Boat loaning in marine tourism in Indonesia significantly impacts
the continuity of tourism activities. It is because some nautical tourism destinations
in
Indonesia
use
ships
as
a
means
of
transportation
that
cannot
be
separated

from
tourism
activities.
The
problem
is,
there
is
a
lack
of
information
availability;

for

example, event information, destination, and access for boat loaning. That
makes it difficult for tourists to be able to enjoy marine tourism. Therefore, the
purpose of this study is to design a prototype of a mobile application that can help
overcome the problem of limited information and access to marine tourism transportation,
and
be
able
to
answer
the
needs
of
tourists
regarding
tourist
information

using

the user experience as a design system. The user experience method will
be applied in application design testing, to obtain development aspects in the ship
transportation ordering application, according to user needs. The results of this
study are the prototype design based on user experience. The final result shows
87.5% response agree with this prototype design. This study applies the method
of boat loaning by utilising cooperation between agents and ship providers to
provide Ease of access to information on marine tourism transportation to prospective
tourists.
