CHARTER INDEX ONLINE - HOW IT WORKS

The Online system has been designed exclusively for professional users and is therefore not cluttered with flashing banners, scrolling advertisements or multicoloured tables and displays.

It contains more comprehensive textual information on listed yachts than any other system - including dynamic rates and availability (bookings) data which is updated on an ongoing basis - and hundreds of high quality Electronic Brochures.

Users are able to specify precisely what they are looking for via ‘basic’ or ‘advanced’ search engines. For example, if a client specifies dates and a price range and requests a non smoking vessel with a Kosher kitchen, a helipad, a satellite telephone, a certified dive instructor and a jacuzzi on deck - the ‘advanced’ search engine will find an appropriate yacht that is available within the price range, without the user having to scan every possible listing.

Alternatively, Users are able to gain immediate access to specific yachts or yachts represented by specific Central Agents. The database is fully relational and therefore searchable from almost every angle.

    Other facilities and data include

  • Printable and emailable specifications for all yachts. Reports are produced without Central Agent contact data, to enable Charter Agency users to preserve and enhance their own brands and to ensure that retail clients are not distracted by System or Central Agent branding.

  • Printable and emailable electronic brochures or brochure urls. Charter Index electronic brochure urls do not 'expire' and the brochures themselves do not carry System branding or Central Agency contact information.

  • General automatic email facilities across the industry

  • ‘Specials’ indicator for yachts which have something urgent to say

  • Directories of Charter Agents, Yachts, Electronic Brochures, Operating Area Maps and Ports

  • Industry Bulletin Board listing choices of industry news, Central Agent announcements, etc.
