Investor Testimonial . . .

"We have a 12 meter fiberglass catamaran named Meridian. For a little over a year now we have had it working with the Tropic Sail charter boat fleet here in Townsville.  The decision to put the boat into a commercial charter fleet was a difficult one, but looking back over the year we are very glad now that we made that decision. 

The Townsville region offers some great sailing and cruising grounds and is not crowded out like the Whitsundays. This suits us fine because when we go sailing we want to get away from everyone else for a while.

But the main thing is that now we are starting to see a profit from this exercise and the boat is in better condition than it was when it first joined the fleet.  It has been easy to work together with the Tropic Sail crew in maintaining the boat and rectifying problems as they arise and the staff make sure that she is spick and span for every charter.

I am a hands-on person and as I live in Townsville, I like to personally get involved with much of the vessel's maintenance. This working relationship with Tropic Sail has worked well for us. But I feel you can confidently rely on the Tropic Sail crew to maintain your boat in top working condition if that is your desire.

I am amazed at their advertising and promotional abilities and wonder how they keep plucking clients out of thin air.  But the bookings are now coming in thick and fast (despite the economic meltdown) and I feel having additional vessels in the fleet here will add to the capacity of the fleet and improve the overall image of the region - to every one's benefit."
