Sailing through the complex waters of boat tour ticketing can often feel like navigating a ship through a tempest. As operators, you're constantly battling against inefficient manual ticket sales, striving to meet customer expectations for smooth online booking, and striving to keep your operations running smoothly.
But there's good news - RocketRez is here to help you navigate the challenges of digital transformation. Welcome aboard the world's most flexible ticketing platform, designed to enhance the guest experience for leading mid-market and enterprise tours and attractions.
In today's digital age, relying on manual ticket sales is like using an outdated compass - it slows you down and leaves room for errors. Plus, it fails to meet today's customer expectations for seamless online booking experiences.
According to a Zendesk survey, 67% of customers prefer self-service over speaking to a company representative. As Harvard Business Review highlights, companies that offer an effortless interaction have a 94% chance of receiving a repurchase from customers.
RocketRez is more than just a ticketing platform - it's an all-in-one guest experience platform that prioritizes your guests' ease and convenience while guiding your boat tour business toward increased revenue, reduced costs, and better performance.
It's like having an experienced co-captain onboard, helping you navigate through the complexities of managing availability, ticket sales, pricing, resource allocation, customer experience, safety compliance, and digital marketing.
Think of RocketRez as a treasure chest packed with features designed to enhance operational efficiency, customer experience, and revenue growth. From calendar and manifest management to dynamic pricing and promotions, RocketRez addresses every challenge you face as a sightseeing boat tour operator.
Our platform streamlines processes; integrates with existing systems; and offers a connected point-of-sale and kiosk system for efficient ticket sales. It's also compatible with access control systems for seamless entry management.
Engaging with guests on a deeper level is effortless with RocketRez. A report from Epsilon suggests that 80% of customers are more likely to make a purchase when brands offer personalized experiences.
RocketRez's features like surveys, forms, waivers, and SMS/email notifications provide personalized experiences that foster loyalty and drive revenue growth. Real-time updates facilitate quick responses to operational changes, ensuring smooth coordination.
RocketRez offers a user-friendly interface for straightforward booking, allowing guests to easily view available tours, select their preferred date and time, and secure their spots. The ease of this process not only increases customer satisfaction but also encourages impulse purchases.
"RocketRez helps us to make sure that our time slots that are available are also available to our OTAs to make sure they see the same sailing and they're pushing it out to their customers." - Sophia Shafiq, Controller at Red and White Fleet
The platform supports multiple booking channels, including online, mobile, OTAs, and in-person, catering to guest preferences.
RocketRez, understanding that no two guests are alike, allows you to deliver tailored communications and unique experiences for each guest. It's configurable to handle various issues, such as rescheduling boats or employees, changing schedules, canceling tickets, and transferring tickets.
With custom memberships, contact management, account management, entitlements, and rewards, you can create unique experiences for each guest.

Our platform assists in addressing inefficient processes, providing tools and insights to optimize operations, enhance the guest experience, and adapt to new workflows.

"Before RocketRez, we had handheld ticketing devices with card readers on them. The only option was to purchase tickets just as you were getting on the boat." - Robert Lomangino, Operations Manager at Governors Island
The Guest Experience Revenue Effect discovered that companies can increase their revenue by up to 40% while streamlining operations and saving 80 hours on employee training.
