Pete Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Nice. They get some amazing boats on there. CJ - there are opportunities to act as an agent rather than a full brokerage. Basically you photograph and inspect the boats on behalf of a broker. If I knew the slightest thing about boats I'd consider setting one up myself. I could run BoatshedGreece.com and you can operate the Kos and other island hoping inspections. Waddya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 1. what services can be offered to boat owners using the marina? I ask as they would normally have more money and therefore more disposable income. Wireless Internet connections. Island tours? "Kos With Col".

jamesmark Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 As mentioned already about the marina and Internet service directory, it was done on Dragons den once that the guy came up with the idea of internet site solely for the Marina covering all aspects or tourism etc where you keep them informed of things happening. It was paid by subscription and also had potential where companies could rent space from you to advertise to the rich, restraunts etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM if you prefer. Also, this is a link to the current marina site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 XXX shop?? Nah due to a predominantly strict Greek Orthodox following Reminds me of an awkward moment in a general store in Rhodes. We'd gone to the counter to pay. My kids were about 10 / 11 and my sons eyes were about level with a pack of porno playing cards on the counter. He seemed very interested in the big black guy sticking his manhood up the young ladies ass on the cover. Luckily, his pocket money was eventually spent on the sweets right next to the stack of cards. When he was older, I told him the meaning of incongruous.

I think what they sell to us "heathen" tourists and what they (publicly) buy themselves are governed by different sets of morals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Hi CJ Perhaps take a walk down to the Marina and simply ask the people who own/rent/use the boats what is the one thing/service they would want or enjoy (pay for) ? I love Skiathos and Corfu, they feel like home to me, but I must admit if I relocated there, I don't know how i would make my living? Cheers Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am also lucky enough to have a job already working at a bar and this thread was more to see if there were different opportunities rather than to suggest something for me to do.
