BoatReservation

BoatReservation is a Reservation subtype for ferry, cruise, and boat travel bookings. It adds no properties of its own. Set reservationFor to a BoatTrip object with departureBoatTerminal, arrivalBoatTerminal, departureTime, and arrivalTime. Gmail reads this to show a boat travel card.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the Reservation example. Replace "@type": "Reservation" with "@type": "BoatReservation" and set reservationFor to a BoatTrip.

Common BoatReservation mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using generic Reservation for a ferry booking

    Wrong
    "@type": "Reservation" for a ferry or cruise
    Right
    "@type": "BoatReservation"

    BoatReservation tells Gmail this is boat travel. Gmail shows the departure/arrival terminals on the card. Generic Reservation does not trigger the travel-specific card layout.
