Booking a slip at the Sarasota, Florida marina is now as easy as reserving a hotel room.
LONGBOAT KEY, FLA. – Every industry is finding new ways to use technology to their advantage, and Longboat Key Club Moorings has done just that with the launch of its new slip reservations platform. Being one of the first in the marine industry to introduce this option has created a lot of excitement and positive feedback from the Florida marina staff as well as the boaters who can now book a slip as easily as reserving a hotel room.
The traditional system of yield management that the hotel industry has perfected keeps occupancy high and demand in line with consumer trends. Marina professionals can now use the same strategies to keep slips full and boating customers happy with the ability to make reservations easily.
Access the Sarasota marina website from a mobile device, tablet, laptop or desktop at LongboatKeyMarina.com and select arrival and departure dates as well as a slip. An email confirmation is then sent in minutes.
“Longboat Key Club Moorings has always been known as an exclusive and beautiful destination for the boating public,” said Dennis Matthews, Director of Marina Operations. “With 291 slips and a full array of amenities, we are in the top echelon of marinas in North America. With such a sophisticated and technologically astute customer, it is imperative that we keep pace with options that make travel decisions easier and available to our guests via their preferred method of communication. We live in an era of fast-paced communications and instant information. I am thrilled that our Florida marina is one of the first to roll out such a program for our customers.”
Jeff Mayers, General Manager of The Resort at Longboat Key Club, is proud to have Longboat Key Club Moorings as part of his resort’s amenities.
“Longboat Key Club Moorings stands out in the boating industry for its outstanding and beautiful location and quality of service that guests experience once they arrive,” he said. “Given my extensive background as a hotelier, it is thrilling to see technology and business applications utilized in non-traditional ways. We take great pride in our outstanding track record in the areas of guest service, and that includes the very first interaction our guest has with our brand.”
