Sound familiar?

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.”

Before / After

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
How it works

Your guest books in three steps

Automatic from start to finish. Guests do it themselves, even at 2am — you don't lift a finger.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.

Before Lostromo he couldn't take bookings through his own website. Everything ran by hand over phone and message; there was no online payment at all. Guests who wanted to book instantly slipped away.

  • Guests now book themselves and get a QR PDF ticket instantly — no manual work.
  • He manages his own tours, prices, photos and availability.
  • Secure payments and a polished experience lifted trust and conversion.

What it does

One system carries the whole job

From booking to payment, ticket to invoice — all automatic. Your job is to look after the boat.

24/7 booking + secure card payment

Guests pay by card day or night; through local banks' secure payments, the money goes straight to your own account.

No commission

No cut of your sales — just a flat monthly fee, so you keep everything you earn.

Smart pricing

From seasonal per-person rates to yacht charters, age groups to deposits — the system does the math.

Automatic tickets, invoices & emails

The QR ticket reaches the guest instantly; the day's passenger list lands in your inbox every morning.

In the guest's own language

Foreign guests book and get their ticket in their own language — no more guests lost to a language barrier.

Everything from one panel

Manage tours, prices, availability and departures from one panel; add your manual bookings to the same place.

Visual seating & deck plan

Drag and drop guests onto tables, sunbeds and deck areas on a to-scale plan of your boat.

QR check-in at the dock

Your crew scans the ticket's QR to mark the guest arrived; the day's list, meal preferences and seating are right there.

Your site, your brand

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
Your questions

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.
