BOATBYDAY

How It Works

For Travelers

Welcome to the discovery directory for day-cruises in your area. Search by place, group size, and boat style — then contact the operator directly. Fast, simple, commission-free.

1) Start with the Search

On the homepage you’ll see three filters. Only location is required:

  • Location — type a big area (island/region) or a specific port/town.
  • Capacity (optional) — helps hide boats that are too small.
  • Boat Type (optional) — catamaran, sailboat, motorboat, etc.

Tip: Tap FIND YOUR CRUISE to see boats near your search area.

2) Results Page

A

Results: Boats are ranked by how closely they match your search location, along with the amount of information provided by the operator.

B

Interactive map: each boat is pinned on the map. Tap a pin to preview the boat and open the listing.

C

Boat cards: key details at a glance — location, boat type, capacity, price, and fuel policy.

D

Search filters: refine your location, capacity, or boat type at any time — results update instantly.

♥

Favourites: tap ♥ to save boats and compare them later from the ‘favorites’ page found at the top of the page.
