities, stacking and sequential or PVP-based application — and promo codes can be linked to a specific agency or partner.
- Repeat-customer, early-booking, last-minute and long-stay discount rules
- Single-use or auto-generated code batches
- A restaurant or hotel flyer code rewards the customer and attributes the sale to the partner
Payments
The booking knows what has been paid, what is still due and what should happen next
OPTION_REQUEST → OPTION → PREBOOKED → BOOKED → CLOSED reflects the real commercial and payment status, with partial payments, financing, auto-notification and refunds handled from the same booking.
- Percentage or fixed first payment, second payment before departure
- Financed instalments for high-value boat bookings
- Auto-notification chases due payments; refunds processed from the same gateway
Security deposits
From check-out incident to deposit settlement — in the same workflow
Where the connected payment gateway supports it, Andronautic preauthorizes the security deposit, releases it automatically at check-out, and captures only the justified amount.
- Preauthorized amount reserved during the charter
- Partial capture for damage, lost equipment or fuel, remainder released
- Decided directly from the Staff App check-out workflow
Customer Area
The booking is not the end of the sale
Between booking and departure, the Customer Area keeps selling: extras, documents, contracts, outstanding payments and — when a mass cancellation happens — a self-service choice between refund and rebooking.
- Extras recalculate the total and can be paid online or at check-in
- Contract signature, licences and passenger data collected without back-office work
- Customers rebook themselves after an operator-triggered cancellation
Why it works
Every capability above solves a specific operational problem — here is the direct business outcome behind the strongest ones.
Generic booking engines assume one simple product model
Product-aware commerce for tickets, private charter, weekly charter and memberships
Sell every product without forcing it into the same checkout
The same resource is sold through different products
Cross-product resource blocking on the real boat or resource
Never double-book the same boat
Price depends on far more than a flat rate
Season, duration, passenger, provider, channel & promo-code pricing rules
The engine calculates what your commercial policy actually says
High-value bookings need more than one payment
Partial payments, financed instalments & auto-notification
Collect the right amount at the right moment, automatically
Offline suppliers can't confirm in real time
Payment preauthorization + supplier accept/reject
Give customers a digital checkout even when confirmation happens behind the scenes
Cancellations usually mean lost revenue
Self-service refund or rebooking from the Customer Area
Turn a mass cancellation into a rebooking opportunity instead of a refund
Product → Availability → Pricing → Rules → Booking → Payment → Self-service
The same transactional core carries every sale from the product page to post-checkout self-service.

Ticket, private service, charter or membership modeled on its own rules.
