Description
Boats Manager is a lightweight and efficient plugin for managing boats, yachts, and charter listings inside WordPress.
It provides:
- A custom post type: Boat
- A clean, theme‑inherited single‑boat template
- A responsive image gallery powered by Swiper.js
- Lightbox support via GLightbox
- Automatic thumbnail gallery generation
- Custom fields for boat details (length, cabins, year, price, region, type, etc.)
- SEO‑friendly markup and lazy loading
- AJAX archive filtering (type, region, cabins, length, price)
This plugin is ideal for yacht charter companies, brokers, marinas, or any business needing a structured boat listing system.
Features
- Custom Boat CPT
- Custom taxonomies (Type, Region)
- AJAX archive filters
- Responsive gallery with Swiper
- Lightbox integration
- Template override support
- Classic theme compatibility
- Automatic Boats page creation
Theme Compatibility
Boats Manager is designed to work best with classic themes, such as:
- Astra
- GeneratePress
- Kadence
- OceanWP
Classic themes automatically provide header, footer, and layout structure through get_header() and get_footer().
Block themes (FSE themes like Twenty Twenty‑Four) do not provide traditional PHP templates and therefore will not display the plugin’s header and footer correctly.
For the best experience, we strongly recommend using a classic theme.
Installation
- Upload the plugin folder to
/wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/ - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
- Add boats under Boats Add New
- Add images and details using the built‑in custom fields
FAQ

Can I customize the template?
-
Yes. Copy any template from:
/wp-content/plugins/boats-manager/templates/
into:
/yourtheme/boats-manager/
and modify it safely. -
Does it support more than 10 images?
-
Yes — the gallery automatically adapts to the number of images added.
