INVESTOR INFORMATION
Overview of Amphitrite Digital
The company uses advanced digital technology platforms to market, manage and operate in-destination tours, activities and events in the U.S. and the Caribbean. With several operating entities including Seas the Day Charters USVI, Tall Ship Windy in Chicago, Paradise Adventures Catamarans and Watersports in Panama City Beach, Florida and Magens Hideaway. Amphitrite serves more than 80,000 tour and event guests annually and is already one of the largest maritime tour activity operators in Chicago and the U.S. Virgin Islands. With a foundation rooted in digital technology and innovation, Amphitrite has consistently achieved double or triple digit growth annually.
On March 24, 2022 Amphitrite signed a binding Purchase Agreement to acquire Paradise Yacht Management group (www.paradiseyachtmanagement.com).
THE OPPORTUNITY
The digital technology revolution has not reached the in-destination tour activity operator industry. Fragmentation and owner/operator lack of technical knowledge has resulted in the industry not benefiting from the benefits of digital technology in revenue generation, customer service and overall operations. These two problems creates a strategic opportunity for Amphitrite. Having established a digital foundation powering its sales and operations, Amphitrite is well positioned for both organic growth as well as an acquisition roll-up strategy.
OUR SOLUTION
Amphitrite's unique competitive advantage is that our operations are built on a “digital foundation”. We bring the best of class digital technology to our tour operations including advertising and marketing, customer service, repair and maintenance and overall operations resulting in efficiencies not usually seen in this industry. We refer to this digital foundation as “The HELM”. The Helm is both an operating design philosophy as well as an Online and App portal allowing Amphitrite employees, contractors and partners to access key technology enablers to enhance their performance. Amphitrite's digital platform is powered by industry leading technology partners including Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Salesforce, 8x8 and MaxPandaCMS.
OUR CUSTOMERS
In 2022, the combined operations serviced more than 80,000 guests. Our analytics, based on website users and/or bookings indicate that our customers are 51.8% female and 48.2% male. Amphitrite's strength is the customer experience. Our digital foundation is designed to not only provide revenue and operating efficiencies, but also an exceptional customer experience. This has been validated by our 5-star rating on Tripadvisor, being selected for Tripadvisors 2022 Travelers Choice Award, being voted as the Best Day Charter and Best Boat Rental operation by the VI Daily News for 2021-2022 and receiving more than 5000 perfect online social media reviews.

His father was a one design sailing National Champion who taught him to sail almost from the time he could walk.
Since arriving in Chicago in 1992, Bruce has been a sailing instructor, racing coach, and charter captain on many vessels. He is also a accomplished sailboat racer. With the partnership of his wife Karen, the two began Lakeshore Sail Charters LLC (LSC) in 2003. They expanded into the Tall Ship world beginning in 2005 with the purchase of S/V Windy.

She spent those years developing a thorough understanding of what it takes to make the guest experience seamless, consistent, memorable and scalable.

These behind-the-scenes efforts are the first step to ensuring all guests across the Amphitrite Digital portfolio have the best day of vacation.
Originally from the farmlands of Upstate New York, the cold winters and name “Sonni” never seemed to align, so she followed her dreams and the setting sun to the West Coast, landing in San Diego, California. There, she felt the Pacific was too cold and menacing so again she followed her sun, this time to the Caribbean which led right to the doors of Amphitrite Digital’s Seas the Day Charters USVI. With the wind in her sails and always up for an adventure, on her days off you’ll now find Sonni exploring the Gulf Shores in the Florida Panhandle.
