    Hi My name is Ray and I would like to bring to your attention the fact that myself and a colleague are implementing, ready to introduce to the market place a share holders club for a live aboard fishing safari boat that is based in Cebu the Philippines. The idea is to offer 320 shares to avid big game fishermen from around the world. A typical season is for 40 weeks a year from late January through to early November. This equates to 16 fishermen on board per safari for 13 days for a total of a ten year period. A safari will travel south from Cebu and enter the exotic waters of the southern Visayan region, renowned for the big game fishing. Plus there will be chance to visit several paradise Islands along the way. Other activities available from the boat will be scuba diving and clay pigeon shooting. All together a fantastic action packed safari. This safari type is unique to this area and will have a big novelty value with prestige.
