Captain Ergun's story
BoatTripTurkey is a well-known Kaş boat-tour operator — 100,000+ Instagram followers, thousands of 5-star reviews. Yet it couldn't take bookings through its own website.
124
confirmed online bookings in month one (from 0 before)
“Before, we had no direct bookings — now we get hundreds every month.”
— Captain Ergun Dündar, BoatTripTurkey
Before Lostromo
- Not one booking ever came through his own website
- Everything ran on WhatsApp, phone calls and by hand
- No online payment; deposits were chased one by one
- Guests ready to book on the spot slipped away
With Lostromo
- From zero to 124 confirmed online bookings in the first month
- Guests book themselves and get their QR ticket instantly
- He now manages his tours, prices, photos and availability with ease
- Secure payment lifted both guest trust and sales
Captain Ergun's business was already strong: over a hundred thousand followers, thousands of happy guests. But all of his booking traffic ran through WhatsApp and the phone. Midnight messages were answered in the morning, card payments weren't possible, and deposits were tracked by hand.
With Lostromo he got a booking and payment system that runs from his own site, under his own brand, into his own bank account. Guests now book themselves at any hour, pay by card, and receive their QR ticket instantly.
The result was clear in the first month: direct online bookings went from zero to 124 confirmed in month one. Today Captain Ergun manages it all — tours, prices, availability — himself.
