Groupon – like special offers are coming to CharterClick

Well, we all know about Groupon, right? That special place where we go to when we need that brunch, but the paycheck is still a week away. That guilty pleasure, that we rarely talk about with our friends. Most people usually use Groupon for restaurant or hotel deals - at least that’s what statistics says. But it’s not quite surprising, that recently the infamous website has seen a significant rise in Groupon yacht charter inquiries, especially here in Dubai. Seems like service providers have finally figured out the way to advertise their services through Groupon sales model, and people are eagerly taking advantage of that. But what if we told you, that there is an even easier way to find a better yacht cruise deal in Dubai? Using Groupon boat rental services is, of course, cheap, but there’s a catch that comes with that price - you can’t quite be sure what you are getting. Intrigued? Well, let us explain.

After you have purchased a coupon for a yacht rental services on Groupon, you still need to reconfirm a couple of things. First of all, the time and the date of your trip are not fixed yet (unless both are specified in the deal’s name). So there’s a big chance that you will not be able to apply that sweet discount for a sundowner on a Friday evening - yacht operators are usually selling those time slots for a full price far in advance. That’s why your cruise preparations are just getting started with you buying a coupon - you will then need to confirm the time and date of your trip with a service provider, and that’s where most of the problems may occur. This, of course, would not happen with a hotel or a restaurant reservation, because management will be able to get around that by giving you another room or a table. But when it comes to yacht cruises in Dubai (or, really, anywhere else), you have to be completely sure of what you are booking and paying for.

But lucky for you, it seems like we could finally figure this whole thing out by introducing a real time booking procedure. It’s really simple - you first need to enter the date of your trip, time you would like to start, duration and the number of people you are bringing along. Some may find entering this much data unnecessary - they just want to see the price of a boat. And that’s where it starts getting really exciting - if you are booking your yacht cruise on CharterClick, you are not going to be paying per person, you are going to be paying per hour/per boat. That’s right, we don’t care whether you just want an intimate dinner with your significant other, or a no holds barred birthday bash - the price will stay the same. That is the reason we need all that information from you - to give you the list of the boats that would be available at the time you want, for the duration you want and would be big enough to accommodate all the people you are going to bring with you. So if you see the boat in the search list after entering all that data, that could only mean one thing - you can book it straight away. You don’t have to call us and reconfirm. Seems like the price is too good to be true? Well, that’s because we are working directly with people who are running those boats, and do not apply any additional value to the price. You see that 80ft boat available on Friday during the sunset hours? Well, what are you waiting for - go book it, or somebody else will. Because our Dubai fleet is being updated in real time, the boat can be booked literally in a matter of minutes by anyone. So if you don’t see a boat in your search list, we are very sorry - it seems like it has been already booked by somebody else.

And if it all doesn’t sound awesome enough, wait till we tell you a little bit more. We are preparing something very interesting for our customers, and would like to give you a little preview.
