Options & Prices for Private Boat Tours

When you create an offer on checkyeti, you are building a unique activity bookable for guests. This could be a boat tour with a specific itinerary, duration, and inclusions. 

Options

Options are different versions of the same tour. They can differ in duration, meeting place, or what is included. For example, you might offer a morning and evening tour, or a choice between a 2-hour and 4-hour tour.
Unlike shared boat tours where pricing is charged per individual participant, private boat tours are priced per group. The total price covers the entire group and is structured using options. 


1. Duration
Specify the total duration of your tour in the duration field (for example, 6 hours and 30 minutes). This represents the length of the tour that the customers will see on your offer and use to plan their experience accordingly. This only includes the time spent on the boat and does not include travel time to or from the activity point, like hotel pickups or bus transfers


2. Meeting Place
Define whether your tour has one or multiple departure locations. You have two possibilities:

• Departure is always from one location: All departures for this tour start from the same place.
• Departure can be from multiple locations: The tour can start from different locations, allowing you to configure specific start times, days, and prices for each location in the Schedule section.

3. Included in your activity
Tick the boxes for items included in your price: Food, Drinks, Aperitif, or Pickup. If you offer two versions of a tour (e.g., one with lunch and one without), create two separate options.


4. Labels (Optional)
Labels help you and the customer distinguish between options.

• Visible for you: Labels appear in your options overview for easy navigation.
• Visible for guests: Labels appear on the booking page alongside the duration and price, allowing guests to clearly understand what each option includes before making a selection. 

Labels are short, descriptive tags. Good examples include "with Lunch", "with Pickup", or "VIP". If a service is included in your price, remember to also incorporate its cost when setting your rates in the Schedule section.

Schedule

In this section, you configure the operational details: when the tour is available, where it starts, and the price. 


A. Create your schedule
Start by giving your schedule a name. This is for your reference only and won’t be visible to guests. Choose a clear name so you can easily identify it later.
Then set the date range.


B. Configure the schedule details 
For each date range, you can define:

• Start times
• Start days
• Price
• Meeting places
  

  Depending on your previous selection (single or multiple locations) in the Options section, you will see one of the following options:
  - Single location. The location is fixed. If you want to change it, please save your work and go back to the Option > Meeting place section to define a new one.
  - Multiple locations. You can select a departure location from your list of saved meeting places. Make sure to choose the location that matches the selected days and start times.
  If the required location is not available yet, you can create a new one directly by clicking "Create a new meeting place”. For more details, visit our guide on Set up Meeting Places. 
  
  

C. Multiple schedules and pricing rules
Each start time within a date range has one set price, keeping your pricing clear and consistent for guests.
To apply different prices for the same start time (for example during peak weeks) you can do this by setting up separate date ranges. 

In addition, within a date range, each start time can only be associated with specific start days. If, for the same start time, the start days change during the season, you must also create new schedules according to your start day changes.

Exception 
If you want to add additional start times within an existing schedule while keeping existing prices the same, you can find more details here: Overlapping Schedules.


D. Maximum number of participants
The next thing to configure is the maximum number of participants your boat can accommodate. This caps how many participants a guest can select when making a booking, and should reflect the actual physical capacity of the boat.

Example: Your private boat has a capacity of 12 people. The maximum number of participants is set to 12 (no booking can exceed this number). 


E. Maximum number of participants
With your previous steps defined, you can now set your prices. For private tours, prices are based on the total number of people rather than individual participant types. Depending on your setup, pricing can be structured in three different ways. 

Find the structure that suits you best here: Pricing Options: Group & Private Activities.
