Sea Ray® Launches All-New Searay.com

Searay

Feb 13, 2020

Sea Ray is continuing to make waves and offer elevated experiences and unrivaled support with the launch of the redesigned, SeaRay.com. The all-new site has been upgraded with a contemporary design and a host of user-friendly features designed to support Brunswick’s mission of advancing the Sea Ray brand, promoting boating as a recreation of choice, demystifying the boat buying processes and supporting the boating community.

Built on the Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) platform with Adobe Analytics for marketing effectiveness and a more customized digital transformation, the site features a streamlined navigation for users to seamlessly find and request Sea Ray information and dealer support. Using the Filtered Search developed from consumer insights, users can easily search capabilities and discover comparisons between Sea Ray models. On the robust model pages, boat features are showcased with at-a-glance highlights, comprehensive listings and detailed photography.

The award-winning Build Your Sea Ray boat configurator has remained a prominent component of the site, along with enhanced video players, large-format photo galleries and embedded virtual tours. In addition, current owners and potential customers can now browse the brand-new Event Calendar to explore and locate boat shows, owner gatherings and Sea Ray events worldwide.

“Brunswick implemented the AEM platform as an enterprise solution and Sea Ray is Brunswick’s first boat brand to launch on this platform,” said Shelby Kirby, Sea Ray director of marketing. “Using the AEM content management system, we have been focused on redesigning our site for usability to make it more accessible for visitors, including both new customers and existing owners, so they can effortlessly find the information they’re looking for and get back to enjoying time out on the water.”

They have all been exceptional yachts, but this is the one I would most want to own myself. It’s a personal choice and a matter of taste as to whether you would prefer to have a sedan express model or a flybridge but in my opinion, the flybridge layout offers some wonderful attributes.

We met with Neptunus Managing Director Jan Willem De Jong this past fall to take the new Neptunus 650F out in Lake Ontario.

The Other Virgin Islands

Sunset off St John

By Mark Stevens

I was first seduced by the United States Virgin Islands during a ferry ride from St. Thomas to Tortola to begin one of our earliest British Virgin Islands charters nearly twenty years ago.

A perfect sunset off St. John with St. Thomas views for backdrop.

Clearing Pillsbury Sound, surrounded by voluptuous emerald mountains as the ferry sliced through royal blue waters, I was struck by the unspoiled ambiance of St. John, the island gliding past our starboard beam and the irresistible charm of a village called Cruz Bay visible from our quarter stern.
