World-Renowned Expertise
We have built a sterling reputation for delivering exceptional sailing and yachting holidays consistently. Our success begins with our deep expertise in systems and boat design, reinforced by an exclusive partnership with builders Robertson & Caine.
From the outset, we design our products with chartering in mind. Even for monohulls sourced from third-party builders, we customize them for the rigors of chartering. This customization is pivotal because off-the-shelf boats aren’t equipped to handle the demands of the charter business. Across all our bases, our dedicated staff are trained to the highest standards in customer service and technical know-how for maintaining and servicing your yacht.
Moreover, our local managers are overseen by country and regional managers, all accountable to the Vice President of Operations. We also have specialists in distribution and yield management, ensuring optimal occupancy levels. This isn’t just beneficial; it’s fundamental to our commitment to owners, guaranteeing revenue payments, investing in infrastructure, and upholding yacht maintenance.
Crucially, Travelopia owns the maintenance yard and hauling facility in the BVI. This ownership grants us control over maintenance costs and enables us to conduct annual maintenance and emergency repairs onsite, particularly for catamarans, ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing downtime.
Unmatched Value
Within Travelopia, we boast ownership of The Moorings and Sunsail, as well as a 30-year exclusive partnership for Leopard Catamarans with builder Robertson and Caine. This collectively cements us as the foremost yacht sales entity globally. When it comes to boat sales, no one surpasses our market dominance. Our unrivaled vertical integration, extensive sales volume, and streamlined logistics equate to unparalleled value for buyers.
With our enduring partnership with Robertson and Caine and a direct distribution model for catamarans, combined with our comprehensive purchasing approach, we have crafted a business model that positions us as the only source for Leopard Catamarans worldwide. Our substantial sales volume in both catamarans and monohulls also allows us to offer competitive pricing. By annually pre-purchasing our inventory, we maximize cost efficiencies. These boats undergo meticulous upgrades to meet the rigorous demands of the charter business, delivering unmatched value compared to third-party brands.
