Innovation for Boat Buyers and Boat Brokers
Here at Go Earth, we pride ourselves on being innovative and resourceful – and like to ‘think outside of the box’ when it comes to how we approach our products and services. With that in mind, we thought it would be interesting to showcase our latest innovations; The Boating Enterprise Search Tool (BEST) and Boat Simulator game. Brand Ambassador, Blue Davies and Marketing Manager, Jacey Roberts discuss the BEST and the Boat Simulation game created by Go Earth. To kick things off, can you briefly explain what the BEST Software is? Blue: In simple terms, the BEST Software is a tool to enable brokers to have access to more boats, to enable a larger volume of boats to be sold. A straightforward process using the software to quickly locate and identify a specific type of boat and price to meet the buyer’s requirements. What are the benefits for a broker using the BEST Software? Blue: The main benefit is the access to a wider selection of boats to match the ideal boat their customer is looking for, ultimately doing more business. Jacey: We are ultimately eliminating all the hard work for the brokers by adding hard to find data of brokers which sell all types of boats. On average, how much faster do you think the BEST Software is compared to a generic Google search to find the ideal boat? Blue: I would suggest it would reduce time spent finding the ideal boat for a customer in terms of days. Jacey: We got transport providers and surveyors through geo-location, so if a broker is unfamiliar with a location, we have resources to assist with the deal, such as transportation. Who should buy the BEST software? Blue: Simple, any brokers looking to increase their boat sales. You can try the BEST Software and you can make your own mind up to how helpful it is to your own business. Moving on to the Boating Simulation game – Did you have fun playing it? Blue: Yes, I am not a gaming person, but I did enjoy the Boat Simulator and getting a feel for what it could be like trying to manoeuvre a boat. It’s an introduction of what it will be when you get a chance to get on a boat in real life. How realistic is the boat game to real life? Blue: Like any simulator / video game it cannot replicate the real environment, but it does give the user the opportunity in a safe space to try their skills, without endangering anyone or anything. Having answered all the key questions related to the BEST software we hope we have made it clear, what is the BEST software. We would like to thank Blue Davies and Jacey for their valuable feedback on the new and exciting ventures which Go Earth has taken on!
Top 12 Coolest Boats
We have curated our best 12 coolest boat list. Get ready to see the amazing creativity in the boating industry! Lets get started… Sea Breacher http://www.humberworkboats.co.uk/ The Sea Breacher is a totally awesome-looking boat created by the New Zealander Rob Innes and his partner American Dan Piazza—who are also the founders of the American company Innespace Inc. It can dive five feet beneath the surface and leap 16′ in the air, but its coolest feature has to be that it looks like an orca. Priced at $65,000 or so, this boat will lighten your wallet. But is it worth when you make all the heads turn in the marina? Maybe. Is it worth it to have such a cool boat? Definitely The SWATH Sea Shadow blogspot.com The Sea Shadow is a SWATH—small waterplane area twin hull. You may be surprised to learn that this unique craft was built all the way back in the 1980s by US navy for testing, but with one look, you’ll understand why it makes our list. Earthrace www.boats.com The Sea Solar Sail, built at a cost of $26 million, is the first ever solar-powered boat. This 102’ long by 49’ wide craft doesn’t just look like the craziest boat under the sun – it also is powered by it – the sun. Just imagine the amount of energy saved! Covered in solar panels, in full sunlight the boat produces 127 fossil-fuel-free horsepower, and can cruise at up to 10 knots. Miss Geico speedonthewater.com Miss GEICO is owned by AMF Riviera Beach, which is owned by Marc Granet, Scotty Begovich, Scott Colton, Gary Stray, Gary Goodell and sponsored by the American insurance company GEICO. The most powerful version of Miss GEICO was a 50-foot vessel powered by twin Lycoming T-53 turbine engines. It hit speeds in excess of 210 mph. That boat caught fire during a race, but nobody was injured. USN LCAC Marine Link The Marine Link was a turbine-powered raceboat with 4,200 HP in the stern that could break 200-MPH, that was built by Mystic Powerboats in Deland, FL. Unfortunately, the boat burned to the waterline because of a hydraulic fitting failure and can no longer be seen. Footprint Boats www.humberworkboats.co.uk The Footprint does resemble the shape of a Star Trek shuttlecraft—at least in the aft (front) half. And yes, the pop-up camper is also at the back. But whatever you think about combining these three things together, this thing looks cool. Intended for cruising on lakes and inland waterways areas, the Footprint can carry larger groups thanks to its 8’2” beam (width). It’s cool! Nauti-Craft Suspension Boat awesomestuff365.com The Nauti-Craft, a true work of nautical art, incorporates the remarkable features of off-road vehicles into its design to eliminate common sea-faring problems.

The Kormaran K7 is the boat capable of changing form and function while IN MOTION to suit your precise needs. One has to see it in motion to really appreciate this boat. It seems like a legendary creation until you get to see it in action. The specialty behind its engineering is the fact that it allows the craft to alter the gap between the two hulls and to adjust the passenger cabin height. This makes it possible for the amazing vessel to operate as a single hull craft while offering the stability of a catamaran or even trimaran.

It also employs the ideal blend of colors, a demure brown and cheerful orange to create the ultimate contrast and engage every beholder.
