Yacht Charter Blog on Ulitzer

YachtWorld.com, the world's leading Internet yacht brokerage portal and a division of Dominion Enterprises, today announced the launch of http://www.yachtworldcharters.com, a single, global marketplace for both the yacht charter industry and individual yacht charterer alike.

Benefits for the charterer include a choice of nearly 5,000 vessels in more than 300 destinations worldwide, together with stories and reviews on both boats and destinations. The new site also offers online pricing, availability and reservations together with the ability to receive special offers the moment they become available.

"The sheer choice of boats and destinations, on a global basis, are what sets YachtWorld Charters apart," said Ian Atkins , VP and general manager of YachtWorld.com and Boats.com, when making the announcement. "No one else comes close. Add to this the 2.5 million global visits by boating enthusiasts to YachtWorld each month interested in chartering or buying a boat and you can see why http://www.yachtworldcharters.com is so compelling for both charterers and charter operators."

Benefits for the charter industry include visitor traffic, the ability to manage their inventory on a day to day basis, to display detailed descriptions of each vessel with multiple photographs, provide real-time availability and information about special offers, late availability and cruising areas.

"The Internet is a necessary and powerful route to market for charter providers and http://www.yachtworldcharters.com will deliver not only a global audience but also essential functionality to allow them to manage their businesses more effectively day to day. This includes the option to receive charter enquiries directly or have YachtWorld manage the whole booking process for them," said Robert Corden , commercial director, YachtWorld.com and Boats.com International.
