Roma Boat Show, great success

Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:00:00 GMT

The Big Blu cruised on blithely despite the crisis. The show held at the Fiera di Roma last February had its finger very much on the pulse of the sector as it entered the first quarter of 2010. According to the organisers, around 140,000 visitors streamed through the turnstiles between the Boat Show and the GommoShow. The lion’s share of the exhibition space actually went to the latter inflatable event as this kind of craft has a big fan base in Lazio. While Genoa seems to be the top...

Miami Boat Show, signs of a recovery

Thu, 22 Apr 2010 22:00:00 GMT

The Superbowl and the Miami International Boat Show. What on earth do these two events have in common apart from being the very essence of the American spirit? On the surface, not a lot. However this year the Superbowl was played out in Miami and Fort Lauderdale and ended just a couple of days before the start of the Show. The result was that the MIBS and the Yacht and Brokerage Boat Show benefited from the huge ready-made crowd of visitors who had poured south to Florida and paid up to $5,000...

Abu Dhabi Boat Show

Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:00:00 GMT

Try asking a friend to locate Abu Dhabi on a map and, more likely than not, he will mistake it for Dubai, Abu Dhabi’s more flamboyant neighbor to the north. Yet this city, the world’s richest according to Fortune magazine, is out to change all that. And the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (ADYS) held last February 25-27 was a major step in this direction, reflecting the United Arab Emirates’ ambition to make their capital a leading global yachting destination. Now in its second...

Goga Boat Show postponed

Tue, 06 Apr 2010 22:00:00 GMT

Goga Boat Show, scheduled on April 10th and 11th, has been postponed to a date to be set. The quay which protects the dock in Maccagno (Lago Maggiore) from wind and waves is sinked. The quay is located in the entrance zone of the port, and it makes difficult for boats and people to enter in the Boat Show area, which is also exposed to possible storms. That's why the Show has been postponed. The designers are seeking for the reason of the sinking. After it will be verified, Goga Event (boat...

London Boat Show, news coming soon

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

So how is the British nautical industry faring in these troubled times? A good question. However, jumping to conclusions in such a period of utter flux can be counterproductive. But it is possible to make a few educated guesses. The London Boat Show, in fact, provided much food for thought. As is traditional, it opened the boat show season in Europe. Visitor numbers were down to 102,655 compared to 112,299 in 2009, and there were 502 exhibitors this year compared to last year’s 541. These...

Azzurra back to life

Sun, 21 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

Everyone associates Azzurra with a certain shade of royal blue. A shade that was unique in itself. In fact, were she to appear in any other livery, she simply would not seem herself. However, that particular shade of blue was not an off-the-shelf one by any means, a fact that cause no small flurry of panic recently. “The colour was the result of a series of test carried out by Azzurra’s designer Andrea Vallicelli and his wife back in the day,” explains Maxi Dolphin CEO...

Düsseldorf Boot with few news

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 23:00:00 GMT

Exhibition space sold out, visitor numbers up 2,000 on last year and a level of contraction deemed more than satisfactory – that’s the official line from the management of the Düsseldorf Boot on the just-finished edition. “We hit the targets we set ourselves,” declared Messe Düsseldorf chairman Werner Matthias Dornscheidt. “We not only managed to bring some impetus to the rather stagnant nautical industry but we also attracted many families and young...

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

Fort Lauderdale Boat Show from the inside

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

What kind of condition is the American market in? Is the current economic crisis changing the scene in the US? And what measures have European yards, particularly the Italian ones, taken to counteract not only the recession but also the weak dollar? These were the questions that hung over the 50th edition of the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show which was loaded with more significance than ever in its history. But make no mistake about it: there are no hard and fast answers out there right now. The...

Barcelona Boat Show hit by the crisis

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 GMT

The Barcelona Show in November was a low-key affair, taking up just a pavilion and a half at the Fira della Gran Via and a jetty and a half at Port Vell, something of a comedown from the five pavilions and three jetties we’d seen in the past. The exhibitors all seemed quite down in the dumps too, having just put the worst year on record behind them. They’d experienced a drop of, on average, 35.7% in revenues but in certain areas, such as the 12 to 15-metre motorboat and sailing...

It’s a praiseworthy...
