The Fizz Boat - Champagne Cruises on The River Dart

  Dartmouth, England, United Kingdom The Fizz Boat, our idea from concept to creation, an idea born out of a casual conversation while driving along the M62 and turned into a reality satisfying our desire to operate a luxury lifestyle and hospitality business in a coastal location. Having been in business for over thirty years and marketing for the previous ten, we decided we'd earned our 'gap year' and given we love fizz, seafood and the popping of a cork, it seemed the perfect fit.

Having been in business for over thirty years and marketing for the previous ten, we decided we'd earned our 'gap year' and given we love fizz, seafood and the popping of a cork, it seemed the perfect fit. But there was also a more serious business angle, it was an experiment of sorts, a demonstration of the power of great marketing and social media. We wanted to prove the idea that a business could be built, relatively quickly, from a cold start to a profitable operation, using the marketing concepts and techniques we'd been evangelising to others for the past ten years. And we certainly did that! Using attraction marketing, we took people on our journey, told stories and shared our vision, created desire and ultimately helped people make memories while cruising The River Dart on an exclusive Champagne cruise. We championed English Sparkling Wine and local seafood as our niche, serving elegantly sophisticated grazing boards to great acclaim from our guests. The Fizz Boat was a great experience and the inspiration for our continued pursuit to support hospitality, food and drink businesses and to help them get found and noticed too. Show less

As a Business Growth Expert, I have worked face to face and online with 100's of business owners and their teams to focus on growth and have a particular specialism in working with couples who live and work together. In The Business Growth Academy I work with SMEs through various membership propositions and in The CoPreneurs Club I work directly with couples who want to achieve harmony and success in both their work and life. Also currently at The Best of Bolton I specialise in on and off-line marketing and advertising services, supporting local independent businesses based in Bolton, helping them maintain a high local profile and connecting them with potential customers and clients. It is through the experience gained in our own businesses and through working with hundreds of independent business owners that we found our passion in providing the 'missing ingredient' in many business models, that of 'accountability and implementation'.
