Families have discovered that a day on the water sightseeing or enjoying nature is a good way to bond together and build memories.
(1888PressRelease) December 23, 2008 - Charleston, SC - Recently released from beta testing, USOBE.com (Ultimate Source of Boating Excursions) is a website that helps customers search for, find and book boating excursions online in real time. It makes booking a boat as easy as renting a car.
Boating has been traditionally thought of as fishing by many, yet according to the 2002 census, fishing was only 24% of the billion dollar industry with sightseeing leading the way at 74%. Families have discovered that a day on the water sightseeing or enjoying nature is a good way to bond together and build memories. Arlene Smith-Spivy, A USOBE customer, is quoted as saying “Our busy lives make it difficult to get away from being so plugged in to cell phones, computers and video games to have the quality of life we once had”. Arlene and her family are typical of families wanting to take a day away from the stresses of everyday life to get away and enjoy some quality family time.
This site conveniently offers tourist the opportunity to do more than look at the ocean while they are on vacation. It offers them the convenience to schedule an excursion easily. There are a wide variety of excursions to choose from. While, most Captains offer fishing, many offer sightseeing, a romantic sunset cruise to a local seafood restaurant by water, a cruise around the coastline to sightsee, or an eco-tour to learn about nature.
USOBE offers captains the support they need to be able to spend more time doing what they enjoy – being on the water. USOBE functions as a nationwide reservation desk that prides itself on service. They communicate with the captains and customers and coordinate schedules. They also offer the captain marketing and admin support.
The founder of USOBE, Vickie Waller, along with her husband, Captain Michael Waller, has been in the charter business for 6 years and operates boats out of Charleston SC. In arranging other captains for trips, it became very apparent all captains weren’t the same. They realize how difficult it is for the customer to know which captain to book with. Some captains are not really gifted with the patience to teach children while others thrive on helping children learn to fish. Some captains were more responsible with their preparation for a trip than others. Some really wanted the serious fisherman, others enjoyed the families. In designing this site, they wanted each captain to be able to share what they specialize in. They also wanted the customer to be able to find out about the captains accomplishments and have ratings for the captains. Just like there are 5 star and 2 star hotels, there are five star and two star captains. Just like in other industries, the price you pay should reflect the quality you get. The site has ratings built in and as trip history gets built, so will ratings.
