I’ve been building a better way to see your operation at a glance, and it’s finally in a place I’m excited to share: the Timeline Schedule View.
This is the screen I reach for first. It pulls your trips into a clean timeline so you can scan the week, spot conflicts, and make decisions fast—without digging through spreadsheets or juggling multiple calendars.
What you’ll see
- Days, boats, trips: Each day is grouped by boat. Time runs left‑to‑right. Trips show up as simple blocks labeled with the tour type, so you can skim quickly.
- Local time: What you see on the screen matches the time your team actually works.
- Color‑coded borders: Each tour type has a consistent border color so your eye can track it across the week. Alert colors make it obvious when something needs attention.
- At‑a‑glance clarity: It’s obvious where a day is tight, where you’re idle, and where overlap needs attention.
Why it helps
- Plan faster: See who’s going where, when.
- Catch problems early: Double‑bookings and tight turnarounds stand out.
- Fill the gaps: Empty lanes = missed revenue. They’re easy to spot.
- Keep boats and crews balanced: Use your assets without guesswork.
Filters that matter
- Boats: Focus on a single vessel or a handful.
- Tours: Zero in on specific offerings by tour type.
- Locations: Narrow to departures or destinations that matter today.
- Status: Hide cancelled, or focus on active and upcoming.
- Schedule type: Separate daily tours from charters or special runs.
- Quick search + select all/none: Find options fast and adjust in a couple clicks.
- Instant totals: As you filter, the counts update so you always know what’s on the books.
Built for the way you actually work
- Easy date controls: Jump a week at a time or set exact start/end dates.
- Works on phones: The layout adapts and stays out of your way until you need it.
- Stays quick: It loads fast and keeps up while you move around.
Who I’m inviting in
I’m opening up free access to a small group of operators via the OpSkipper Pilot Program. You don’t need a tech background—just your real‑world process and honest feedback.
- Your influence: You’ll directly shape how scheduling works so it fits your business.
- Your lift: I’ll handle setup and help import what we can from your current system.
- Your cost: Free while we build. The only ask is feedback based on your day‑to‑day.
If this looks like the thing you wish your team had yesterday, I’d love to get you in. Tell me about your fleet size, how you schedule (daily tours, charters, seasonal spikes), and what’s painful today. I’ll onboard you personally and we’ll iterate until it’s right.
Want in? Reach out and I’ll get you set up this week.
