We are transparent about how we are capable of offering this – we limit our membership in relation to the number of boats we have, and each member is only allowed to make 1 booking on the weekend to offer a fair usage policy. E.g. If we have 10 boats and 6 booking slots on Saturday & Sunday (morning, afternoon, evening), then we have a total of 60 slots on the weekend. As we limit our membership, this allows us to offer every single member a booking on the weekend.
We offer 2 advanced bookings only instead of 3 or 4. This might sound like less value, but our main priority is to make sure our members always have availability (explained above) and also to make sure that our members get the type of boat they are looking for. If members have too many advanced bookings, then they tend to lock up their favorite boat for consecutive weekends, which is unfair for other members. Having less advanced bookings opens up the schedule and you will see a lot more availability on short notice. If you are still skeptical please ask one of our sales representatives to show you our booking system, we are extremely transparent, and we will happily show you that this is very effective.
