Professional Marine Page Overview

We are pleased to introduce our newest advertising and e-business product, the Professional Marine PageTM. Since 1995, YachtWorld.com has been the leader in e-business solutions for yacht brokers and boat dealers. Now YachtWorld offers a powerful online marketing tool, the Professional Marine Page, to all marine professionals including individual yacht broker/salespeople, surveyors, marinas, fishing guides and other marine product and service businesses.

Sample PMP

  1. Start with a Web page like this
  2. Add in your domain name such as:
    www.jonhoweyachtbroker.com
  3. And a matching email alias like this
    jon@jonhoweyachtbroker.com

You get all of the above -- plus a free directory listing in the Boating Yellow PagesTM. All for as little as $39.95 a month (or just $24.95 a month without the domain name) and about 10 minutes of your time.

A Professional Marine Page is a Web site that you can build online yourself in only a few easy steps. In just minutes, you can create a professional, yet affordable Web page that you can edit or make additions to whenever you like as your company changes and grows. Our simple, online sign-up process can help you create a Professional Marine Page packaged with the elements and options most vital to maximizing your Internet presence... all offered at a great price! Click here to view an example of a Professional Marine Page.

Your Professional Marine Page will be linked directly to the most substantial marine directory on the Internet, the Boating Yellow PagesTM at YachtWorld.com. This directory is rich with information about marine businesses, containing over 20,000 personal and company listings. Many of the major Internet search engines and directories regularly crawl through YachtWorld.com, automatically indexing and capturing the Boating Yellow Pages listings for display in their search engines and directories. When you are listed in the Boating Yellow Pages, buyers, marine businesses and Internet search engines come to you! Click here to view a sample Boating Yellow Pages listing.

How do I start?

It couldn't be easier to get started advertising with the World's leading online Yachting destination... YachtWorld.com. After you add your free listing to the Boating Yellow Pages, click on the link Build a Professional Marine Page and we'll walk you though all the steps. First we will ask you to provide a text description about your business. Next, you can add a link to an outside Web site if you would like. Then preview your new Professional Marine Page where you'll notice that we have added a temporary logo with your company name at the top of your Web page along with a sample photo. Please note that after your site is activated, you can personalize your page by adding a customized logo and multiple photos or other images. Lastly, you sign the service agreement and provide payment of $24.95/mo or packaged with your own domain name for $39.95/mo. That's all there is to it! Your page will be activated upon receipt of credit card payment. Get started now.

Why should I get a Domain Name?

Adding a domain name to your Professional Marine Page is the most important thing you can do to maximize your visibility and make it easier for people to find you on the Internet. A domain name allows you to market your business with your own company Web address identity such as http://jonhoweyachtbroker.com, instead of one that may be harder for your customers to remember such as http://pro.yachtworld.com/jhowe. When you get a domain name, we'll also provide you with a matching email alias, such as jon@jonhoweyachtbroker.com, that will forward to your own existing email address. Again, this will make it easy for customers to remember your email address and contact you. It is also important to get your own personal or company name before someone else gets it, robbing you of your hard-earned identity. Read more about domain names.

Now you are ready to build your instant Professional Marine Page, but remember, before you can actually build it, you'll first need to add your personal or company listing to the Boating Yellow Pages. To proceed, choose one of the options below:

  1. If you already have a personal or company listing in the Boating Yellow Pages and you know your password so you can update it before you build your Professional Marine Page, log in to edit your listing. (Did you forget your password?)

  2. If you do not have a listing add your new personal or company listing for free.

Important Note to Yacht Brokers and Sales People:

The Professional Marine Page offer is not available to yacht brokerage firms, boat dealers, boat builders or charter companies with inventory of boats for sale or charter. Our original product allows companies with an inventory of boats for sale or charter to create a web presence, advertise boat inventory in our database of boats for sale and charter, access the co-brokerage MLS and all the BoatWizard tools and more. Read about the products available for these companies.

Additional business rules apply if you are a yacht broker/salesperson/individual. A Professional Marine Page is only offered to yacht brokers/salespeople/individuals who are affiliated with a Yacht Brokerage Firm that is currently a member of YachtWorld.com. Yacht broker/salespeople/individuals who qualify may want to provide a link to the Yacht Brokerage Firm Member Web site in YachtWorld from their Professional Marine Page. If your brokerage house agrees, they can reciprocate and provide a link from their brokerage site to your Professional Marine Page site. Additionally, if your brokerage house agrees, each of your individual central listings advertised in your brokerage house Web site could link to your Professional Marine Page so that visitors can read about the central agent for each particular boat for sale. Boats for sale may not be advertised in a Professional Marine Page.
