Seaya: from first sketch to two app stores.
Seaya is a cruise social app on iOS and Android. We designed it. We built it. We shipped it to both stores. Here is how.

The challenge.
Cruisers want to meet people before they board.
Then the ship docks, everyone flies home, and the connections fade. They want to stay in touch across sailings, not lose people at the gangway.
No app was built for that. So we built one.
What we built.
Four pillars, one app. The screens are from Seaya on the App Store.
02 Chat
Plans made before boarding.
Messaging. Real time chat between cruisers.
03 Profiles
Your seamates, found.
Profiles. A unified cruise history.
04 Commerce
Offers for the trip ahead.
Commerce. In app partners and offers.
How we built it.
A small team, a modern stack and a lot of shipping.
- 01
Flutter
One codebase. Two app stores. Every feature ships to iOS and Android together.
- 02
Firebase
Real time data and sign in on the backend, so feeds and messages update live.
- 03
Custom solutions
Where off the shelf tools stop, we build our own.
Inside the app.
The screens cruisers see on the App Store and Google Play.
A full product, built in phases.
Seaya is a whole product: a social network, real time messaging and two app stores. We built it phase by phase, and every phase shipped in two week sprints, the same way we run yours. A client sprint is one of those slices, with a fixed scope and a fixed price.
- Phase 1, design
UI and UX for the whole app.
- Phase 2, build
Development in two week sprints.
- Launch, iOS
Live on the Apple App Store.
- Launch, Android

- TodayPhase 3, grow
Thousands of users and growing. Captain, an AI companion, is in development.

Meet Captain.
An AI companion for cruisers, built into Seaya.Captain is the AI chatbot companion we are building into Seaya, for the people who live for their next sailing.
The idea is simple: one place to ask, connect and plan, before you board and long after you dock.
Captain is in development now. We will share more when it ships.
The bigger goal: make Seaya the app people use when they cruise.
The team that built Seaya runs your sprint.
Same process: a tight scope, a fixed price and daily updates. Two week sprints from $7,500, scoped within 24 hours of your call.
Need an AI feature like Captain? That is our AI integration sprint.
