Havenstar LTS Version 3.34 - Changes and Release Notes
Quick Intro
Our latest LTS version 3.34 was released December 2025. Our previous LTS version was 3.27. This article highlights the major and minor changes.
Our LTS (Long Term Support) schedule is designed to reduce the frequency and inconvenience of large system updates, especially during peak season, while still providing a ongoing stream of smaller fixes and improvements that are delivered automatically. You can book your upgrade for a convenient time here: https://havenstar.zohobookings.eu/#/upgrades.
New Features
Payment Links/Click2Pay Module
A brand new module allowing you to accept self-service customer payments, facilitated by Cardstream payments gateway. Unique payment links are stamped onto every PDF invoice - the customer simply clicks or scans and is directed to an online checkout page. On successful payment, the receipt is downloaded into Havenstar automatically, and allocated against the invoice.
Contact us for more information at sales@havenstar.com.
Debt Management Module
Another new module that dovetails nicely with our Click2Pay module- a dedicated system for automating debt-chasing and tracking manual steps taken such as emails and phone calls. Design your debt escalation workflows - how many days overdue, which steps to take, and then let Havenstar take it from there.

Visitor Bookings Manager Overhaul
One of the biggest changes to an existing module, we've made some changes to our Bookings Manager module. Firstly, it has been renamed to Visitor Bookings Manager to clarify its purpose and intended use cases. The landing screen is now the Bookings Diary, which we've also redesigned so the first thing you see at a glance is who's coming and going in the next few days.
The main Booking page has been redesigned, with more information visible at a glance, and a number of additional features:
Option to auto-consume free visitor days on booking.
Option to automatically email or text customer when a booking is confirmed (SMS requires SMS module and credits).
New "rally" button to tag bookings as affiliated with a rally or regatta, for more effective reporting.
Option to include or exclude specific charging rates/mooring tariffs from the bookings selection list.
We've added a set of new built-in reports to the Visitor Bookings Manager, letting you quickly report on bookings based on certain properties - for example, bookings with no berth allocated, unpaid boats, and more. We've also made various improvements and standardisations to the boat arrival process when the boat already has a booking.
If you have any questions about the new design, please refer to the relevant articles in the Help Centre, or raise a ticket with us if you're still having trouble.
Mooring Schedules for Bookings & Contracts
For our customers with a high number of berths, that host frequent events and often need to move large numbers of boats around, we have a new "mode" for our bookings and contracts, which we've dubbed Mooring Schedules. Rather than a single allocated berth for the booking or contract, this mode allows you to define a schedule in advance, where the boat may stay on multiple berths over the duration of the booking or contract. For example, for the first two days the boat will be on A01, and then it's moving to B23 for 2 days, and then back to A01.
While this mode is designed to support more complex marina operations, it also increases the complexity for you and your staff. As such, this mode is turned off by default. If you're not sure if you need it, do contact us for more information.
Works Order Late Fees
We added a new facility to the Boatyard Manager to bill a last-minute booking surcharge if a customer requests a boatyard job within a certain time frame (configurable as needed). This can be also be set to be billed and delivered to the customer via email automatically.
Debit Notes (ZATCA)
As part of our integration with the Saudia Arabian ZATCA interface, we've added support for an additional transaction type - Debit Notes - denoting an adjustment to an existing invoice.
