About
AndroNautic is a comprehensive, cloud-based management solution designed for charter businesses in the nautical industry, with over 12 years of experience as a dedicated nautical IT partner. The platform caters to fleet operators, charter agencies, boat clubs, and boat sales businesses, providing an all-in-one environment to manage every aspect of a maritime business. For charter fleets, AndroNautic offers calendar management, dynamic pricing and discounts, booking rules, and a full CRM and booking engine. Its built-in channel manager enables seamless connectivity with third-party platforms and agencies without limitations. Fleet managers can handle both owned and third-party vessels, granting dedicated access to individual boat owners. For boat experiences and tours, operators can create and sell tickets, private tours, cabin bookings, round trips, and one-way journeys — configuring rates per passenger, per cabin, or for the entire vessel. Boat clubs benefit from flexible member rules, mobile app access (Android and iOS), and optional boat monitoring for fuel and engine tracking. The boat sales module offers a CRM tailored for new and used vessel transactions, including BoatWizard integration and centralized lead management. Charter agencies can integrate multiple fleet operators, track their lead funnel, and deliver custom proposals via a white-label platform. A robust API allows agencies and developers to pull live boat data, pricing, and availability directly into their own systems.
