Hi Maria, we are watching the weather for your boat trip on Wednesday 7 October at 10:00. We will confirm by Tuesday 6 October at 20:00. You do not need to do anything until then. Gozo Boat Trips08:00 ✓✓

  6. 10:00No Forecast YetForecast does not cover this trip
Seven bookings checked. Over the limit: 3. Near the limit: 1. Sample data and a sample forecast, nothing was sent or cancelled.

The evening of the same message

It is 8pm. The forecast shows strong wind for tomorrow. Your phone is full of customers asking if the trip is on.

You can write to everyone now, or wait and write later. Either way you lose your evening, and some customers lose patience.

Today: you type the same message for every booking. With this: you tap once per booking. You still make the call. We only get the words ready.

How it works

  1. 01

    You tell us your limits for wind, gusts and waves. We use your numbers, not ours.

  2. 02

    You open the list. Each trip shows fine, near the limit, or over the limit.

  3. 03

    For a risky trip you pick one of two messages and tap send.

What it leaves alone

  • The decision to cancelit is always yours, never made for you
  • A trip the forecast does not covermarked as unknown, never fine
  • Cancelled trips, started trips and trips more than 72 hours awayleft out
  • Customers you already toldnot messaged twice
  • Landline numbers21 and 27 cannot get WhatsApp, so they go on a call list

What we set up with you

We start with a 15 minute chat, and tell you then if it does not fit. We run one real day with you, and you check every verdict against your own call. You decide, always. You get one page in writing before anything is built.

Questions

Will it cancel the trip for me?
No. You always decide. It shows the risk and gets two messages ready. You tap send.
Do I need to learn anything new?
No. You use the WhatsApp you already have. Each message opens with the words already in it.
Where does the forecast come from?
You paste it in each morning, or we set up a way with you. We do not predict weather. We only compare the forecast with your limits.
What if the forecast does not cover a trip?
We say so. We never call that trip fine.
Can the cancel message promise a refund?
Only in your own words. If you give us none, the message promises nothing.
What about landline numbers?
Numbers starting 21 or 27 cannot get WhatsApp. They go on a call list, with the same two messages to read out.

Does this happen in your week?

Give us fifteen minutes. We look at how you work today and tell you straight if this fits. If it does not, we say so. You get one page in writing before anything is built.
