sometimes im just dont understand who is inventing all these projects? there is no logic in this project. the number of people who are interested in the yacht and who have a cryptocurrency and actively trade less than 100 people!!! is it really worth collecting money and doing such a project for small crowd?  Huh Huh Huh

Hi!

Let me try to answer/comment this:

- We are doing this for yachting industry in which we are involved since 2014, not for 100 "hoping to get rich" crypto holders. The crowd that we are building this for, is not small.

- "Crypto world" is much more than crypto currency and trading. I am talking about smart contracts, ease of cross border payments, faster payments, less payment fees, adding the trust element with smart contracts and removing the doubt, removing scams from market, creating a dispute system (which currently is non-existent practically), ....and so on... 

- Collecting money will help us to build this thing faster and do some proper marketing and sales activities to get users/clients and start generating income and positive cash flow.

Best regards,
Miha

let's see, of course, what will come out of you in the end, but it seems to me that the chances of success with a negative market is very very very minimal. and im think you understand that most likely you will give one big loss to everyone who buys your project tokens.

Yes, that is correct.

...

Thanks for the answer, the PRE sale is still running for some time and will keep an eye on it. I think the idea as said good and appealing, but I still have to look at everything a bit more;).

Hi!

Yes, that is correct.

We have only started with marketing activities (of any kind) and publicly announced our project on 4th of February 2019 - both at the same time. No marketing was done before that. We are also on a really (!) tight budget, so we can not afford payed marketing to create hype - as other ICOs have done with big budget, creating hype though payed media and other channels for 6 moths or 1 year before their ICO.

We decided to out with our project with ICO (or public token crowdfunding) on 4th February. Even thou it is a bear market right now - not good for any crypto or ICO. But we will continue with our project no mater what happens. Even thou we have not received any serious founding until now, our development team is working on fist part of the platform - skipper/crew booking part. (actually we just started with development on Monday) The plan is to get this part out as soon as possible because there is a huge gap in the market here. And we have good connections with skippers/hostesses/chefs, as well as with charter companies that are looking for this kind of services - so we can get users to this part of platform relatively "easy" and quick.

Best regards,
Miha - funder of Yachtco

So yachts + blockchain. Mmmm here smells like big money, I like this idea  Cool So I looking at the site and see that there are a huge number of reasons for the introduction of blockchain in this area, congratulations, I think this is the first project on this topic. Do you plan to add a scale to the website showing the number of funds raised?

Thank you for nice, encouraging words! :-)

Yes, blockchain is needed in this industry. Not for everything - for some parts.

We plan to update page and the rest of marketing materials soon. For now you can see how many tokens are left - in real time. We will work on this in the future to give you better view. 

An interesting service for recreation on yachts. I wonder how much it costs to spend a week on such a yacht. The service is not for the poor and not for people of moderate means. But interesting.
It depends on the class of the yacht, the skipper and the availability of entertainment elements on the yacht)) I looked at the first website on google search, the Caribbean Islands, the prices were from 1000 Euro to 15000 euros per day  Shocked

So, prices on yachts range quite a lot. This depends on the built year (newer-older), size, extra equipment (generator, air-condition, solar power, remote autopilot, electrical winches, ... ), type (motorboat, sailboats, catamaran, gulet,...) and also a bit on location/marina. Prices also depend on time: pre-season, high season, post-season.

Prices for boat rental start from +-1.000 EUR per week.

 In general, the total price for renting a boat (sailing holidays) looks like this:
- price of boat rental (vary)
- obligatory extras (like final cleaning,...)
- optional extras (if you want them, like stand up paddle, outboard motor for dingy, snorkeling or fishing equipment,...)
- skipper +-1050 EUR per week + food (if you need one)
- cook +-1050 per week + food (if you want one)
- boat fuel (depends on how much you spend)
- food and drinks
- moorings and marina fees (if you go to marina, calculate 4-5 nights, around 100 EUR per boat per night)
- (security deposit for the boat - you get this back at the end)

Actually, you have a wide range of options for this. From "cheap" and old boats to new and luxury yachts. The luxury yacht can easily set you back 100.000 EUR or more - per week of holidays. But you also have boats where you have similar experience (sailing holidays with island hopping) where you will spend 250-300 EUR per person per week - for the boat (+ food and skipper if you need one). So this is actually comparable to a hotel stay.

If you are interested in more details, let me know ... I can tell you more.

Hi Nutildah!

Let me reply to you...

All sources of studies are included in our whitepaper - with direct links to the studies.

A lot of your white paper is plagiarized from these 2 sources, yet you don't reference them or give them credit:

https://melift.cc/assets/melift-whitepaper.pdf
https://almaferly.wordpress.com/2018/01/24/recreational-boat-market/

You should probably source them in your white paper.

This above is not true. I do not know where you got your source from, but nothing is copied from the links above.



Then this one is accredited but you didn't put quotes around the text you took from it:

https://ec.europa.eu/growth/tools-databases/vto/content/study-competitiveness-recreational-boating-sector

Again, not true. All market analysis comes from third party source:
https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/yacht-charter-market.html
...which is clearly sourced too.

Best regards,
Miha

From your whitepaper:

Quote
In the last 10 years, the average age of users more or less changed by 10 years from around 45 to 55 years. This means that basically no young boat owners entered the market, consumers spend less and less time on the boat, and renting is gaining popularity. Recreational boating is gaining popularity as a new way of spending vacations. Chartering therefore endured the 2008 crisis rather well, however, smaller companies faced difficulties.

To your credit you did clean up the wrong grammar in the original, but its still essentially the same thing. Other sections of your white paper also lift entire sections from this study.

From your whitepaper:

Quote
The demand trend is also attributed to the phenomenon that today’s users of boats appear to be less willing to accept long preparation of their boating trips, constant maintenance or dealing with upcoming problems, leading to decreasing tendencies to own a boat and an increased growth demand for charters. They want to go to their preferred destination, have a boat ready and everything functioning throughout their holidays.

From the study (quoted by another article, as you should have done):

From your whitepaper:

The following subsections describe the main features of the platform available to owners of private and business accounts. Both types of accounts will provide many similar functions, but are divided for taxation purposes and to simplify the calculation of fees and commissions. Owners of business accounts will have greater access to advertising tools on the platform and will be able to obtain various extra services in exchange for an optional monthly subscription fee; further, business accounts will face certain limitations on contacting private users to avoid spam.

From the Tripus ICO whitepaper:

Quote
The following subsections describe the main features of the platform available for the owners of personal accounts and businesses. Both types of accounts will provide similar functionality but is divided for tax purposes and to simplify the calculation of fees and commissions. Owners account will now have access to tools more ads on the platform and will be able to get many different additional services in exchange for a monthly subscription fee option; moreover, business accounts will face certain restrictions when contacting private users to prevent spam.

From your whitepaper:

Quote
The use of the most innovative digital technologies has been one of the prime movers of growth in the whole travel sector, creating online travel giants like AirBnb and TripAdvisor. In the yacht charter industry, there are some booking systems like Booking Manager, Nausys and Sedna. However, these projects are heavily centralised and consequently make the whole charter market fragmented - creating frustration for end users, guests and sailors. Also, these seemingly innovative projects may soon become outdated with the arrival of blockchain technology. Cryptocurrencies, decentralised structures and smart contracts will soon define the new face of the yacht charter industry.

From the Smart Trip Platform ICO:

Pretty much your entire white paper is plagiarized from a few different sources. Some are former ICOs. That's certainly a red flag for anybody considering investing in it. It means you haven't put forth the time to do your own research. It's lazy at best and fraud at worst.
