Services · Mobile app development · Yacht charter apps
Riyadh has no coastline, yet a large share of Saudi yacht charter decisions are made here. Our yacht booking app development Riyadh work serves the brokers, travel houses, family offices and corporate event teams based in the capital who arrange crewed charters on the Red Sea, on the Gulf and abroad. The app handles what happens far from the marina: the request, the proposal, the contract, the payments and the travel to the coast.
We are upfront about what a Riyadh app is. It is a sales, client service and coordination tool. The yachts, crews and permits sit with licensed operators on the coast, and the app connects your clients to them. Done well, it also makes your firm the client's first call.

What a Riyadh charter app should do
A typical Riyadh client asks for a yacht over a phone call from an office in Olaya or the King Abdullah Financial District, a family majlis or a business lounge. They want a shortlist quickly, a clear proposal, a contract they can sign on a phone and confidence that flights, transfers and the yacht line up when they reach the coast. Some want a long weekend off Jeddah, some a week in the Red Sea destinations further north and south, and some a summer charter in the Mediterranean.
The broker in the middle is often juggling several operators, a client's assistant, a travel agent and a finance team, all on different channels. That makes a Riyadh charter app closer to a private client service platform than a booking calendar. The features below are ordered by how often Riyadh brokers ask for them. In workshops we decide which ones go into the first release and which wait until the core sales flow is proven.
Every client has a profile with family members, assistants who book on their behalf, preferred yachts and destinations, dietary needs, celebration dates and past charters. Profiles are visible only to the broker responsible and their manager, because many Riyadh clients expect discretion as part of the service. Notes from calls can be added straight after the conversation.
Brokers prepare proposals from history, not from memory.
Licensed operators on the Red Sea and Gulf coasts share availability for the yachts you sell, either through a partner login or a calendar feed. Your brokers see what is free for the requested dates without phoning each operator, and holds expire automatically if the client does not confirm in time.
Shortlists sent the same day the client asks.
Brokers assemble a proposal with yacht options, itinerary, inclusions and terms, branded with your company identity. The client compares options in the app, chooses one and signs the charter agreement electronically. Signed versions, amendments and the partner's terms are kept together with the booking. Version history shows what changed between drafts.
Clients commit from Riyadh without printing a page.
Riyadh clients fly to Jeddah, Red Sea International Airport or Dammam before boarding. The app records flight details, arranges airport pickup with your transport partners and adjusts boarding time if a flight is delayed, so the operator knows when to expect the party. Hotel nights before or after the charter can be added too.
Flights, transfers and boarding line up for every charter.
Charters sold from Riyadh are often paid in stages: a deposit to hold the yacht, a balance before departure and an advance for provisioning on longer trips. The app tracks each stage, accepts mada, Apple Pay and cards, records bank transfers and issues ZATCA compliant invoices. Partner payouts follow the same stages.
Every riyal received is matched to a stage and a booking.
Riyadh headquartered companies and event agencies arrange yacht days for delegations, conferences and leadership retreats held on the coast. Group bookings support several yachts on the same day, guest lists with seating and cabin allocation, and approval by the client's events or finance lead. Each yacht in a group booking gets its own guest list and timings.
Large group charters organised from one screen.
Some Riyadh clients charter in the Mediterranean or the Indian Ocean during summer. The app can hold proposals from overseas partners, show prices in the currency agreed and keep travel documents in one place, so the same broker relationship covers trips at home and abroad. Proposal currency and payment terms are set per partner.
One app for every charter your client takes, wherever it sails.
The client app opens in Arabic by default, with English one tap away, and is designed for short visits: check a proposal, approve a change, see the travel plan, message the broker. Push notifications are sent only when something needs the client's attention. Assistants can be given their own access to manage bookings for the principal.
Busy clients act in seconds and do not uninstall the app.
Managers see enquiries, proposals sent, conversion, revenue by partner and commission due, filtered by broker and season. Riyadh Season, school holidays and long weekends show up clearly, which helps plan staffing and partner allocations before demand peaks. Exports go straight to your finance team. Targets can be set per broker.
Decisions on partners and staffing based on real numbers.
Before an operator's yachts appear to your brokers, the app collects their commercial registration, Saudi Red Sea Authority licence where it applies, insurance and vessel documents. Expiry dates trigger reminders, and a partner with lapsed papers is hidden from new proposals automatically. Partners see their own status and what is still missing.
Brokers only sell yachts from partners who are properly licensed.
Who this is for
Because Codeeo has an office in Riyadh, we can run discovery workshops, design reviews and acceptance testing in person with your team. That helps with charter apps, where a broker's way of reading a client is hard to capture on a video call. The four situations below are the ones we meet most often in the capital. Each one starts from the same question: what does the client in Riyadh need to see, and what does the operator on the coast need to receive.
Your brokers sell yachts on both Saudi coasts and abroad, and today they work from spreadsheets, messaging apps and email. A branded app gives clients one place to see proposals and plans, and gives you one record of every enquiry. It also protects the business if a broker leaves, since the client history stays with the company. Commission splits between brokers and partners are calculated per booking, so payroll and partner settlements no longer depend on someone's spreadsheet at month end.
Client history belongs to the firm, not one phone.
You already arrange hotels, flights and private jets for Riyadh clients and want to add yachts without building a separate team. We add a charter module to your existing app or client portal, connected to your partner operators, so a yacht becomes one more line in a trip you already manage. Your concierge team keeps one view of the whole trip, from the flight out of King Khalid International Airport to the last night on board. Billing stays in your existing system.
Reuses your client logins and payment setup.
The family's yacht sits on the coast, but decisions are made in Riyadh. The office needs a private app to schedule family use, approve charters to outside guests if the family allows it, track crew and maintenance and review statements. Access is tightly limited to named people, and nothing is visible publicly. Statements show what the yacht earned from outside charters and what it cost to run, so the family can decide each season whether chartering is worth continuing. Approvals happen on a phone in minutes.
Private by default, with no public listing.
Agencies in Riyadh run conferences, incentive trips and VIP programmes that include a day or evening on a yacht. A charter booking module inside your event platform lets you reserve yachts, upload guest lists and share timings with operators, so the yacht slot fits the rest of the programme. When a programme changes at short notice, which happens often with VIP guests, the operator sees the new timing straight away. Guest lists can be imported from your registration system.
Yacht slots sit inside the wider event timeline.
How we work together
Brokers usually begin with a fixed scope release covering client profiles, proposals, contracts and payments, then add partner portals and analytics on a retainer. Travel houses and family offices that need ongoing work across several products often take a dedicated team sitting with our Riyadh engineers. Codeeo has delivered 200+ projects across the UAE and the US and is rated 4.7 from 23 Google reviews. Whichever model you choose, priorities are reviewed with you each cycle, and you can move between models as the product matures.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We pick technology that suits a client service app: fast native feeling mobile apps, a secure web workspace for brokers, and hosting chosen with you so client data handling follows the PDPL and SDAIA guidance. Integrations with your CRM, accounting system and e-signature provider are planned from the first workshop.

Because the clients, the brokers and the money are often in Riyadh.
Many charters are requested, negotiated and paid for by people living and working in the capital. A Riyadh app focuses on that side: client relationships, proposals, contracts, payments and travel. The operator on the coast still runs the yacht, the crew and the permit. Keeping the sales and service layer in Riyadh lets you grow without opening a coastal office first. For a Riyadh firm, that also means your brand is what the client sees, while operators change from season to season behind it.
