Is half your day spent on bookings?
Most operators still run on WhatsApp, phone calls and a paper notebook. The result is always the same: lost guests and chaotic days.
“Saw the message in the morning…”
“I double-booked the same slot.”
“We don't take cards, only cash.”
“The Russian guest asked, we couldn't answer.”
“Mid-season the notebook is a mess.”
“I answer the same questions all day.”
One system in place of all the chaos
Leave the WhatsApp mess and the notebook behind. Everything in one place, automatically.
Before Lostromo
- Bookings over WhatsApp and phone — a late reply loses the guest
- Deposits and payments in cash, tracked in a notebook
- Tickets, invoices, confirmation emails — all by hand
- Language barrier with foreign guests
- On a busy day, no clear list of who's coming
With Lostromo
- Guests book themselves 24/7
- Secure card payment, even the deposit online
- Tickets, invoices and emails generated automatically
- The site and tickets in the guest's own language
- The day's passenger list in your inbox every morning
Your guest books in three steps
Automatic from start to finish. Guests do it themselves, even at 2am — you don't lift a finger.
1 · Picks people and a date
The guest enters the number of people, picks an available day and fills in their details. Unavailable days show as closed on the calendar automatically.
2 · Pays securely by card
They add any extras and pay securely by card with SMS confirmation. If you've set a deposit, they can pay in full — or pay the deposit now and the rest on the day of the tour.
3 · Gets the ticket instantly
A QR-code ticket and confirmation email arrive in their own language within seconds. Nothing for you to do by hand.
While you're busy with the boat, the sales run themselves.

Not a listing in someone else's shop — your own system
On a marketplace like Booking or GetYourGuide the customer is theirs, the brand is theirs, and part of the money stays with them. With Lostromo it's all yours.
Yours with Lostromo
- Your own domain and brand
- Your customer database is entirely yours
- Money straight to your own bank account
- You control your content and prices
On a marketplace
- The customer is the platform's, not yours
- 20-30% commission on every sale
- Your brand stays in the background — you're one listing among hundreds
- The rules and visibility are in their hands
What operators ask
Short, straight answers. If there's anything else, we're on WhatsApp.
Do you take commission?
No. We don't take a cut of any sale. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep all of your revenue.
I'm not technical — can I use it?
Yes. The panel is built for everyday use — no technical knowledge needed. And we handle the full setup for you; you sit down to a system that's ready to go.
Where does the money go?
Straight to your own bank account. You get the virtual POS from your own bank — which is exactly why the money stays with you, with no middleman. Once you're approved, we connect it to the system.
What about customers who come via WhatsApp?
For a customer who comes by phone or WhatsApp, you create the booking in the panel and share a payment link with them. When they pay, a confirmation email goes to both them and you — so online and manual bookings all collect in one place.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of your business. Message us on WhatsApp and, with a couple of questions, we'll give you the right price.
How do cancellations and refunds work?
You set the rules. If a guest cancels within your window from their own screen, the refund is issued instantly.
Built on solid foundations
Lostromo is built and operated by a UK-based software company, with a real person behind it you can reach directly whenever you need to.
Bank-grade secure payments
Card payments run through your bank's 3D-Secure (SMS-verified) system. Card details are never stored anywhere — they go straight to the bank.
Fast and reliable
Your pages are served from a worldwide network, from whichever server sits closest to each visitor — so the site loads fast for them wherever they are. And because pages are kept ready, it doesn't slow down even on the busiest day of your season.
A UK-based software company
When something comes up, you don't reach a call centre — you reach the person who built the system. Direct access to the one running it.
