Spring Sale as Fotoboat prepare for new site

Fotoboat's new website is set to launch on 1st May © www.fotoboat.com

Online sailing photography business Fotoboat is preparing for a busy season ahead with a new look and slick website, which will make it easier to view and purchase images. And to celebrate, Fotoboat is making a very special offer to its loyal customers.

The new site will show pictures just from 2012 onwards, and all the previous years' albums will be deleted. But there is a limited time sale of all the pre 2013 pictures, allowing customers to pick up images at incredible value prices, during our major Spring clean of the site.

The new site will go live on 1 May 2013. Fotoboat founder Mike Rice said, "All this year's events will go on the new site, plus major events from 2012 will be moved across. But pictures from previous years will very soon be deleted. You have until 30 April to make sure of getting a copy of that picture you always meant to order, but didn't get around to. Plus – the prices have been cut by up to 40% for these older images in our massive Spring Sale. So you can afford that wall size big print you always wanted."

Mike Rice continued "Since we set up the business 10 years ago there have been 7 million picture views on our site. Our new system will make it quicker and easier for customers to find the pictures they want, and then to choose from a whole range of print and digital products. At Fotoboat we market images as digital files and as prints, and the new site will make it easier for customers to purchase their own personal album of digital images."

Look out for Fotoboat at major championships and regattas this year, and check our latest albums and news regularly on the website and on our page on Facebook. The web address of the new site will remain as www.fotoboat.com. Fotoboat supply high quality images to sailors, the media, classes and companies. For further information and enquiries re this year's events, contact Mike Rice at or call 07774 946930.
