In the light of the raging pandemic and stay-at-home orders, the luxury yachting industry over the globe came to a halt. From closed borders to enforced quarantines, the yachting industry has taken a grenade. However, MBC Yachts is breaking barriers by adopting cutting-edge technology to stay afloat and remain available to our clients in these tremulous times.
For instance, due to the travel restrictions imposed ensuring the pandemic, MBC yachts stepped up to the plate with the creation of enriched video content, walkthroughs, and 3D tours to facilitate yachters who were looking to buy or charter a yacht. MBC yachts organized virtual yachting tours where you could virtually put yourself inside your favorite vessels and get a 360-degree view of every nook and cranny, giving you the immersive experience of being onboard, and walking the decks, without ever stepping a foot out the door.
Through the use of VR technology, people can get a real feel for the onboard spaces, luxuries and amenities, without physically having to travel. The aim was to capture the essence of super yachting and recreate the thrill and experience in spectacular locations. Throughout the pandemic, MBC Yachts remained fully operational to support your superyacht dreams.
In addition to offering virtual tours and private viewings of existing yachts for sale, MBC yachts is also accepting cryptocurrency payments for yacht sales and charters in order to stay available to all potential clients in all marketplaces. The ability to safely accept digital currencies is a valuable service to our clients in these unprecedented times.
This also helps us to increase payment transparency and efficiency. Additionally, there are also little to no transaction fees, as opposed to conventional banks. Since all payments done through digital currencies remain to decentralize, we are also looking to accommodate clients who wish to stay out of the headlines and exercise discretion and privacy.
A lot of our clients wishing to buy or book a last-minute superyacht charter can now do so within seconds whilst bypassing any third parties. Cryptocurrency allows them to make payments instantly and enjoy their charter.
We are proud to be one of the first companies in the UAE to enable clients to spend their cryptocurrency on sailing holidays. The result is a stream-lined, no-holds-barred payment process at any time of the day or week. We are hoping that this move will enable simplicity not only in buying and selling of yachts but in the yacht charter bookings too. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to make purchases as easy as possible for our clients, and this is only the beginning of our efforts to expand into the global market.
