Boat4You is a booking platform for boats that enables users to search, compare, and book yachts and catamarans in one place. The platform guides users from destination and date selection to confirmed online booking, with clear pricing, real time availability, and support for multiple languages and currencies. Behind the scenes, an admin system manages fleet data, availability, reservations, and payments, with major charter databases and Stripe support for installments and invoicing.
01
Intro
Boat4You is a boat booking platform designed to make charter search and the booking process simple, from the first search to reservation confirmation. The user-facing part of the platform is connected to a separate administrative application that enables the internal team to manage the fleet, operations, and payments in one place.
02
Challenge
The challenge was to design a booking process that remains fast, intuitive, and clear for users, while reliably supporting complex operational requirements in the background. On the user side, the experience needed to guide users from search to selection and final booking, without friction or unnecessary steps. On the operational side, the administrative system had to enable stable and scalable daily operations – from managing reservations and changes, to tracking customer inquiries and handling installment payment plans, all the way to consistent payment processing and full financial visibility through Stripe, with seamless support for both Croatian and English.
03
Solution
The solution delivers a structured booking flow that begins with focused search, continues with results optimized for quick comparison, and concludes on the vessel page, where users can select additional options before completing the reservation. Internal operations are supported by a dedicated management interface with clear navigation, advanced search and record filtering, bilingual support (HR/EN), and Stripe integration for payments, reporting, installment management, and invoice generation.
Some of the key features
Streamlined booking flow
The booking process was designed to provide users with a fast, secure, and intuitive journey from vessel selection to reservation confirmation, with a minimal number of steps and clearly defined calls to action.
Guided search entry
The search entry point was designed to help users immediately define the key booking context, resulting in more relevant results and a faster selection process.
Custom boat creation in the admin panel
A structured vessel creation process was designed to standardize data entry, reduce missing information, and simplify future updates.
Mobile-first responsiveness
The interface was optimized for smaller screens to ensure browsing and booking remain simple and intuitive on mobile devices, with layouts focused on clarity and key actions.
At-a-glance boat preview
The vessel card was designed to highlight key information and make it easy to scan, helping users quickly evaluate available options and move to the next step.
