Key Benefits for Your Business
What changes when this module runs your day-to-day work
No Cut of Every Ticket
A licence per operator instead of a commission, so the fare a passenger pays is the fare you set
One Inventory for Web and Counter
Online bookings, counter sales and holds draw on the same seats, leg by leg
A Manifest Before the Ship Sails
Passengers per call against certified capacity, with special needs and minors with guardians
Boarding That Holds Up at Anchor
QR boarding that keeps working without signal and syncs when the connection returns
Core Booking Features
From the passenger's phone to the agency counter and the gangway, on one inventory
Voyages with Legs
A voyage is an ordered list of port calls with ETA and ETD, wharf or anchorage. A passenger booking three calls of a seven-call voyage takes a seat on those three legs only.
Fares from Your Tariff
Per-mile rates, cabin minimums, age bands and free allowances as your tariff publishes them, or a fixed fare per port pair. Extras such as packages, meals and animals come from the same catalogue.
Online Booking & QR Tickets
Search by origin, destination and date, or pick from upcoming departures. One ticket per passenger with a QR code and the code in letters, sent as a PDF in your brand.
Agency Counter & Daily Cash
A counter sale in under a minute, receipt numbers recorded against holds, and a daily reconciliation per agent with a printable deposit slip.
Manifests & Boarding
Embarking, disembarking and on board at every call, against the certified capacity. The boarding desk scans tickets and refuses unpaid, cancelled or expired ones with the reason.
Cargo & Bills of Lading
Freight on the same voyages, priced per revenue ton by commodity and distance class, with receiving windows, dangerous goods flags and a printable bill of lading.
Additional Ferry Booking Features
The rest of what agents, pursers and the office use every week
Timetables for Recurring Sailings
Weekdays, times and stops set once; sailings are generated 90 days ahead, and departures that already have bookings are never moved without you.
Waiting List
When a class is full on a leg, passengers join a list. When a seat frees up, the oldest entry that fits is offered it by email and text message.
Schedule Changes
Re-time a voyage or cancel it, and tell every passenger in one confirmed step, with refunds where they are due.
Public Notices
The Facebook post, the radio script and the printable notice for a voyage, drafted from its calls and times.
Emails and Text Messages
Branded confirmation emails with a PDF ticket per passenger, and text messages for confirmations, payment reminders, changes and seat offers.
Dashboard and Reports
Upcoming voyages with load, unpaid holds and revenue; passengers per voyage and leg, load factor and revenue by seller, every table to CSV.
Designed Around How Island Shipping Actually Works
8 things tour-booking platforms and ferry suites do not do, and that operators, agents and passengers notice
Seats Counted per Leg
Capacity is checked on every leg between a passenger's embarkation and disembarkation. Infants do not take seats, and unpaid holds count until they expire.
Cash at the Agency Is a First-Class Path
Reserve online, pay at the agency before the hold expires, record the receipt number. Card is an option, not a requirement.
Fares by Regulation, Not by Marketing
The tariff engine reproduces per-mile rates, cabin minimums, age bands and free packages. Change a rate in one place and keep the earlier versions.
A Boarding Desk That Works Without Signal
The desk keeps the voyage list on the device, checks tickets offline and queues the scans with their real time until the connection returns.
Light Enough for a Cheap Phone on 3G
The passenger site is a few hundred kilobytes and degrades gracefully when the signal drops. A booking is never created twice on a dropped submit.
No Commission on Tickets
Tour-booking platforms take 1.5 to 8 percent of every ticket. Ferry Booking is a licence per operator, so the fare a passenger pays is the fare you set.
Accessible by Design
WCAG 2.2 AA as a base, plus a panel on every page for text size, high contrast, a dyslexia-friendly font, read aloud and a reading ruler.
Your Name, Colours and Domain
The passenger site, tickets and emails carry the operator's name, logo and colours, on its own domain.

Why Choose SupaMaritime Ferry Booking for Island Shipping?
Most ferry software assumes a timetable, a card payment and a port with a terminal. Island shipping often has none of the three. A government field-trip ship calls at eight islands on one voyage, some by tender at an anchorage; passengers pay cash at the shipping agency; fares are set per mile by regulation; and the manifest has to be right before the ship sails. Tour-booking platforms model one departure as one product and take 1.5 to 8 percent of every ticket, while enterprise ferry suites are priced for fleets with daily sailings and port IT.
SupaMaritime Ferry Booking (the product is Supaferry) is built around those facts. A voyage is an ordered list of port calls, and a passenger takes a seat only on the legs between embarkation and disembarkation. Fares come from your tariff: per-mile rates, cabin minimums, age bands, free allowances and extras. Passengers book online and pay by card, or reserve and pay at the agency before the hold expires; agents sell at the counter in under a minute and reconcile their cash daily. The manifest per call is ready before departure, the boarding desk scans QR tickets even without signal, and cargo travels on the same voyage with its own bill of lading.
What Getting Started Looks Like
You do not start from a blank screen. Send us a schedule and a tariff, and within a week we configure a demo under your name with your ports, vessels, fares and passenger questions, free of charge. Your agents and boarding officers try it on the laptops and phones they already have. An implementation then sets up agencies, roles and timetables from your documents and trains the team; it is quoted once, and the licence is flat per operator, with no commission on tickets.
The result is one inventory for the website, the counter and the gangway: no seat sold twice on a leg, cash accounted for by the person who took it, a manifest the authority can read and boarding that holds up at anchor. Every booking, payment, cancellation and setting is in the audit log with the person's name, and reports give load factor, passengers per leg and revenue by seller for the office, the ministry or the donor.
