Ankor Software, an Australian yacht charter software startup, is transforming the yacht chartering sector through a strategic partnership with Inseanq, a leading technology provider for liveaboard diving operators. By combining yacht charters, cabin charters, and liveaboard diving into a single platform, the partnership aims to dramatically reduce booking times for sales teams.
Ankor Software is a technology company dedicated to transforming the yacht charter industry. With a focus on efficiency and innovation, Ankor developed tools like 'Trips', 'YachtNoter', 'Calendars', and 'Contracts' to streamline operations for brokers.
Ankor Software's mission to grow the ecosystem without bias drives the company to offer accessible tools for all industry players. By partnering with Inseanq, Ankor Software is now converging cabin-based pricing, availability platforms, and traditional yacht charters into a more unified marketplace.
Mike Sager, Ankor Software’s CEO, explained the significance of this partnership: “Ankor is actively expanding into new market segments,” said Mike. “When we looked at luxury/liveaboard diving, we were very impressed with the quality of Inseanq’s solution and backend technology. They’ve nailed cabin-based structure, pricing, and availability, which opens a new market for yacht owners and central agencies.”
About Inseanq
Operating since 2013, Inseanq is the leading technology provider for liveaboard diving operators, now expanding its offerings to include cabin charters and small cruise ships. Their distribution platform connects over 1,800 travel agents worldwide who specialise in diving experiences, helping to modernise operations and grow distribution networks. Through the Inseanq agent portal, agents can access up-to-date availability, book in real time, manage guest forms. Also Inseanq provides API and online booking widgets to agents to empower them with cutting-edge tools to boost their online sales.
Widgets within Ankor Software's itinerary builder, 'Trips', will help luxury dive yachts attract global customers by displaying cabin-based pricing, availability, and instant booking options. This is made possible through a partnership with Inseanq, which will also expand its booking system to more superyachts.
Securing Their First Joint Customer - Nomade Unique Experiences
Nomade Unique Experiences, a luxury tourism agency specialising in cruises and expeditions, is the first company to benefit from the partnership between Ankor Software and Inseanq. By utilising Ankor Software's yacht availability calendar and Inseanq's cabin-based pricing, Nomade can now offer its clients Antarctic expeditions with transparent pricing and booking options. This streamlined process has improved efficiency and booking times for both Nomade and its clients.
“For Nomade, Inseanq has provided an easy and user-friendly solution to showcase departures, live availability, and rates,” said Benjamin Garcia, Director of Sales & Marketing at Nomade. “This allows our agents to access information and request bookings more efficiently, without the need for phone calls or emails, making the sales process faster and more effective.”
Representing Aqua Expeditions and Antarctica 21 in the cruising industry, as well as the explora lodges, Nomade creates and offers strong luxury itineraries for clients. Additionally, Nomade provides charters and group conditions for boutique vessels in destinations such as Antarctica, the Galapagos Islands, the Amazon in Peru, Indonesia, and the Mekong River connecting Vietnam and Cambodia.
Benefits For Ankor Clients
This partnership offers Ankor’s clients—particularly central agents and yacht owners—direct access to luxury travel agents through turnkey solutions. These include cabin-based pricing, online booking widgets, and access to a broader range of demand. The collaboration enables clients to offer both charter and cabin-based pricing, along with attractive itineraries, thereby expanding their market reach.
