Short answer

How can I get charter quotes using my AI?

Your AI uses the Booking Manager MCP to check vessel availability, calculate base rates, and add specific extras or taxes. You'll get a complete price breakdown for any specific date and boat you request.

The results you get

What your quotes look like

Every request your AI processes results in one of these four states.

READY

Complete price quotes

The AI pulls the base rate and all applicable taxes. You get a final number ready for a client.

CONFIRMED

Real-time availability

The AI checks if the specific vessel is actually free on your requested dates. You won't quote a boat that is already booked.

CUSTOM

Added extras and fees

The AI calculates the cost of specific add-ons like crew, fuel, or gear. This ensures the quote covers everything.

REVIEW

Human verification needed

If a request is too vague or a vessel is unavailable, the AI flags it. You decide how to handle these edge cases.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your chat window and your booking database.

  1. Verify vessel status

    The AI first looks at the calendar to ensure the boat is actually available for the dates you mentioned.

    check_availability

  2. Calculate base cost

    Once availability is confirmed, the AI pulls the standard rate for that specific vessel.

    get_prices

  3. Add specific extras

    The AI looks up the costs for any additional services or equipment requested in your prompt.

    get_extras

  4. Finalize the total

    The AI combines the base rate, extras, and taxes into a single, coherent quote for you to review.
