Marine & Coastal Commerce · KSA
A dual-sided marine marketplace—book trips, buy catch, run a fleet.

The sea had no front door—booking meant phone calls and dock visits. We gave the coastal economy a marketplace.
Solo travellers book one seat; buyers purchase fresh catch direct. The entire coastal experience, from a phone.

What We Learned
Seat-level booking drove the highest early volumes—serving customers full-charter pricing had excluded.
Trip booking alone wouldn’t sustain daily use; the daily catch did.
Quality became the differentiator; new operators could build reputation in weeks.
