Excellent, the best of luck for the venture.

For names it would help to know your target market, or are you casting your net wide to start perhaps?

Thanks the target market is all four which is why we have found it hard to come up with a name ,i would say the two important ones are the fishing charter, and the bare boat hire of which we are doing on smaller ribs 5.4 and 5.8 so that more people can afford to hire around £200 for the day
and before any one asks we have sorted insurance for the bare boat hire not cheap but thats life

I guess you'll be on the north Wales coast. Best of luck. Wish I had the guts to do it.
