How It All Started
SailTix began on a windswept pier in Sanur, Bali. Our founders—remote workers turned island‑hoppers—were frustrated by scattered timetables, surprise fees, and last‑minute boat cancellations. In 2021 we coded a simple booking widget; two years later, that widget evolved into a full‑fledged maritime marketplace connecting 37 operators across 127 routes from Indonesia to Thailand.
What We Do Today
Boat Tickets Hub — live inventory for ferries & fast‑boats, updated every 15 seconds.
Fishing Charters — small‑group trips with vetted skippers, gear included.
Private Yacht Charters — custom itineraries aboard hand‑picked catamarans and classic phinisi schooners.
Behind the scenes, our API normalises schedules, currency, and seat availability so you can compare options in one click—no spreadsheets, no phone calls.
Why Travellers Pick SailTix
1. Pasti Berangkat, Pasti Sampai
We were the first platform to guarantee either a confirmed departure or an instant reroute/refund. Our auto‑rebooking engine executes in under 90 seconds.
2. Transparent, All‑Inclusive Pricing
No hidden harbour taxes, no fuel surcharges at checkout. The price you see is the price you pay—full stop.
3. Local Insight Meets Global UX
Our Bali‑based ops team validates every operator’s safety record, while our product team applies Silicon‑Valley‑level polish to the booking flow.
4. Secure Payments, Globally
Powered by Stripe and Xendit, we accept 135+ currencies, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and local e‑wallets like OVO and DANA—all tokenised for PCI‑DSS compliance.
The Tech That Makes It Possible
At the core is a Golang‑to‑Rust microservice stack running on Nomad, fronted by Next.js + React, and delivered via a hub‑and‑spoke architecture for blazing‑fast SEO landing pages. Real‑time vessel telemetry feeds into our availability engine so you only book boats that actually exist.
Community & Sustainability
1% of every booking funds REEF+, our coral‑restoration grant in partnership with local NGOs. We also mandate operator adherence to UNESCO marine protection guidelines and publish annual carbon‑offset reports.
