Offer alternatives when boats are fully booked
Keep bookings moving even when a boat is taken. Smart alternatives suggest another boat, time, or date - so your customer stays in the flow and your calendar stays full.
Offer different times and dates
If no boats are available at the requested time, we suggest nearby time slots or another date.
How it works:
- First, we look for alternative times on the same day.
- If none fit, we check the next day, then the next week, and so on.
Because nobody enjoys playing phone tag about availability.
Suggest another boat from the same category
We treat boats in the same category as valid substitutes. If Model A is booked, we can offer Model B from that same category.
To enable, do this:
- Assign each boat to a category
- Enable alternatives for the categories that should suggest other models

Example: Put "Speedboats" together. If Speedboat X is booked at 2:00 PM, the system can suggest Speedboat Y at 2:00 PM.
Turn alternatives off
Prefer to keep choices simple? Turn off automatic suggestions per category or globally on the alternatives page.
