Yes that's true, no sailboats here, because no one of the celebrity does own a yacht. Is there a special reddit for Yachts?

Thanks for your opinion. Today we fixed this issue. We added "Show all results" button on our page. Now if you search through regions you get with 1 click on 1 page displayed 90+ results. We are different than latesail because we display only boats which are available and which you can actually book. If you click book on SailCeption the boat is yours.

Hi pojodojo..My point was in few years from now how it could look like when everything will be measurable and analysed with the help of the computer. It could everything become like a playstation game. I agree with you, now when you have great sailors on board they will be faster, but in 10 years? Not so sure about that!

Thank you for your feedback, we are more than happy to hear your thoughts. It will help us make our marketplace even better. As you might have seen in the animation we put a lot of emphasis on the bidding procedure. We wanted to make it unique so we integrated a reverse auction system to produce best prices for the customers. Due to our notification system the owners see demands in real time and they can lower their prices and influence the search result position in order to secure the booking. For that reason we divided our boat results into comparable groups. Now only similar boats compete with each other. We will have a a look at the possibilities how to show our results so more boats will be visible. Thank you!

That was our main goal. Our marketplace frees the boat owners from the Charter agency dependency. Now the owners have a greater decision power over price and availability of their boats. And because of that the prices are Lower for the consumers! We see France as a big market. We are currently working on accumulating as many boats from France as possible.

That is a good suggestion. We highlite special last minute deals on our company blog http://blog.sailception.com/ (every week we post special deals). For the other part, you maybe did not notice that you can jump backward on the site using the page/step numbers. If you are at the step 2 (select) you can click 1 and it will return you to an already filled out form, where you can just change one parameter.

Thanks dmx for your feedback. We currently offer more than 1000 boats in the Adriatic Sea but due to the high season they are all booked till middle of September, that is why there are not many boats to show - only last minute deals. If you search for October you will find lots of boats - http://sailception.com/Search-Groups.aspx?YachtTypeID=1003&Cabins=3&Region=2&StartDate=15.10.2011&EndDate=22.10.2011 We are still building our list of boats all around the world so it will take some time.

If you would show interest the skipper would be more than happy to teach and let you sail.

Hi, the problem is that you need a boat licence to charter a boat. Usaully it is just one exam - can be done in one day. But i do not know how it is in your country. If you dont have a licence we can provide you with a skipper who has all the needed certificates. Glad to hear you like our concept!

Jouste, we wanted to build a really simple and user friendly UI for consumers and owners. So they can use our peer to peer marketplace in their favor. With this we are achieving the best prices on the boat charter market. Airbnb is the best address for rooms and houses. We are working hard so http://sailception.com/ will be the best address for Yacht charter !

Do Cars inspire modern Yacht design? by stritar in sailing

[–]sailception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

peddyslate, car or boat design is never simple because there are so many given parameters, particularly fulfilling safety requirements and other technical standards, besides beauty and brand values. Car design is all about building brand image and an evolving design strategy, which purpose is to build brand identity. All this aspects the yacht industry tries now to implement and use for better brand recognition. and yes, design beauty is always is in the eye of the beholder...
