Boatbookings.com to Offer Real-Time Charter Yacht Availability, Launches "Boatbookings.com Direct" Extranet Technology

Boatbookings.com, the worldwide leader in online yacht charter, is delighted to announce that it now offers "Real Time" Availability of yachts on the website. This new capability allows users to see immediately if a yacht or boat is available, dramatically improving efficiency of the booking process. This new capability is a result of the recent launch of "Boatbookings Direct" an Extranet product that allows yacht owners and central agents to log on and manage the yachts directly on the site.

Tom Virden, MD of Boatbookings.com, noted "Our guiding principle is to use technology wherever possible to make the charter process easier, clearer and more efficient for our users. We're delighted to have many of our best charter partners using the extranet, so that they can more efficiently market their yachts. Through the "Boatbookings.com Direct" Extranet, they can not only put their availability online, they can also add specials, change prices, add customer testimonials, add images and enhance boat descriptions so that their boat is marketed the way they want. We've had an enormously positive response to this product in the testing phase and are happy to make it available now to all of our suppliers."

Details of the program and sign up procedures can be seen here. All Boatbookings.com suppliers are already signed up and active, all they need to do is let us know they want to use it and they can be online in just a few minutes.
