Tide Harbor Travel started as a shared notebook between three planners who kept solving the same problems for different travellers: which cabin category actually sleeps well, what a group day really costs, when a harbor town stops serving dinner. The answers lived in email threads, so they went here instead, in pages that get edited when the season changes.
Marisa Kellogg handles cruises and island routes, and books the sailing before the shore excursions. Tobias Wren works on coastal drives, ferries and small-ship weeks, the trips where the timetable matters more than the hotel. Noor Haddad plans family and celebration travel, which means she plans around headcounts and free mornings before anything else. Between them the desk covers the work from the first call to the message at midnight when a crossing gets cancelled.
How the work is priced
Trips are quoted as a flat planning fee or a supplier commission, stated in writing before anything is booked. The fee covers research, bookings, documents, reconfirmations and support while you travel. Nothing is added later without a message first, and the first ten minutes of any question are free.
What gets checked
Every itinerary passes the same three checks: transport times measured rather than estimated, opening dates confirmed with the venue, and one backup planned for the day most likely to break. Suppliers are used more than once before they appear in a second plan, and anything that fails gets replaced rather than explained.
