BLUEFISH CONCIERGE CATERS TO THE MOST DISCERNING TASTES

For many, the word concierge congers up images of beaten down, apathetic hotel employees who struggle to get you a taxi.  But for those who demand a little more than a taxi, say a fighter jet ride above Moscow, Bluefish Concierge is the group to call. 

Bluefish Concierge proudly proclaims that it “is not a gopher service.”  Instead, they “offer the highest level of personalized travel, transportation and entertainment-related services to corporate executives, celebrities, professional athletes and other discerning individuals interested in living life to it fullest.”  In other words, people with tons of cash. 

In order to expand their range of services and potential clients, Bluefish Concierge recently announced a merger with The Concierge Club of the United Kingdom with the latter taking the name Bluefish UK. 

Also recently, Bluefish Concierge successfully re-established itself as the official Concierge and Credit Card (a joint venture with Bank of America) for Bridgehampton Polo. 

A popular feature offered by Bluefish is their partnership program.  This program requires only a modest payment of $5,000 per year.  However, this payment only gets clients access to Bluefish’s entertainment calendar for the year.  From there it is up to the partners to determine which events they want to participate in. 

For example, partners could pony up $10,000 per couple to play golf with PGA professionals for three days or drop $95,000 per couple to spend five days in Bangkok cooking with some of the finest chefs in the world. 

In a nutshell, Bluefish is tailored for people who have a lot of cash but not a lot of time or patience for dealing with the details of experience-oriented travel. 

Also catering to these discerning tastes are various car clubs around the world.  Car clubs offer access to exotic luxury and sports cars to their various members and/or fractional owners.  The key concept behind these businesses is to offer all of the fun of an unmatched variety of high performance cars with none of hassles (of ownership that is). 

Although car clubs are nothing new, Ron Sturgeon has put his own stamp on a club he created in Dallas Fort Worth.  A Texas-based entrepreneur, Sturgeon has built his car club with a tiered membership approach rather than a fractional ownership approach.  This means members of his DFW Elite Car Club are free to enjoy driving without the risks of depreciation or the hassles of maintenance.  Unlike many other new car clubs, DFW Elite Auto Club benefits from the contribution of more than 40 classic, luxury, and exotic cars from Mr. Sturgeon’s private collection.

For those who don’t want to commit to an annual car club membership, renting exotic automobiles is a superb way to hit the road in something more fun than what you’ll find in the typical rental fleet.  If your occasion calls for an exquisite car, you can locate an agency specializing in exotic car rental in your city using an online directory such as www.rentexoticcars.com.

Finally, exotic car aficionados may want to get their fix by driving multiple cars on tours through a scenic environment.  There are many entrepreneurs who have launched ventures to serve those for whom a day of driving the best from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, BMW and Bentley is the perfect therapeutic release.  Once again, Sturgeon has Texas covered with his DFW Drive Your Dream which offers four different exclusive daylong exotic car driving tours. 

No matter what your tastes, someone is always just a call, or a click, away.  For the right price of course.
