Since its inception last December, Dubai-based start-up, CharterCli­ck now has 34 boats onboard and is expanding its reach outside the emirates.

The main feature of CharterCli­ck is that it works in real time which means the booking can be easily done from the convenienc­e of your laptop or mobile phone. After four months of operation, the highest mark CharterCli­ck has reached is 1200 new users in one day, with the total amount of users being around 1500 people for that very day. “We usually have around 100 new users daily, with the average of 250 - 275 total users coming to CharterCli­ck every single day. We are averaging 3 to 5 bookings a day, and because of the advanced bookings, we are sure this number is only going to get bigger in the months to come,” says Michael

Siyatskyy, CharterCli­ck’s Head of Content Curation.

The service started with only four boats in their fleet and a single partnershi­p agreement with a charter provider, but now has 34 boats available on its Dubaian website, along with more than 10 charter companies, who have signed an agreement to be represente­d on CharterCli­ck.com

“We are really trying to implement every single suggestion that our partners have in mind - after all, it’s them who are being in control of their own fleet, we are just giving them the most comfortabl­e tools on the market, and a space to be advertised on,” says Business Developmen­t Executive Nick Doroshenko

CharterCli­ck is in the process of doing some final preparatio­ns to fully launch a Phase II, by opening a branch in Muscat, Oman. The plans to be represente­d in Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar have already been finalised.

“We are very excited about the things to come,” says

Vlad Mozharov, Managing Director, CharterCli­ck. “While we are only living through the early days of the Phase II, we already have something in mind for the upcoming Phase III of our expansion. And without giving too much away, let’s just say we feel very confident about introducin­g CharterCli­ck overseas.”
