The company announced it has hosted more than 37,000 guests this year

ST. THOMAS, VIRGIN ISLANDS, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Leading tour activity operator Amphitrite Digital has announced the company's first half revenue grew 40% on a year-over-year basis and has reported approximately $3.8 million combined revenue from all three of its business units. These positive results have been driven by the January acquisition of Paradise Adventures Catamarans and Watersports and Amphitrite Digital's dedicated captains and crew leveraging industry-leading digital technology platforms.
In its first season as part of the Amphitrite Digital family, Paradise Adventures, based in Panama City Beach, Florida saw revenue increase 41% from last year. This growth was driven by the company's integration into Amphitrite Digital's digitally enabled advertising, marketing and operating platforms.
Windy of Chicago's Tall Ship Windy opened for the season on May 18th and came off Navy Pier at a record pace, achieving 42% growth for the first half of the year. In their second year operating under Amphitrite Digital, these results can be attributed to a focus on enhancing vessel utilization and enhanced programming. New this year, guests can enjoy a concert sail, the Monday Night Blues, every Monday night. The Educational Sail, sailing three days a week, was moved from Fridays to Mondays and continued Saturdays and Sundays. This optimization has resulted in an 8x increase of guests hosted on Mondays instead of Fridays for this sail.
Seas the Day Charters USVI, located in St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, reported a 5% decrease from 2022. Tourism in the U.S. Virgin Islands has been impacted this year by a multitude of airline challenges, including high cancellations and increased costs of airfare.
"Paradise Adventures and Tall Ship Windy have delivered strong growth that exceeded our expectations and Seas the Day delivered an impressive steady performance in a difficult operating environment while the USVI is experiencing double-digit declines in tourism," said Rob Chapple who was named Amphitrite Digital's CEO in June. "I would like to thank our dedicated teams. They have delivered excellent experiences to over 37,000 guests this year, leveraging our investment in digital platforms and achieving results we are all very proud of. These results validate our investment model and integrated operations strategies. The focused hard work to build the best team and the best tools for our general managers to utilize in driving superior results is truly paying off and gives us confidence as we consider future growth opportunities."

Amphitrite Digital's unique competitive advantage is that its operations are built on a "digital foundation."

Seas the Day Charters USVI offers private and shared day charters on luxury sailboats and fast powerboats, with 13 vessels to choose from. Seas the Day Charters USVI won the Virgin Islands Daily News Best Day Sail Readers Choice Award. It also won Tripadvisor's 2023 Travelers Choice Award and was rated the number one Outdoor Activity by Tripadvisor.
Tall Ship Windy, the official Tall Ship of the City of Chicago, is a 148-foot traditional four-masted gaff topsail schooner departing for a minimum of four sails daily from Navy Pier, with additional programming throughout the week, including the Monday Night Blues sail, Friday Night Pirate's Pub and bi-weekly Fireworks sails.
