2013 was also very successful and busy for us: we celebrated our 5th anniversary and are very pleased by the popularity of both our printed guides and our website.
We are very thankful to report an ever-growing number of advertisers with a 95% return rate for the Med and the USA guides. Interest in our website continues to grow with unique visitors to yachtinsidersguide.com increasing by 45% in 2013 versus 2012, and also 240% above 2011 levels. If you ‘Google’ the name of your listed company, there is a high chance that yachtinsidersguide.com will be on the first page. We are also number one when you ‘Google’ ‘yacht guide’.
We worked hard at making sure our guides were easy to find in marinas, shipyards, marine retailers and yacht clubs throughout New England, the French and Spanish Med. We had the great honor of having our guides included in the official welcome bags of prestigious regattas in New England and in the Med, including the legendary ‘Voiles de St Tropez’. We were fortunate to attend major yacht shows and to have the immense privilege of being involved in the prestigious Chef’s Competition of the Antigua Yacht Charter Show.
