Flights scheduled the way your boats actually work
Generic booking tools treat a parasail operation like a walking tour with a start time. Then the sea breeze picks up, fourteen bookings need to move, and someone spends the evening on the phone. Solnow was built for high-volume water activity operators — the kind running back-to-back flights all day from a busy dock, with a line of walk-ups watching the chutes come down.
Set up each boat with its real capacity and rotation time, and Solnow builds your day as flight slots — every 15, 20 or 30 minutes, per boat, per base. Bookings fill seats within a flight, not abstract "tickets", so you always know if the 12:30 has room for a triple or only a single left. Observers ride along at their own price without eating a flyer's seat.
Waivers signed before the dock, not on it
Every flyer signs your liability waiver digitally — from home when booking online, or on their own phone at the dock via QR for walk-ups. Multi-passenger bookings collect one signature per flyer, minors included with guardian consent.
By the time a group reaches the boat, your crew sees green checks next to every name. No clipboard, no pen that doesn't work, no "we'll sign after".
What it looks like in Solnow
Weather day? Rebook everyone before they even call
This is the one that pays for the software. Wind picks up, you cancel the afternoon block: Solnow notifies every affected booking by WhatsApp automatically and offers the open slots for tomorrow. Most guests rebook themselves in two taps. The ones who want a refund get it processed in one.
The dock line becomes your best sales channel
Walk-ups are half of a parasail operation's revenue. Your dock staff sells the next available flight from the POS, charges card or cash, fires the QR waiver to the guest's phone, and boards them — while the boat is still out on the previous rotation. No one walks away because the line wasn't moving.
One WhatsApp agent answering "how much is it?" all day
Price, weight limits, what to bring, can kids fly, do you fly in this wind — the same ten questions, four hundred times a season. Solnow's AI agent answers on WhatsApp instantly, 24/7, checks live flight availability, and closes the booking with payment.
Evening inquiries stop dying in an unread inbox, and your dock phone stops interrupting boardings.

Done-for-you setup, commission-based pricing
We configure your boats, flight rotations, pricing and waiver, train your dock crew, and monitor the first weeks of peak season with you.
Pricing is commission-based with no upfront cost — you pay a small percentage on what you bill, so a rained-out week costs you nothing in software.
