This year one could clearly tell that Catamarans have made their statement in the choices offered to today's yachtsmen! Close to 50% of the the show was dominated by Sailing Catamarans.
I do want to take a moment to thank all of those who did stop by the show this year, and hope that all who attended enjoyed the show.
The Lagoon/Catamaran Company display covered an entire dock at the show with the Lagoon line to include the 500,440,420 and 380 all available to view as well as a wide selection of previously owned Yachts. Lagoon further had some great models of up-coming releases to include the new 400, due to splash this summer in Europe and on display this fall at the Annapolis Show. Followed by the up-dating of the 420 to the new 421, with a new hull design as well as a re-configuration of the hard top. Finally the 620, again a yacht in it's final phases of completion in Bordeaux and available to be viewed here stateside at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show this fall.
Builders from around the world were there showing new models and current thoughts in design. Of note, on the larger side included both SUNREEF and MATRIX having absolutely the most well appointed yachts for either private and or charter applications. If you happen to have further interest in these lovely luxury Catamarans please do let me know as we do represent both of the builders. On the other side of size, Performance Cruising had the GEMINI and TELSTAR Trimaran both landmarks in small multi-hull sailing and we are proud to announce that we can now offer these fine yachts to our customers going forward.
For those interested in our FRACTIONAL offerings, I do have to say that at this show I did find that I continue to find sincere interest and have a growing number of individuals who are looking to proceed forward given select makes and models with a strong interest in not just our BVI location but the addition of a Florida based opportunity. If you are considering owning a share please do let me know and I will up-date as to the specifics.
In conclusion, the attendance was up, the weather was great and a good time was had by all. We do have some inventory available in both new and used, as well as a select number of brokerage yachts here in Fort Lauderdale so please do inquire as to availability. If you did not make the show and have plans to be in the area please let me know and we can arrange an appointment to view these great offerings. The prices are right and there is no better time than NOW to get a great deal on a great Cat!
