Despite Covid-19 delaying many of our projects and investments, we continued to expand our portfolio of ferry services websites. Our passion for the ferry industry kept us motivated despite the setbacks caused by the pandemic, and we never forgot about FerryGoGo.
Jan 2022
In early 2022, we shifted our focus back to FerryGoGo with the goal to enhance the website's scope, quality, and international appeal. We expanded our team by bringing on board several talented individuals and conducted a comprehensive review of major ferry connections worldwide.
Jun 2022
In the middle of 2022, we achieved a significant breakthrough with our website, which led to a surge in traffic with hundreds of thousands of visitors and garnered the attention of numerous news outlets that wrote about our unique ferry maps and guides. This success served as confirmation that we were headed in the right direction, and as a result, we redoubled our efforts towards expanding Ferrygogo.com.
Mar 2023
In March 2023, we made significant enhancements to the design of our website and placed greater emphasis on expanding our global reach. In addition, we refined all of our guides and launched numerous social media channels to augment our online presence.
Feb 2024
In February 2024 we started with FerryGoGo Germany, FerryGoGo.de is a slim version of the global platform where we create guides and maps for the most popular routes among German Speaking tourists.
Jun - Oct 2024
In the summer of 2024, we split Ferrygogo into several separate websites. We launched Ferrygogo.co.uk, Ferrygogo.de, and Ferrygogo.nl as standalone domains to offer more tailored content. This allows us to serve specific markets better and avoid being too generic.
There are now four websites under the same leading brand, each focused on its audience and the routes that make the most sense from those countries.
On Ferrygogo.com, you’ll still find global ferry routes. Meanwhile, Ferrygogo.nl, Ferrygogo.de, and Ferrygogo.co.uk focus more locally, highlighting European routes, travel guides, reviews, and ferry crossings most relevant to travellers in those regions.
What's next?
We have an extensive list of plans and developments, but here's a small sneak peek: More Growth, asia, social media, new research, more extensive guides, The Caribbean, Alaska, etc.
