Boatbookings.com announces record quarter, strong growth in Greece, Turkey, Asia and Indian Ocean

Boatbookings.com is pleased to announce the completion of their largest quarter ever in the July - September Quarter 2008. Site traffic, visitors, charters booked, transaction value and revenues all were at record highs for the fast growing company. All of these numbers were over double from 2007, and Asia and Indian Ocean were up exponentially due to investment in those regions.

         

“We are delighted to have  completed such a successful summer chartering season worldwide.” Tom Virden, Managing Director, announced. “Bookings in the critical Mediterranean high season were extremely strong across the line. The French Riviera doubled for us while the areas we've invested in such as Turkey, Greece, and Sardinia all more than tripled. We saw tremendous growth in Asia - primarily Thailand and Singapore - as well as  Indian Ocean  locations such as the Seychelles, Mauritius and the Maldives. Having recently opened offices there, we are happy to see growth come so quickly. ”

         

“We believe this growth is due to the  implementation of our strategy of local expansion, whereby we  place local expert representatives close to the boats. This means that we know the markets, yachts, crew and destinations and are therefore better able to cater to the needs of our clients.”

         

Site traffic continued its strong growth, reaching the mark of over 1 million page views for the first time in August. The average visitor to Boatbookings.com viewed 15 pages, which is far above the industry average of less than 5.

         

“We are delighted that our content is compelling enough to retain the attention of visitors to our site to that degree; we are continuously adding great content to provide interesting, informative, and fresh information to our charter clients. Expect to see lots more great content, icluding video and multimedia, as the year progresses” Virden added.
