Fort Lauderdale Int’l Boat Show Coming Up Oct. 28!

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

The annual Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the largest boat show in the world, and expects to be even stronger this year with a list of new features and firsts. From Thursday, October 28 to Monday, November 1, 2010, the 51^st Annual Boat Show will hold more than $3 billion worth of yachts, superyachts, electronics, engines and boating accessories from all the major manufacturers and boat builders worldwide.

Why this year’s show will be even bigger and better than ever:

Florida’s sales tax cap on boats was passed on July 1, 2010. The tax on boats is 6 percent and capped at no more than $18,000. This tax incentive is expected to tremendously boost yacht sales at the show this year.
The largest boat built in the U.S. since the 1930’s, the 281-foot Cakewalk, will make its international debut in Fort Lauderdale.
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show goes green! Show Management, the company that manages the boat show, has pledged to offset 100 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from the boat show. Also, the Broward County Convention Center is on track to becoming LEED-certified.

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show sprawls across over 3 million square feet of space in 5 locations:

1. Bahia Mar Beach Resort and Yachting Center

2. The Hall of Fame Marina

3. Las Olas Municipal Marina

4. Hilton Fort Lauderdale Marina

5. Broward County Convention Center

Located in the heart of Fort Lauderdale – the yachting capital of the world – is Atlantic Yacht and Ship, which has been serving the yacht community for over 50 years. With an extensive list of motor yachts for sale, Atlantic is sure to make a splash at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show this year.

Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show Expected to Be Stronger This Year

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is the city’s biggest nautical event of the year, coming up October 28 to November 1. Efrem “Skip” Zimbalist, president and CEO of Show Management, the company sponsoring the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, says he expects the event to be stronger this year than last.

Yacht brokerage is leading the way in the marine industry’s economic recovery, with more realistic asking prices, which are generating higher sales volume, says Zimbalist. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show will be the key event of the year for generating sales.

The CEO of Show Management also said that early August advance ticket sales and exhibitor space for the boat show are a little above compared to last year at this time. The company is aggressively marketing the event in 16 countries, with an emphasis on Russia and Latin America this year.

In an effort to make the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show a sustainable event, Show Management is partnering with Native Energy to offset the event’s carbon footprint through renewable energy projects.

With high hopes for the boat show this year, Atlantic Yacht and Ship is a yacht brokerage in Fort Lauderdale that offers new and used boats for sale.
