Looking for some guidance for using sailonline's bidding process....we have chartered many times in US/BVI - always direct with the companies....what type discounts can one reasonably expect via the bidding process? or example - a Beneteau 393 / Jeanneau 40 is listed as normal season "C" rate of $2,732wk /$390 day...what % off this is reasonable?
Thanks

No opinions on this? I am guessing 25% off is a solid number. The reason for the requests - I am 'pitching' this trip to a group of guys..We have sailed together on the US east coast for years, and it will be a financial stretch for a couple....hence I am trying to get a relatively solid number to give them.

Hi Mike, I have used the bidding process two ice and I was in both cases very satisfied with it. The first time I got about 35% discount on the published price (Sunsail 35ft prime shape) but I had to adjust my. The second time I got 25% discount, It was with Conch Charter, 41ft 3 cabin the boat was in full working order but not as new as the first, the service however was excellent. What I realized is that If your dates are flexible you can get more out of the process. Best of luck.
