Whale watching, sunset cruises, sportfishing and private charters on two boats, with captains, the Coast Guard manifest and weather calls handled in one place.
Inside the business
Seats tied to the boat, a captain on every departure, the Coast Guard manifest and the weather rules.
A whale cruise with a contact for every passenger, and a calmer trip for a seasick guest.
Passengers checked on as they board, and a missing waiver signed from a link.
Every trip shares the boat, and each departure needs a free captain before it sells.
Every passenger with a waiver and an emergency contact before the boat leaves.
Licenses dated on every captain, and the Coast Guard manifest ready before boarding.
Inspection dates that stop sales when they lapse, and trips moved for a small-craft advisory.
The phone answered, balances chased, reviews sent, and the sailings that ran under half full.

Step by step
From the booking page to the reviews after the trip.
A whale cruise booked from its page. Seats left on every time, a date of birth and emergency contact for each passenger, the waiver signed in checkout, and a deposit to hold the seats.
A family with a seasick passenger asks Dash on the booking page. It suggests the calmer bay tour, and they pick the time and go to checkout from the chat.
The whale cruise, sunset cruise, bay tour and private charter all point at the same boat, so only one is on the water at a time. Every departure also needs a free captain before it sells.
Saturday on the calendar, each trip waiting for the boat to come back in. At the counter, the fishing trip says why it will not sell, because both captains are already out.
A birthday party asks for the whole boat. The card is saved, not charged, until the owner checks the boat and a captain with Dash and approves it.
Every active trip listed on both marketplaces at the prices already set, selling from the same seats as the booking page.
Departures with no captain, unpaid bookings, insurance coming due and crew cards to renew, each with the button that deals with it.
Every departure colored by how full it is, the private charter holding Friday, and a closed day for the haul-out. Ask who's captaining this weekend and Dash lays it out.
Every license and card with its date, an expired one flagged before you open anyone. Approve a captain's day off, publish the week's shifts, and ask who can take her sunset cruise.
Dash checks tomorrow's boat for missing waivers and emergency contacts, passengers get checked on as they board, and the captain gets the manifest ready to print.
Each boat carries its inspection and insurance dates, and if either runs out that boat's trips stop selling. Put the renewed date in and the warning clears.
A small-craft advisory rule on every trip, with Dash reading the forecast each day. Move a whole fishing departure to Sunday and every angler gets an email with the new time.
The night-before text to tomorrow's passengers, described in one sentence. Dash builds it, tests it against tomorrow's real list, and nothing goes out without the owner's okay.
Who on tomorrow's trips still owes a balance? Dash lists them, gets a pay link ready for each, and sends when the owner approves.
Dash answers while the owner is on the water, holds seats on the sunset cruise and texts a link to pay. A refund request it leaves for the owner, because that is the policy.
Today's departures on a phone, passengers checked on as they board, and a missing waiver signed on the dock from a link.
Everyone on the booking gets asked about the captain, the crew and the boat. Happy passengers go to Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp, and an unhappy one comes to the owner first.
Sales and bookings for the month, cruises against fishing, then a question the report does not answer: which sailings ran under half full?
Everything above is standard EquipDash: the booking page, seats tied to the boat, captains on every departure, the Coast Guard manifest, the weather rules and the phone that answers itself, set up for your boats instead of Blue Horizon.
