Red Sail
Sports is proud to announce its 20th anniversary as one of the world’s leading
resort watersports operators. In 1987, Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman opened its
doors for business. To celebrate, Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman will host a year
of promotions, giveaways and special dive packages.
The Past: Red Sail Sports Grand Cayman started with two dive boats,
some beach toys and about 20 enthusiastic staff members. “Over the next 20
years, we built a reputation as one of the world's leading resort watersports
operators,” says Cayman Operations Manager, Rod McDowall. “Our philosophy has
remained the same throughout the years: Give the customer the highest quality
service possible.”
The
Present: Today, as Red Sail Sports commemorates its 20th anniversary, our
operations now encompass seven full service dive shops and watersports centers
on Grand Cayman, two on the Big Island of Hawaii, and two on Aruba. In addition,
Red Sail Sports manages an impressive range of resort retail boutiques on each
island, and offers accommodations through hotel partners.
In the
coming weeks, Red Sail Sports will also announce a 20th Anniversary “Celebrate
With Red Sail Sports Hotel/Dive Package” on Grand Cayman. And watch for upcoming
commemorative giveaways to be promoted online, at trade shows, and in the
island’s retail shops for 10 lucky couples who can win dive packages at Red Sail
Sports Grand Cayman.
The
Future: Using a custom-designed program with the latest e-ticket technology
for ease of use, Red Sail Sports Cayman just launched a new online reservations
system. Individual customers will be able to book their watersports activities
in real time, or call the toll-free number at 877-RED-SAIL to make a
reservation.
In addition, the seven full- service Red Sail Sports dive
and watersports centers across Grand Cayman will be armed with Tablet PCs to
speed customers through the check-in process for diving, snorkeling, sailing and
other activities, allow customers to sign waivers on the PCs, and confirm their
activity dates in a few seconds. Hawaii and Aruba online booking systems will be
launched in mid-2007. |
