Sunsail's 35th Birthday celebration

by Media Services on 14 May 2009 Happy 35th Birthday Sunsail!

The world's leading sailing holiday company turns 35 this year and to celebrate, it's giving away money!

Sunsail Yacht Charters was established in 1974 and has grown into the world's largest sailing holiday company with almost 1,000 yachts in 29 of the world's most beautiful cruising grounds across 20 countries.

And to celebrate its 35th birthday, Sunsail is giving holidaymakers a $35 bonus discount off all new charter bookings - at any of their worldwide bases - confirmed from June 1 onwards, until the end of the year.*

All you have to do is say 'Happy 35th Birthday Sunsail' when you call, or put it in the subject box when you email!

The $35 discount is in addition to all other discounts including Sunsail's 'book early' discount, the 'extended stay' discount (14+ days) and repeat charterer loyalty discount.

'We are very excited to be celebrating our 35th birthday and we want to share that with our customers,' said Sunsail's marketing manager Kim Lehmann.

'With all the other discounts our customers are eligible for - and some really low airfares at the moment - sailing with Sunsail is a very attractive holiday option.'

Sunsail's Australian base is located on Hamilton Island in the heart of the Whitsunday Islands cruising ground.

Flights arrive every day from major cities into Hamilton Island Airport and with the Sunsail base just three-minutes away in the air-conditioned courtesy bus, guests can be on their boat and sailing out the marina within a couple of hours, following the safety briefing. Sunsail can even provision the boat for guests saving yet more time.

Sunsail's fleet of high-specification luxury yachts and catamarans cater for every kind of sailing experience and holiday, and yachts can be hired with or without a skipper.

Guests' comfort is as important as the safety and performance of the yachts, which are built to Sunsail's exacting standards in conjunction with the world's top yacht designers.
