Description:
Unbeatable atmosphere, unique flexibility, and the ability to offer an endless list of service options is the promise of Yacht Entertainment Services to our clients. Based out of San Diego, Y.E.S. strives to be the premiere mega yacht charter that can also operate as a commercial and passenger rated vessel. Simply stated, our ship will offer all the luxury of a pleasure rated private super yacht, but will have the passenger rating to allow more guests to enjoy everything the ship offers. For the first time, groups will have the opportunity to enjoy boats that were only meant for the rich and famous. ( I will gladly break down yacht ratings upon request.)
Yacht Entertainment Services will be a year round force as both a high end charter service, and special events venue catering to hundreds of possible uses. What will make us a force in the yachting, and special events scene is our ability to go to clients, or have clients come to us. We can customize every event to meet one's specific needs. Y.E.S. can adapt to any request because we are not limited to any one location, or service.
The yacht for sale that I'm hoping to aquire has a built in client charter that brings in 1 million annually per summer, and was featured in the movie X-men: First Class. I am in talks with promotion companies to bring events to the boat on a regular basis, and build lasting relationships. The yacht location is walkable from anywhere in downtown San Diego. Our flexibility to serve clients in Orange County, and Los Angeles with only a few hours notice allows us to open up business to other areas creating, and capturing business while making a name for ourselves.
After completion of the yacht refit, the vessel will instantly gain value, and create more wealth within the company. Our service can span months,weeks,days, and hours at a time providing unmatched ambiance while operating around majestic islands, beautiful harbors, epic sunsets, and star filled skies. Yacht Entertainment Services plans on offering a truly luxurious experience, but with our unique rating we can make this cost effective not just to the rich, but for groups who can split the cost, and get more value for their dollar. I also have an online campaign on tap that can drive business our way, and help us build momentum. My networking ability and knowledge of key demographics will be the final piece of the puzzle to getting us out of the gate quickly, while having magazines, promotion companies, clubs, and others know that we are open for business.
Thank you for your time. I would appreciate any feedback, or suggestions. Upon request I can also go much more in depth about what services we can offer. Feel free to look me up on LinkedIn, and read a little about my background which I feel translates perfectly to this type of venture. Thank you
