Visitors to the home of one of Europe’s largest manmade marinas can take to the seas themselves as VisitEastbourne.com teams up with Sussex Voyages to launch Powerboat Adventures on its online shop.
SovereignHarbour Marina-based Sussex Voyages are the latest Eastbourne business to use VisitEastbourne.com’s successful E-shop to offer online sales.
From the ultimate powerboat adventure to get the wind gushing through your hair to a cruise to Beachy Head and the Seven Sisters or the chance to view the RoyalSovereignLightTower up close, Sussex Voyages offer a choice of experiences through its new gift pack sold online.
Eastbourne Borough Council Cabinet Member for Tourism, Cllr Susan Morris said “We are very excited to launch Sussex Voyages’ Powerboat Experience Gift Pack on VisitEastbourne.com and hope that visitors planning a trip to Eastbourne make time to include this fantastic experience on the Sussex shore. The purpose built RIB means that you can really get up close to some of our most iconic landmarks including the famous red and white striped Beachy Head Lighthouse and the white chalk cliffs of Beachy Head and the trips really make for an exhilarating adventure. With Mother’s Day and Easter coming up, the gift packs make an unusual present and are a great excuse to enjoy a unique experience with a special friend or relative.”
Last month Sussex Voyages was recognised as a Quality Assessed Visitor Attraction by Visit Britain and as the weather begins to warm up, the powerboat adventure operators are looking ahead to a busy season.
Operating out of The Waterfront at Sovereign Harbour Marina, visitors have the chance to pre-book or just turn up on the day to board one of the regular adventures along the Sussex shore.
Pete Smith, owner of Sussex Voyages said “We are very pleased to get our powerboat experience gift packs onto VisitEastbourne.com and further promote the trips we offer. As we’re relatively new to Eastbourne, we are hoping the presence on E-shop will prove to be a great way to let visitors, as well as residents, know about the exciting trips available from the harbour.”
With VisitEastbourne.com receiving over 6 million hits a year and the traffic for its online shop reaching an all time high over the past six months, the website presents an excellent opportunity for businesses in and around Eastbourne to promote their products and services.
Joining other experiences on VisitEastbourne including cookery experiences at the Culinary Arts Studio and paragliding days from Airworks in Glynde, plus a range of local products and souvenirs such as the Royal Sussex Traditional Trug and Eastbourne Bag for Life, E-shop is shaping up to be the number one booking portal for visitors coming to the town looking to try out something new.
