Today we’d like to introduce you to Steffen Brunn.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Yachtico started 2011 in Europe. In 2015 Yachtico was headquartered in Boca Raton Florida and called the “Expedia for Yachts” in the news. Yachtico did grow from 0 to more than 16,000 yachts globally. Yachtico brings technology to the yacht charter industry. All yachts, prices, high-quality pictures, and availabilities are online on www.YACHTICO.com. That’s unique.
Has it been a smooth road?
We are a travel technology company with a focus on week-long yacht vacations starting as little as $500 per person per week. A lot of our customers couldn’t believe that a sailing vacation can be so affordable and that booking a yacht vacation can be made 100% online on Yachtico.com.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Yachtico story. Tell us more about the business.
With more than 16,000 sailboats, motor yachts, catamarans, and houseboats Yachtico is world’s #1 in online yacht vacations. With more than 2,200 destinations Yachtico has on of the largest selection of pre-vetted, fully insured yachts. All yachts are maintained by one of the +1,200 professional charter companies we have partnered with. Every single yacht can be optionally booked with a captain or a full crew. Our international customer service team speaks English, German, Polish, Russian, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
Yachtico will help to transform the yacht charter industry into a technology supported industry. The customer will have all choices at his fingertips. Charter companies who are not investing in technology will go out of business. Yachtico is here to help those charter operators to increase sales and profitability with the help of technology.
