Boatbookings.com Launches Redesigned, Upgraded Website

 
Boatbookings.com, one of the world’s fastest growing internet-based yacht charter companies, is delighted to announce the launch of its sparkling new website, completely upgraded to make chartering online straightforward and simple. The website - www.boatbookings.com - makes it easier than ever for anyone looking for a yacht charter to find their perfect boat by combining destination content, chartering advice and quick ways of finding yachts that fit the user’s individual criteria.

Managing Director of Boatbookings.Com, Tom Virden, encourages anyone who loves sailing and the sea to have a look around. “We aim to be the ‘one stop shop’ for quality boat charter globally. We offer more than 5000 fabulous charter boats worldwide, with more being added every day - there is something for everyone, whatever the occasion,” says Mr Virden.

“Boatbookings.com is the only website you’ll need for a fast, high quality and cost-effective charter booking. We provide impartial advice, quality yachts and great value. We do all the leg work so you don’t have to - and have done extensive user testing to assure the site is easy to use” 

Currently the website offers more than 5000 boats for charter in many of the world’s most popular yachting destinations, including the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and beyond. The boats range in length from 30 to 300 feet - and include sail, motor and catamarans, both crewed and bareboat.

Visitors to the site can see the number and type of boats that are offered, on a daily, weekend, or weekly basis; they can request availability, view various specifications, rates and locations; browse sample itineraries; and examine exterior and interior photographs as well as floor plans/layouts, before making a booking.

“We rode the crest of the wave this summer season with record numbers of boat bookings fulfilled, and are seeing significant demand for the Caribbean, especially for British Virgin Islands charters and the upcoming Cricket World Cup. We will continue to source boats located in popular yachting destinations the world over to include on our website.” 

As with any holiday type booking, Mr Virden recommends that people plan their boat booking well in advance of their scheduled departure date, if possible, to avoid disappointment if a chosen boat is already reserved. Often however, there are great last minute deals available for people who wish to head out to sea on a whim.
