Fieldmarks for Marine Wildlife Tour Operators

Post the code once. The recap does the rest.

Built for the rhythm of the dock — four departures a day, two boats, walk-ups at the gate.

Post the code once

Every tour gets a fixed code and QR — pick your own, like BAYCRUISE — for the gangway sign, the ticket, or a crew phone. One code covers every sailing of that tour, all season; any single departure can still swap the crew or the route for the day.

Guests scan and leave an email

They land on your branded page, confirm their departure, and type an email — with an optional tick to hear from you again. Works for walk-ups, works for forty guests boarding at once, works for the ones who never install anything.

The crew logs from the deck

Naturalists log and verify sightings offline past the breakwater; it all syncs back in harbor. The Tour Recap drafts itself from the day’s verified sightings — you choose when it goes out, and whether a quiet sailing sends one at all.

Peak excitement is the harbor parking lot.

The Tour Recap lands while they’re still telling the story: the day’s verified sightings, with photos, the naturalist’s note, your logo, a review prompt, one tap to share. Not a follow-up email three weeks later — that evening or the next morning, whichever you choose.

Rarity does the bragging. “A blue whale, verified at 11:14” gives every share and every review the specifics that make people book — and puts your crew’s expertise where guests see it.

Reach them again

The guests your booking platform never told you about.

When a passenger books through a reseller or a marketplace, their contact details never reach you — the sailing ends, and so does your reach. On Fieldmarks, every guest who signs up for a recap can tick a box to hear from you again — properly recorded, easy to withdraw — and the opted-in list exports to whatever you already send from. Season announcements, next year’s migration, the early-bird sunset cruise: finally sent to people who’ve already been aboard.

The list is yours. Fieldmarks never emails your guests marketing on its own.

Back your crew

Your naturalists’ name on every sighting.

Naturalists log from the deck — offline past the breakwater — and every entry carries their name into the recap guests share. The Wildlife Library already knows your water: 700+ species per region, with rarity for your coast, so nobody’s stumped on a dolphin ID — and the once-a-season visitor can be flagged as a special sighting that rises to the top of the day’s recap.

Hotspots turn your own seasons of sightings into a map — where your boats have actually found humpbacks in July, and at what hour — intel a new naturalist inherits on day one.

Questions marine operators ask

Most of our guests are walk-ups. Does that work?

Yes. The code is on the sign; anyone aboard scans it, leaves an email, and gets the recap after the sailing — no booking record needed. Scan on the drive home and it still matches them to the right departure.

Do guests log sightings themselves?

On a scheduled sailing, no — your crew builds the record and guests receive it. A three-hour trip with forty guests isn’t a data-entry exercise. Guests who want to follow along can open the Expedition App in read-only form; private charters can run as full Expeditions.

We run whale watches in the morning and a sunset cruise at six. Two systems?

One. Every departure — dawn, daytime, or after dark — shares the same schedule, the same crew roster, and the same library, and each tour keeps its own code.

What about a day with no whales?

By default a quiet sailing simply doesn’t send a recap; flip the setting if you’d rather every guest hear from you anyway. And if you review recaps before they go, the crew sees it first either way.

Do we need a connection on the water?

No. The crew logs offline past the breakwater and it syncs back in harbor. Guests don’t need anything until the recap arrives.

How does pricing work at hundreds of sailings a year?

Plans are sized by trip allowances that scale with your season — never per guest, never per crew member — and the pilot includes unlimited departures. See pricing →
