Modular in concept but tailored to each specific site, Seafloatech Pod can be used to moor a broad range of pleasure boats (singly or in groups) up to cruise vessel size. It can also be used as a platform for residential homes, for aquaculture and fisheries, and incorporate multi-use elements, such as service areas, waiting rooms, changing rooms or shops. When designing each installation, the pod team takes the specific local environment, seabed, wind, waves, tides and swell into account in order to meet client needs and optimise every solution. All parts are guaranteed for ten years and manufacture is undertaken locally in order to minimise transport costs and carbon footprint. The Seafloatech development team – a mix of experienced navigators, sailors and ocean engineers – is targeting councils, municipalities, marina owners and developers, resorts and port authorities where the pod concept can optimise dedicated mooring areas, either permanently or seasonally; boost income in coastal towns with anchorages but no harbour; and host nautical events and meetings as a temporary station. Pods can also be used to relocate facilities like reception areas, clubhouses and guest services to avoid congestion in high season. Further to several months of testing in the Gulf of Saint-Tropez in the South of France, the product will be launched to the international market at the Marine Recreation Association (MRA) conference and trade show in San Diego, California (21st-23rd October) and the International Marina & Boatyard Conference, Fort Lauderdale, Florida (14th-16th January 2020). E: contact@seafloatech.com Managing charter fleets online US-based Boatsetter has launched Charter Genius, a Software as a Service (SaaS) offering designed for commercial charter and rental operations. The fleet management software works with the company’s own online platform. Available for desktop and mobile devices, Charter Genius is an easy to use, web-based tool that enables fleet managers to record and track maintenance, and oversee availability and bookings. Its calendar syncs in real time with Boatsetter’s, giving fleet owners the ability to instantly increase bookings while managing boats on the same system. Easily integrated into any website, the product has built-in reports and analytics that provide insights into profit and loss margins on each boat, and the charter business as a whole, to keep it on a steady growth trajectory. There are no monthly charges, just a small transaction fee that includes credit card processing costs. Chief growth officer, Julien Geffriaud, believes the new software will fill a gap in the market. “Charter operators repeatedly voice their frustration about fleet management,” he says. “Charter Genius provides them with a powerful tool to regain control over their inventory and increases the exposure of their company and vessels by listing on our site.” E: contact@boatsetter.com 58 www.marinaworld.com - May/June 2019
