DICKIES INTERNATIONAL CRUISING CLUB
09 October 2007
Cowes, Weymouth, Dartmouth, Poole, Bembridge….
Our aim is to encourage new and existing Beneteau Power owners to join in on 4 planned cruises each year.
Russell Heath the Manager at Brighton developed the Cruising Club, with the help of his team, to encourage customers to get out and use their Beneteau boats, within an organised and social environment.
With our first season of cruises under our belt, we are delighted to announce that not only has the cruising club had some fantastic cruises, it has also been very well received.
Russell comments “We sell the Antares, Flyer and Trawler ranges at Brighton, all of these models are designed to be safe, versatile & seaworthy vessels, built to handle lively conditions. With their flared bows and trawler originated hulls, they make the perfect cruising boat. We want not only to sell our customers boats, but also encourage them to get out and use them. It’s a good opportunity to mix with our customers and enjoy the very reason why they bought a boat”
Each cruise offers a challenge whether it be coastal hopping or Channel crossing Dickies engineer and Yacht Master Chris Philp leads each cruise providing all participants with detailed passage plans, providing the ideal opportunity for first-timers or experienced owners to cruise to destinations in company of others.
We organized 4 cruises this year: Cowes, Fecamp, The West Country and Bembridge. The 2008 Cruising Club dates will be confirmed early in the new year, but we plan to include the Channel Islands, Bembridge, West country and our old favourite, Cowes.
Cruising Club feedback…...
Dear Russell, Chris & Co—We would like to say a big thank you for the great time we had on the West Country Cruise. This has now given us the confidence to make full use of our boat! Our grand-children have not stopped speaking of the enjoyment that they have had and we have all made some great friendships. We are so looking forward to next seasons cruises……
