Codeeo handles yacht charter booking website development Dammam operators use to sell boat time on the Arabian Gulf without a single message thread. Families from Dammam and Al Khobar, compound residents in Dhahran, company teams planning a day out and weekend visitors crossing from Bahrain choose a trip, see live availability, pay a deposit and get boarding details straight away. Your office runs every boat, captain and payment from one web admin, with VAT invoices issued as each payment lands.
We build the website and its booking and payment engine, used in any phone or desktop browser, so guests never install anything. Discovery and design reviews with Eastern Province teams take place by video call, and your team can also meet us at our Riyadh office if that suits. The aim is simple: fewer calls to confirm a slot, and money collected before the boat leaves the jetty.

What the platform handles
Charters in the Eastern Province look different from the Red Sea. Trips are often shorter, fishing is a big share of demand, the shallow Gulf water and the summer shamal wind decide many sailing days, and a large part of the customer base is corporate: energy, industrial and logistics companies around Dammam, Dhahran and Jubail booking for teams and visitors. Weekend demand also includes guests from Bahrain who come over the King Fahd Causeway. A yacht charter online booking system development Dammam businesses can use every day has to cope with all of that. It must accept company bookings on account as easily as a family paying by mada, handle wind cancellations without a phone marathon, and keep fishing gear, catering and crew organised. The features below are the ones we see Gulf coast operators use most, and your team can switch them on in stages rather than all at once. Analytics and consent are configured so you can see which trips, launch points and campaigns bring paid bookings.
Fishing charters sell with their own options: trip length, rods and tackle, bait, a cleaning and packing service for the catch, and a cap on anglers per boat. Guests pick these during checkout, and the crew receive a prepared list so the right gear is aboard before the group arrives at the jetty. Morning and evening fishing trips can carry different prices and different limits on anglers.
Fishing groups arrive to a boat set up for them.
Employers book team days and client outings through company accounts with several authorised bookers, a purchase order field and their VAT registration number. Bookings on account generate a tax invoice payable by transfer or SADAD where available, and finance can see who booked what for each department. Company bookers can add a cost centre or project code that appears on the invoice.
Corporate demand books without email chains.
When the shamal blows or the sea state crosses your limit, staff mark the affected window and the platform notifies every guest in it. Each guest picks a new date, a credit or a refund from one link, and your policy decides which options appear. Every weather decision is logged with the time and the staff member who made it.
Weather days cost a few clicks, not a day of calls.
Yacht charter online payment integration Dammam guests trust starts with mada, Apple Pay and STC Bank (formerly STC Pay), plus Visa and Mastercard for visitors from Bahrain and elsewhere in the Gulf. Tabby and Tamara can spread the cost of smaller packages. A SAMA licensed provider handles all card data. Refunds go back to the original payment method through the same provider.
Local and cross border guests pay without friction.
Groups of friends often split a charter. The lead booker pays the deposit, then shares a link so each person pays their share of the balance before a deadline. If the balance is incomplete by then, the lead booker is reminded and can settle the rest. Each payer receives their own receipt, while the invoice stays with the booking.
Balances arrive in full before departure.
Each boat has a calendar linked to the jetty or marina it uses, whether on the Al Khobar side or at Half Moon Bay. Minimum trip lengths, buffers for refuelling and cleaning, and maintenance blocks are applied automatically. Boats that move between launch points for the season keep their booking history in one place.
No double bookings across the fleet.
Crew members carry qualifications and working days. A trip is confirmed only when a suitable captain is available, and the evening before departure each crew member gets a short summary of the group, the gear list and any catering requests. Overtime and back to back trips are flagged before a booking is accepted.
Every booked trip has a crew.
Before departure the lead booker adds names and the ID details your crew must carry, through a secure form rather than photos sent by chat. Reminders go out by SMS, email or WhatsApp Business with the jetty pin, arrival window and what to bring, and the final manifest reaches the captain once the cut off time passes.
Every trip leaves with a complete, accurate guest list.
Deposits, balances and refunds produce invoices and credit notes in line with ZATCA's Fatoora e-invoicing, generated through your accounting software. Company invoices carry the buyer's VAT number automatically from their account profile.
Invoices match payments with no manual entry.
Arabic pages laid out right to left, with full English versions for the large expatriate population in Al Khobar and Dhahran. Each trip type and launch point has its own page and structured data, so people searching for fishing trips or sunset cruises near them reach a page they can book from.
Local searches turn into bookings, not phone calls.
Who this is for
The Gulf coast around Dammam supports small family run boat businesses, fishing specialists, resort marinas and agents who place company groups on several operators' boats. Each of them loses money in a different place, so the first conversation is about where bookings fall through today. From there we decide what belongs in the first release and what can wait until after the next cool season. These four profiles cover most of the businesses we hear from in the Eastern Province. None of them needs every feature listed above in its first release.
You run a few boats and most bookings arrive by phone or WhatsApp. The first release gives you a public calendar, a short checkout with mada and Apple Pay, and confirmation messages with directions to the jetty. Your staff learn the admin quickly, and the phone becomes a backup rather than the main channel. Repeat customers can sign in to see past trips and rebook in seconds. Prices for Fridays, holidays and school breaks can be set ahead in the admin.
Start with the trips you sell every week.
Your customers book by trip length and target, not by yacht. The site leads with fishing trips, sells gear and bait as add ons, caps anglers per boat and keeps a waiting list for early morning departures that fill first. Regulars can rebook their usual trip in a few taps. Seasonal limits on species or areas can be noted on trip pages so guests know what to expect.
You arrange team days and client hospitality for employers in Dammam, Dhahran and Jubail on boats you do not own. The platform holds partner boats, owner calendars and your margin, takes company bookings on account and produces one consolidated invoice per client each month. Owners see only their own boats, bookings and statements.
Consolidated monthly invoices for corporate clients.
Your members and guests want sea trips during their stay. We add a booking section to your existing site, show only the boats you work with, and send each booking to your front desk and crew. Members can be given their own rates when they log in. Day visitors who are not members can still book open trips through the public pages.
How we work together
Most Gulf coast operators start with a fixed scope release covering their core trips and payments, then add a monthly retainer for new packages and seasonal changes. Agents with several partner fleets sometimes take a dedicated team. The main cost drivers are the number of boats and launch points, corporate account features, group payment sharing, the systems we connect, and the amount of Arabic and English content to be written. Each driver appears as its own line in the written proposal, so you can phase the build around the cooler months when demand is highest and keep the summer for improvements.
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
The stack is chosen around your traffic, payment provider and accounting software, and the people who will maintain the site. Hosting inside the Kingdom is available when your data policy or a corporate client requires it. Pages are kept light so they load quickly for guests checking details at the jetty on mobile data.

We agree a timeline in writing after discovery.
A site for a small fleet with standard trips, mada and Apple Pay, and Fatoora invoicing is a contained build. Corporate accounts, group payment sharing, partner logins and resort integrations each add time. Content and payment provider approval often take longer than development, so we start them in the first week. The milestones in the written plan only move when the agreed scope changes.
