Our verdict on Starboard Suite
Starboard Suite is a web-based reservation and ticketing platform for passenger vessels, water-sports operators, cruises, tours, private charters, and group bookings. It brings online, phone, and walk-up bookings into one system with real-time availability, automated confirmation and reminder emails, payment processing, check-in workflows, QR-ticket scanning on iPhone and iPad, manifests, reports, and website booking tools. It is best suited to operators managing reservations and scheduled experiences rather than general-purpose conferences or trade shows.
Pricing is structured around a free platform option and service fees. The Free platform provides the entire platform without an out-of-pocket platform fee, while customer ticketing fees can be passed through to customers. Operators processing less than $200K per year can choose the $500-per-month service fee tier. The next tier covers $200K–$1M in annual processing, and operators processing over $1M receive discounted volume-based pricing. The platform also includes custom PDF contracts with versioning, audit trails, data exports, kiosk-based self-service bookings, and management reporting, giving reservation-focused teams a broad operational toolkit.
Its ecosystem supports Stripe and Authorize.Net for payments, SmartWaiver, TripAdvisor, Viator, GetYourGuide, Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, and AdRoll. Website embedding is available through links, lightboxes, and live calendars, while iOS support covers QR-ticket scanning on iPhone and iPad. Operators choosing Starboard Suite should want reservation, payment, communications, and check-in workflows in one focused system. Teams needing verified registration forms, attendee apps, session management, or exhibitor features should choose a platform designed around those event formats instead.
