Alex, why should I e-mail you with my requests if, as you claim, you don't charter yachts. What sort of reply could I expect ?

Answer
You can question me on any yachting related matters. If your question is of a general nature - e.g. what is the sea temperature in the Ionian in May - I will answer you directly to the best of my ability.

If your question is related to a future yacht charter booking, of whatever sort, I will put you in touch with one or more reputable owners or agencies, whose yachts would match up to your requirements.  From that point you can continue your enquiries with them direct.

As I am not earning a commission on such transactions, I will direct you to the most reliable contacts, based on my years of experience in the business.
 

OK Alex, that all sounds very good, but these days you don't get something for nothing. What's the catch ? What's in it for you ?

Answer
Good question. @lmiyachts.com is no longer a yacht charter agency but is an informative and introductory intermediary - you will not have failed to notice advertisements on the pages of our website. On the internet, the price that can be commanded for advertisements is directly related to the visitors, or "hits" a site, and its advertisers, attract.  The greater number of visitors the more advertisers I will attract and the greater will be my advertising fee.

If I can convince you that almiyachts.com is worth your visit, then I have succeeded.  By giving you good, solid, worthwhile information the more times you will return to the site. You will tell your friends about it, ask for our regular Newsletter, participate in our blog, or simply send me an e-mail. You will thereby contribute further to the success of @lmiyachts.com, simply because you will receive an honest answer to your questions and free information to all yachting matters.

I never forget: - if you look after the product and the customer, the bottom line will look after itself!!
 

Do I want money from you for all the effort I am putting into the services provided?

• Not a single penny -or cent!

Do I ask you for personal details to pass on to other service promoters - giving away your identity - in order to provide you with answers ?

• Not at all.  @lmiyachts.com is, and always will be, a free site, accessible by everyone. You will not find the usual "login" or "password" to access (except our advertisers section), nor are there hidden pages.

But I would like you to do one, or all, of the following:

• Bookmark and visit @lmiyachts.com on a regular basis.  Why not?  Each time you will see new pages, with lots of new and interesting information.  I take it for granted you are a "yottie" - or you wouldn't be reading this page so far.

• Ask for our regular Newsletter.  You will receive free, and on a monthly basis, the most important boating revelations.  I will never spam your privacy (the Constant Contact firm I use to distribute the Newsletter guarantees you that).  The boating community is large and , therefore, you will be prompted upon signing to select categories that are of particular interest to you personally.  You will receive my Newsletter only if, and when, it matches your needs - if you tick the "general" category you will receive it on a regular monthly basis.

• Tell a friend about our site.  Word of mouth is the best, and cheapest, form of advertising - and most effective and rewarding.  If he/she shares your interests, then they will be delighted for your recommendation.

• Participate in our Blogs.  The bloging experience is about not only putting your thoughts forward on to the web, but getting a feed-back from other like-minded folks.

• Last -but not least- send me an e-mail.  I can only provide the things you want to hear, if you tell me about them. I will be pleased to reply and assist you wherever possible.
