Google Things to Do for Boat Tours
Boat tour and small cruise operators face high OTA commission rates — Google Things to Do direct booking is a major margin lever, especially for sunset and dinner cruises.
The pain point
Boat tour commissions on $100–$300 tickets eat into already-thin operational margins.
Recommended schema: TouristTrip
For boat tour and cruise operators, Google rewards TouristTrip structured data on every bookable product page. Combined with a verified booking link in your Google Business Profile, this is what unlocks the Official Site badge inside the Things to Do panel.
Setup checklist
- TouristTrip schema with departure dock location
