Comprehensive Audio Commentary System
for Boat Tours

Multilingual QR-Activated Narration for Waterway Excursions: No Devices, No Apps



Advanced Audio Commentary System for Boat Tour Operators

Nubart's innovative audio commentary system empowers city, river, and harbor tour operators to deliver multilingual narrated tours effortlessly, enhancing passenger experience without the need for in-vehicle speakers, PA systems, or app downloads.

A QR code acts as an exclusive gateway to the digital content. Audio tracks are played directly on the passenger's smartphone (BYOD), ensuring a seamless tour experience even in areas with limited mobile coverage.

Our advanced features such as geolocation, manual or GPS-triggered remote activation or programmed sequences ensure that the audio tracks are played at the right times throughout the tour.

At Nubart, we believe in simplifying audio tours for both operators and passengers. Our solution eliminates the need for expensive hardware, complex setups, and passenger app downloads. See how we compare to traditional solutions:

Return on Investment (ROI) With our non-transferable codes, the audio tour can be sold as an additional service Difficult monetization

Four Combinable Methods to Activate Audio Content

Nubart's sophisticated technology ensures your passengers hear the right audio at the right time, hassle-free. Our team will advise on the most suitable method and handle implementation. These activation methods can be combined for complex routes.

Geolocation (GPS)

Each soundtrack is automatically activated when the ship crosses the corresponding line. We can set the direction of the crossing so that the vehicle does not activate the same track twice (e.g. on the way there and back).

Ideal for boats on a waterway.

Timed triggering

This system allows a track to be automatically activated after the previous track has been played, either manually or automatically.

Ideal for routes with a clear schedule, or for bypassing areas where geolocation is not possible or where the internet signal is not sufficient for remote control.

Remote Control System

Our remote control system allows guides or drivers to manage audio playback for all passengers from their smartphone. No geolocation permission required, and it works even when passengers' screens are locked.

Ideal for all types of tours, offering maximum flexibility and control.

There are two versions of our remote control system that we can offer you:

a) Manual Remote Control

The guide manually activates each track at the appropriate time. Each passenger can listen to the track in their own language.

Ideal for journeys that do not follow a strict timetable or when GPS reception is poor.

b) GPS-Activated Remote Control

The guide's smartphone receives the signal via geolocation, and then automatically sends it to the passengers’ smartphones by remote control.

Ideal for routes with a fixed schedule and many passengers, or where the driver or guide is unable to manually operate the audio guide.
