Platform: 360 SERVICE HUB

1. Overview & Business Profile Context

This cookbook provides realistic, comprehensive, and verified test data for onboarding a luxury yacht charter, sailing catamaran cruise, and private marine vessel agency. It exercises:

• Marine Vessel Asset (VEHICLE) Resource Allocation: Modeling ocean-going motor yachts, twin-hull sailing catamarans, and sports speedboats berthed at iconic waterfront marinas.
• Compound Marine Crew Allocation (VEHICLE + PERSON): Demonstrating seamless atomic coupling between the private charter vessel and a certified commercial Master Mariner / yacht skipper.
• Hourly Duration Engine with 2-Hour Base Sunset Blocks & Multi-Slot Rules: 2-hour base booking slots for sunset and harbor cruises, with multi-slot rules allowing continuous 4-hour bookings for cross-harbor Alibaug transfers with automated volume discounts.
• Turnaround Deck Wash, Bilge Inspection & Life Safety Buffer (45 Minutes): Enforcing a mandatory 45-minute buffer between voyages for deck freshwater washing, life vest inspection, cabin air conditioning cooldown, and safety gear inventory.
• Coastal Marine Operating Hours: Operating from sunrise (06:30 AM for morning calm sea cruises) to sunset twilight (08:30 PM), governed by port trust harbor lighting and coastal weather advisories.

3. Five Deterministic End-to-End QA Test Scenarios

Scenario 1: Sunset Slot Concurrency & High-Demand Booking Lock

• Action: Customer A books 2-Hour Arabian Sea Sunset Yacht Cruise on Vessel 1 for Saturday at 05:00 PM – 07:00 PM (prime sunset window). Concurrently, Customer B attempts to book Vessel 1 at 05:30 PM.
• Expected Result:
  • Customer A's booking locks Vessel 1 and Capt. Vikramaditya from 05:00 PM to 07:45 PM (including 45m washdown buffer).
  • Customer B's query for Vessel 1 at 05:30 PM is rejected.
  • The booking UI offers Vessel 2: Lagoon Catamaran or Vessel 3: Sea Ray Speedboat if an alternate skipper is available, or offers the 02:30 PM – 04:30 PM afternoon cruise.

Scenario 2: Captain Resource Collision Across Different Vessels

• Action: Customer A books the Catamaran (Vessel 2) with Captain Vikramaditya for Sunday at 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM. Customer B attempts to book the Motor Yacht (Vessel 1) at 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM.
• Expected Result:
  • Even though Vessel 1 is unoccupied in the marina, Captain Vikramaditya is actively sailing Vessel 2.
  • Customer B's booking request fails due to Captain resource unavailability.
  • System indicates that no certified skipper is available for Vessel 1 during that time window.

Scenario 3: 45-Minute Post-Voyage Sanitization & Netting Buffer

• Action: A 2-hour sunset cruise concludes on the Lagoon Catamaran at 07:00 PM. A night party cruise customer attempts to book the catamaran starting at 07:05 PM.
• Expected Result:
  • The booking engine injects a 45-minute turnaround buffer from 07:00 PM to 07:45 PM for freshwater deck hosing, cabin wiping, and life vest tallying.
  • The next eligible voyage start time displayed on the client UI is 07:45 PM.

Scenario 4: Port Lighting & Marine Safety Twilight Cutoff

• Action: Customer queries availability for a yacht cruise starting at 08:30 PM on a Friday.
• Expected Result:
  • The harbor closing time is configured as 08:30 PM in compliance with Port Trust night navigation safety guidelines.
  • Because the minimum cruise duration is 1 hour (which would end at 09:30 PM, exceeding closing time), the 08:30 PM slot is rejected.
  • The latest bookable departure offered is 06:30 PM – 08:30 PM.

Scenario 5: Adverse Maritime Weather Policy Verification

• Action: A customer with a confirmed sunset cruise contacts the merchant because the Coast Guard issued a heavy squall / high wave red alert for Mumbai harbor.
• Expected Result:
  • Merchant utilizes the business operations dashboard to trigger a "Force Majeure / Weather Override" cancellation.
  • The system processes a 100% full refund to the customer's original payment method without applying the standard cancellation penalty.
