BoatTrip

BoatTrip is a Trip subtype for ferry, cruise, and boat travel. It adds 2 properties: departureBoatTerminal and arrivalBoatTerminal (both BoatTerminal objects). All Trip properties apply: departureTime, arrivalTime, offers, provider. BoatTrip is the reservationFor target in BoatReservation.

For a complete property walkthrough, see the TrainTrip example for the same pattern applied to rail. Replace stations with boat terminals and the @type with BoatTrip.

Common BoatTrip 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

    Terminal as a string

    Wrong
    "departureBoatTerminal": "Copenhagen Nordhavn"
    Right
    "departureBoatTerminal": { "@type": "BoatTerminal", "name": "Copenhagen Nordhavn Terminal" }

    departureBoatTerminal and arrivalBoatTerminal expect BoatTerminal objects. A structured object lets Google match the terminal to its knowledge graph and show it on a map.
