Well I would like to thank you for your input. The majority of the people that have chartered with me like the music and are the ones that have inspired me and suggested that I place the music on the page. I also place an icon on the page for people that are computer literate that would stop the music. Besides that, every computer that I know of has a volume control and a mute button for people that may not like the music. Most people would use either of the two ways to stop the music.
I am very selective on who I take on charters on my yacht. The vessel has a replacement value of $285,000.00. So if the only reason that you would not consider chartering from my company is because of music on a website and not consider the value for the cost then I would suggest that you look at other charter companies.
We really like to charter to groups and families thaat really like to enjoy themselfs with sailing the bay, the wind, dolphins, water, and good music on board. I noticed that you have an ISD e-mail adress that would lead me to believe that you are a teacher or school employee. I give a discount on all sails for people in the education field. But you would not know that because you hit the 'X" button before you educated yourself about what is available. I am the only charter company that advertises the discount. Also I am the only charter company that you know what the total cost (all inclusive) is before you sail and it is backed in writing and posted on the website. But you did not get to see that.
I wish you luck and hope that you find a charter company that will fit your needs.
You http://www.tropicalexpress..com/

FYI -
It is only fair to tell you that the reason I didn't even begin to look at
your website is because of the music that plays.
We're bring the family down to the beach this next week and are looking for
a sailing charter. When I hit your website and the music strts blasting...I
hit the big red X and close the window.
Thanks,
