Boatbookings.com Announces Record Summer Results


Boatbookings.com, a leader in online boat chartering, has experienced a record breaking summer in all areas of its business. For the 3 months June, July August 2006, the company had record visits, visitors, page views, charter requests, bookings and revenues.

"We knew that if we worked hard finding the best boats and yachts throughout the Mediterranean, that we could have a highly successful summer in 2006. I'm happy to announce that we had record sales as a company, with particular success in Ibiza, Mallorca, Sardinia and of course the French Riviera. Even though the weather was unfavorable for much of early August, the business was up 300% on last year. " noted Tom Virden, Founder and Managing Director of Boatbookings.com. "We are especially happy about our customer satisfaction level. We contact every customer directly after their charter, and we have over a 95% satisfaction rate.".

Boatbookings.com invested in a sophisticated Customer Management System prior to the summer which greatly assisted the team to get all of the customers happily on the boats. This included managing thousands of maps, directions, arrival times, payments and other logistics that are critical to a successful charter company. "The system worked beautifully", added Virden, "but of course it was the dedication of our staff that really made the difference for our customers. We're lucky to have a team that cares about every single customer's satisfaction. We want them to come back next year".

Boatbookings.com is now a multi-million dollar/euro operation on two continents. Both European and North American operations run profitably. The "technology assisted" low cost business model allows the company to profitably book all types of charter boats, from day cruisers to bareboat sailboats, to super yachts worldwide.
