Reel Excitement Charters is a full-stack charter booking and lodge management web application built for a Shell Beach, Louisiana fishing business. Guests browse marketing pages, check calendar availability, complete a multi-step charter and lodge booking flow with Square checkout, and manage trips in a self-service portal. Staff use an authenticated admin console backed by Sanity CMS, Resend email, and Neon/Drizzle auth data. Distributed as a web app and Progressive Web App — not as multi-tenant SaaS or native store apps.
