Yate – Boat/Yacht Booking Platform

🧩 Installation Guide

1. Download the Yate script package from the marketplace. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}
2. Upload files to your hosting environment (document-root or sub-folder).
3. Create MySQL database and user; update the .env file with DB credentials, app URL, mail and payment settings.
4. Run Laravel migrations & seeders (if applicable) to set up schema.
5. Log into the admin panel, configure boats/fleet, set pricing, rental rules, payment gateways and booking durations.
6. Test booking flow: check front-end customer selects boat → date/time → payment → confirmation; also test backend booking list and cancellations.
7. Go live: set APP_DEBUG=false, enable SSL, backup database regularly and monitor booking transactions.

Tip: Use a staging server first and test seasonal pricing, multiple durations and cancellation scenarios specific to your region (Bangladesh coast, island charters) before going public.

🧠 Notes

• License: Be sure the copy you obtain is legitimately licensed from the original developer to receive updates and support. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}
• Customization: Especially for your market (Bangladesh or South-Asia), you may want to adjust currency (TK), local payment gateways (bKash, Nagad), translate UI to Bengali, and integrate local charter conditions (boat safety, tide schedules).
• Security & Compliance: For charter bookings with payments, ensure SSL, secure bookings, data protection, and clear cancelation/refund policy for your users.
• SEO Assurance: Although focused on bookings, ensure your public website pages (fleet listing, destination, blog) are SEO-optimized with descriptive titles, schema markup for “boat rental”, “yacht charter”, and your local region (e.g., Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh) so you attract organic traffic.
