Project Overview
This project delivers an all-in-one mobile application tailored to the marine industry, bringing captains, service providers, and charter seekers onto a single unified platform. The app simplifies vessel management, enables easy discovery and booking of marine services, and enhances communication between stakeholders. With intuitive navigation and a modern interface, it ensures a seamless user experience while catering to diverse requirements such as repairs, maintenance, and charter requests.
