Yacht Pipit

[Niki491]

I'm Niki, the owner and host of my sailing Yacht Pipit in Kavala, Greece. My 11.4m,  2-cabin boat is offered as accomodation in the middle of the port of Kavala, and for sailing cruises in the Golf of Kavala and Thassos island. I would love to connect with other hosts in the city of Kavala and/or other hosts of boat accomodation from any part of the world for exchange of experience and ideas.

Your going to do awesome the Airbnb market wants special and a yacht is a rare chance.

Look at offering an Airbnb Experience for the tours because that opens another market for you.  I think you have a big local market that loves boats and sailing but most of us don't own a boat haha.  I think you can require staying on your yacht.  So two opportunities to be seen because you can drive a big boat.

The family from Turkey that booked  tonight asked also for a short sailing cruise tomorrow morning. I believe they gonna love it and never forget!

I tried to add the sailing Exerience in Airbnb but initially rejected without mentioning the reason. I rephrased description and applied again. Hope it will go through. Sailing cruises are as import for me as accomodation and can be separated.

The Experience tool is also oversimplified. Offers only priming per person, but for sailing tours only pricing per trip  apply (for 11-6 passengers).

It allows Experiencies with max 120 min, but this is the minimum for a sailing tour that can be for several hours and destinations.

Hope it will be developed farther in the future.

Yes, too much work and gas for that short.  A suggestion because the Airbnb market can have over expectations haha.  

Set up that you want a commitment for a sail prior to check in so you can plan your schedule.  Then send a request for the additional payment and the Guest pays through Airbnb and you have the money.  Write a Quikreply that you can schedule right after approval to sell your sailing option.  That is just the preferred if the after check in you can still sell just makes life easier. lol

To pick up the local market. Set up the Airbnb Custom Link.  It has a copy link, then all the community social nedia pages that allow business ads post the link and you have your cover photo and title that if someone clicks on they come to your listing.  You have a beauriful Yacht.
