search_boats

Search charter boats by location, name, type, dates, capacity, budget. The response `total_matching` is the FULL count of matching boats — results are the top `limit` of those, so phrase counts from it ("8 of 48 available") and re-call with a higher limit when the guest wants more. Pass the guest's dates as they gave them. Each boat sets its own changeover day (`checkinout_days`) and its own minimum stay (`min_charter_days`), so the week a boat can actually be sold may not start on the day asked for — `price_summary` always names the real week, and it is the one sentence to quote, as it stands: the boat page's own Total for the stay it names, for the `guests` given (else the boat's max guests), all in (charter, every required fee charged now or at pickup, the 45 EUR platform fee; refundable deposits never), and the discount applied (the percent the site's card shows); a stay other than a week names its dates and length ("for Jun 19–22 (3 nights), 4 guests"); with no dates it is the boat's lowest week ("From", at max guests, precomputed). `list_price` holds the same figures — `total` (the stay's), `per_day` (that total per day for the boat; `from` when no dates were given), `party` (the guests it is priced for), `original_per_day` and `discount_pct` when a discount applies. For Due now, Paid at pickup and each deposit by name call get_boat_details with the dates. No total here includes an optional extra — `price_summary`, `list_price` and the `total_max` screen all leave out a skipper where `skippered` is 'optional', a hostess, a cook — so for a total with one, call get_boat_details with the dates and add the fee it lists under `fees.optional`; until then say the figure is without it, never a typical or estimated rate, and call no budget met or exceeded on one. When `boats` is short, `alternatives` holds the closest boats, and each one's `relaxed` names what it loosened: `dates` (the week either side), `place` (a nearby base), `model` (another model of the same make), `name` (a boat carrying one word of the name). Say which — they are not what was asked for, and they count toward no total. List them AFTER the matches, in their own list, under a one-line heading naming what was loosened ("Close alternatives — the week either side"): never mixed into the same list. That heading is what splits the two on every card surface, so without it an alternative is rendered exactly like a match. `alternative_inventory` tells you which kind of "no" you are giving: `total_boats` 0 means this coast does not have that boat, while `total_boats` high with `available_nearby_or_within_7_days` 0 means it is the week, not the place. If a plain marina search has neither matches nor alternatives, `listed_unavailable` may carry published boats visibly listed at that exact marina. They are not bookable results: quote no price, explain the supplied reason, and offer an availability alert. A search with NO dates and NO price cap lists every published boat that matches, so `boats` can end with entries we hold no prices for: from `unpriced_start_index` onward every one carries `bookable_as_searched: false` and a `not_offered_because` saying so — they count as matches, but cannot be booked or quoted, so name them, link them and offer an alert without ever stating a price. When you searched a boat by NAME, `named_matches` lists published boats carrying that name that this search could not offer — wrong dates, wrong place, or no prices loaded. Everything bookable AS SEARCHED is in `boats`; nothing in `named_matches` is — though one whose only reason is the place or the dates may still be sellable, which is what its `not_offered_because` tells you. Never say a named boat does not exist while it is in that list: name it, give its reason, and use `get_boat_details` for the dates it IS free. `name_not_found` means the opposite and is certain — that name is in no published boat anywhere. `alert_query` + `alert_horizon` feed availability_alert. Both are absent when this search cannot be expressed on the website (`search_url_unavailable` says so) — then there

Parameters16

location	string	optional	Destination name (fuzzy matched)
search	string	optional	Boat NAME only ("Papillon", "Ziphius") — the name an operator gave one hull, matched as a WHOLE WORD, so send the name the guest said and not a shortening of it. NEVER a make or a model: both go in `makemodel`, a model on its own included ("Oceanis 46").
boat_type	string	optional
makemodel	string	optional	Make and/or model, plain text, exactly as the guest said it: "Bali 4.2", "Fountaine Pajot", "FP 41", "Lagoon", "Oceanis 46". Make alone is fine and so is a MODEL alone. Do not split it, do not add punctuation, do not expand acronyms.
guests	integer	optional	Number of guests
date_from	string	optional	Start date YYYY-MM-DD
date_to	string	optional	End date YYYY-MM-DD
price_min	number	optional	Min price per day for the boat in EUR, all fees in — a boat's WEEKLY list figure: a week's grand total (charter, every required fee now or at pickup, the 45 EUR platform fee, our discounts; deposits never) at max guests ÷ its days. A dated row's `list_price.per_day` is its own stay's and may differ
price_max	number	optional	Max price per day for the boat in EUR, all fees in — a boat's WEEKLY list figure: a week's grand total (charter, every required fee now or at pickup, the 45 EUR platform fee, our discounts; deposits never) at max guests ÷ its days; a dated row's `list_price.per_day` is its own stay's and may differ. Use ONLY for an explicit per-day cap; for a whole-trip/weekly budget use total_max instead.
total_max	number	optional	Max grand total for the stay in EUR (the charter, every required fee now or at pickup and the flat 45 EUR platform fee; deposits never included): screened on the total `price_summary` states (`list_price.total`: the boat page's Total for the stay it names, for the `guests` given, else max guests); a month-wide range on `per_day` × days at max guests. Use this whenever the guest gives a total or per-week budget, e.g. "under €5000 for the week". Needs dates to apply.
cabins	integer	optional	Minimum number of guest cabins (crew cabins are not counted)
length_min	integer	optional	Minimum boat length in feet
year_min	integer	optional	Minimum build year
features	array	optional	Equipment/amenity filters — boats must have ALL listed. Namespaced slugs ("dinghy:hypalon") are subtypes that already imply the parent — do not also list the parent.

search_locations

Find marinas, harbours and anchorages three ways: by NAME (q), by POPULARITY within an area (region/country/city — ranked on observed AIS vessel traffic for a month), or by REACH from a place you already have (`from` + `within_nm`) — where boats are actually recorded sailing to from there, with measured passage times. Use `from` for "where can I sail from X", "what is a day sail from X", "somewhere quieter nearby". Provide q, or an area, or from.

Parameters10

q	string	optional	Name search (min 2 chars). Optional when an area filter is given.
from	string	optional	Origin location id (or slug) to sail FROM — take it from an earlier search_locations or get_location_details result. Returns places boats were tracked sailing to from there.
within_nm	integer	optional	How far, in nautical miles, for a "from" search. Default 35. Pick the ring by time — a charter boat makes about 6 knots, plus 30 minutes to leave and arrive, so: 10nm ≈ 2.2h, 20nm ≈ 3.8h, 35nm ≈ 6.3h, 55nm ≈ 9.7h, 100nm ≈ 17.2h. A full charter day of sailing is roughly 6-8h, which makes 35nm a comfortable day sail and 55nm a long one.
region	string	optional	Sailing region as the guest says it: Dalmatia, Istria, Kvarner, the Ionian, the Saronic, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese, the Sporades
country	string	optional	Country name or 2-letter code
city	string	optional
type	string	optional	Kind of place — e.g. anchorage for "quiet bays"; spot = an unclassified stop (beach, spit, headland)
month	integer	optional	Month to rank popularity for (default: current month)
sort	string	optional	Default popularity = real vessel traffic for the month; boats = charter fleet size; rating = Google rating
limit	integer	optional

get_boat_details

Get full details of a specific boat: security deposit, cancellation policy, amenities, fees, seasonal prices, check-in/out times, location details — and the dates it is actually free (priced date ranges plus bookable slots for the year ahead). Use when the user asks about a specific boat, and whenever a boat came back in `named_matches` and they want to know when it IS available. With dates, `stay_price` states Due now, Paid at pickup and Total first, then the charter, its discounts and the deposits.

Parameters4

id	string	required	Boat id from search_boats results (including named_matches) — copy it verbatim.
date_from	string	optional	Optional check-in date YYYY-MM-DD of the stay you are quoting. With date_to, `fees` are the ones that apply to that stay, and `url` opens the boat on those dates when they are one of `bookable_slots`. Pass both whenever you quote a price for specific dates.
date_to	string	optional	Optional check-out date YYYY-MM-DD — see date_from.
guests	number	optional	Optional: the party the stay is priced for; without it, the boat's capacity.

}

get_boat_standouts

What stands out about ONE boat for one week, measured against similar boats: its pros and its cons, each with how it compares ("47.9 ft (better than 99%)", "€2000 security deposit (typical €1700)", "Rare kit: [0.8%] Cool Box" — n% of those boats have it). Use when the guest asks what is special about a boat, what the catch is, why it is cheap or dear, or how it compares with others. It measures build year, length, cabins, bathrooms, guests, the security deposit and kit — and, with date_from, check-in and check-out times, the changeover day and the open weeks left; any of those it does not list is ordinary among the boats in `compared_with`, so do not sell it as an edge or a catch. Other fees are not compared. Kit is measured two ways and both hold: get_boat_details gives each item its [n%] across the whole fleet, this tool what is rare among boats like it. `note` says whether an absence means "ordinary" or that nothing could be compared.

Parameters5

id	string	required	Boat id from search_boats or get_boat_details — copy it verbatim.
date_from	string	optional	Optional check-in date YYYY-MM-DD of the week the guest is looking at: the boats are then compared on that week's prices, and its schedule and open weeks are judged. Pass it whenever the guest has dates.
compare_by	string	optional	Which boats count as similar. price (default): the same type priced within ±5% — what else the same money buys. guests: the same type taking the same number of guests — use when the question is value for a party size ("is it cheap for 10 people?"). length: the same type within ±2.5% of its length — use when comparing boats of one size. On guests and length the all-in day rate (the figure the search card prints) is compared too.
cutoff_pct	number	optional	Optional, default 10, at most 50: a pro beats all but this share of the similar boats, a con trails all but it, rare kit is on fewer than it. Raise it for more, weaker lines.
fallback	boolean	optional	Optional, default true: with nothing past the cut-off on a side, name the one thing that beats (or trails) most of them. false returns only what clears the cut-off.

get_poi_details

Get full details of a point of interest by ID: description, opening hours, address, contact, nearby marinas, special offers. Use when user is viewing or asks about a specific POI. POIs carry NO rating or review count — do not claim one or ask the guest to check it.

Parameters1

string

required

POI id from search_pois results — copy it verbatim.

  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "id": {

  },
  "required": [
    "id"
  ],
  "additionalProperties": false
}

get_location_details

Get full details of a marina, anchorage or bay by ID: description, amenities, contact, boat count and cheapest day rate, PLUS what only we know from tracked AIS traffic — how busy it is in each month of the year, how boats use it (share of overnight visits, typical day-stop length, what time it fills up), whether it is a hidden gem, the places boats actually sail to from there, most-travelled first with the share of the tracked trips each one takes and an estimated passage time, and the nearest bookable base for a spot with no fleet of its own. Use when the user is viewing or asks about a specific place, asks when it is quiet, or asks where to go next from one. Busyness compares a place to its own peak month, never to another place.

Parameters1

string

required

Location id from search_locations results — copy it verbatim.
