Our guest feedback reflects the importance of clear communication, suitable recommendations and reliable coordination before departure.
“EXPLR.SX suggested the perfect excursion for our family with two young children and matched us with an amazing crew who understood exactly what it’s like to travel with little ones. Every question was answered, everything was thoughtfully organised, and we went into the trip with complete confidence and peace of mind. We truly felt looked after from start to finish.”

How our operator partnerships work
Working with EXPLR.SX is simple. We coordinate directly with you, without requiring calendar integrations, new software or a booking dashboard.
1. We receive a guest enquiry
A guest contacts EXPLR.SX about a private charter, transfer or other experience.
2. We check availability with you
If your vessel is a suitable option, we contact you to confirm availability, the applicable price and any booking-specific details.
3. You confirm the booking
You decide whether to accept the proposed booking. Once you've confirmed, we arrange the guest's reservation and share the confirmed booking details with you.
4. We coordinate with the guest
EXPLR.SX handles the booking arrangements, guest communication and relevant pre-charter details.
5. You deliver the experience
You welcome the guests and operate the agreed charter or transfer. Payment is handled according to our agreed arrangement.
Clear commercial terms
We believe operators should know what they will receive for every booking they accept.
Receive 80% of your published price

Flexible payment arrangements
