SeaMaster Yacht Charter

Transforming the Sailing Holiday Booking Experience for Really Good Holidays Ltd

Introduction of Project

SeaMaster Yacht Charter, a brand under Really Good Holidays Ltd, offers curated sailing holidays across the Mediterranean. The company lacked a scalable online booking system, relying instead on manual inquiries via phone and email. We built an end-to-end digital platform that automated package creation and centralised back-office operations for seamless bookings.

Problem Statement

Key Pain Points

  • The entire booking process was offline, forcing customers to rely on lengthy phone calls and emails, leading to missed opportunities and lost leads.
  • No real-time visibility into yacht, flight, or extras pricing, leaving customers frustrated with delays and inconsistent quotes.
  • Unverified yacht listings raised credibility concerns, damaging customer trust and conversion rates.
  • Heavy manual admin workload due to lack of integrated tools, slowing down operations and limiting scalability.

Key Metrics

Booking Automation↓100%
Performance Speed↓ 80%
Admin Task Reduction↑ 60%
Customer Drop-off Rate↑ 35%
Verified Listings↓90%

Result: stagnant growth and missed revenue in a competitive market.

The Solution

Dynamic Package Builder

Built a real-time pricing engine that bundles yachts, flights, and extras into complete holiday packages, eliminating delays and increasing customer trust.

Admin Panel with Operational Control

Delivered a centralised system to manage bookings, rates, licenses, and inventory, reducing manual work and enabling scale.

Verified Yacht Listing Management

Introduced automated verification tools with high-quality images and documentation, transforming the platform into a trusted marketplace.

Mobile-Optimised, Responsive UI

Designed a sleek, modern, mobile-first interface so users can search, filter, and book effortlessly across devices, raising the standard of digital holiday booking.

Together these tracks unlock discoverability, engagement, and conversion.
