Online marketplace for booking yachts and marine activities
About Waves
Waves is a Kuwait-based travel technology company that operates an online marketplace for booking sea trips, marine activities, and chalets. Founded in 2021 by Abdulrahman Al-Sadoun (CEO) and Sulaiman Altunaib (CFO), the company aims to digitalize the marine tourism sector. The platform allows users to book yachts, order food and marine equipment for their cruise, and arrange other marine-related services.
The application is available on both iOS and Android devices and serves customers in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. The business model operates as a marketplace, facilitating transactions between yacht owners or service providers and end-users. In June 2024, Waves secured an undisclosed amount in a seed funding round co-led by BNK Capital and Aujan Group Holding to enhance its services, particularly in Saudi Arabia.
