Sports operator encourages residents to play tourist

(CNS): Local water sports operators Red Sail Sports is offering a 50 percent discount on diving, watersports and catamaran adventures until 15 December giving locals a chance to enjoy Cayman through the eyes of a tourist. The firm said it was the largest discount ever offered by the company to the people who live here, and it comes at a time when island residents may need a fun family outing, a romantic sunset sail or a relaxing dive. “We are delighted to offer this significant discount to help residents in these tough economic times,” said Rod McDowall, Operations Manager.

“To make the offer even sweeter, we have taken it a step further by extending the same local rate to any friends or family visiting a resident during the course of the year.”

The visiting friends and family programme allows Cayman to go to any Red Sail Sports location and subject to space get the half price offer and once a resident has booked one event for friends and family the discount extents to the visitors for any other bookings for the rest of their trip.

Catamaran sails to Stingray City, Rum Point, Kittiwake, Sunset Cruises and Dinner Sails, dive trips for certified divers, beach watersports such as wave runner rentals, wave runner safaris, windsurfing, sailing, kayaks, waterskiing, banana rides and speed boat charters are all included in the offer.

Reservations may be made over the telephone for visiting friends and family but the island resident making the booking must be present when payment is made the first time. They are asked to bring identification and proof of residency, such as a driver’s license or passport with a work permit stamp.

Once the information is on file their visitors can enjoy the discount for the rest of their stay without the resident having to bring them. The Special 50% discount is offered on a space available basis and cannot be used in conjunction with any other offer.
