## User Challenges

Users faced difficulties comparing yacht rental options, lacked clear budget control, and had limited interaction with activity-based travel choices. The booking process was fragmented, reducing satisfaction and engagement.

## Key Pain points

### Limited Activity Preferences

The app did not consider user activity choices like diving or fishing, which lowered engagement and retention rates.

### Lack Of Clear Budget Control

Users could not easily set or filter by budget, leading to wasted time and confusion when browsing available yachts. This reduced conversion rates.
