That's very strange. Google doesn't really ignores you unless the content is not really important.

Looking at the catched page Google has, it wasn't something to write home about, so they might give you another shot in the coming weeks. Make sure you are ready for it.

Add this meta tag back to your pages as follows:

<meta name="revisit-after" content="7 days" />

Is better to have it then not to.
Make sure you have a robots.txt file on your server.

Add a title tag to you links like this:

Code:
<a href="cruises.php" title="cruises ... more text">Cruises</a>
Add a better alt tag description to your images. alt="part two" or alt="image1" doesn't make sense for what your website is about.

If you know how, use divs instead of tables as much as you can.

Hope this help.

Thanks for all the help lads.

Meta tag has been replaced.
Robots.txt is in place [that always goes up with the site].

The link titles and alt tags will have to wait a bit as I'm about to shut up shop for three weeks, but in the meantime I'll get the client to find relevant sites where he wants links.

I know the div/table arguments, but will stick with what I have for the moment.

Maybe when I return, the site will be #1 in the rankings anyway

If you want to improve the chances of google spidering then you could try creating some links from on-topic sites (boating/yachting clubs?).

At the moment the link: command on Yahoo shows only your site which would probably be deemed as unreleted. One link really isn't enough. Don't add too many, but maybe another 4 or 5 initially, and then a couple more over the coming weeks.

Even add the site to a couple of directories and see if googlebot comes back.

As I say, I'll get the client to sniff around and find some suitable sites. He would know better that I, which sites to go for.

A final update on this one.

Google finally had a brief visit on the 31st August. Though it still hasn't updated its info. It is still displaying summary info from the pre-launch site and isn't displaying the page title. It visited again this month, but for some reason it just doesn't like the site
