Miami Boat Show Survival Guide
 

The Miami Boat Show is gearing up! Show organizers estimate that more than 150,000 people will attend the February 16 - 20 event. New for 2006 models like Lagoon's Power Cat 44 will be on display at the Miami Sealine Marina and Yachting Center and (for the sailing crowd) the largest collection of catamarans will be available for showings at the MiaMarina at Bayside.

Schedule Your Appointment Early

During the show, I'll be aboard the Lagoon 500 at Dock L1 near the Hardrock Cafe. However, let me know what day you plan to attend and I will schedule time for you to board any of our yachts directly without waiting in line.

Tips To Help Make Your Show Visit A Successful One


· Get to the show early to beat the crowds! Parking is better and you can take a shuttle from parking on Watson Island to Bayside for the sailboat show and the Marriott for the powerboat show.

· The weekends are very busy. To spend some quality time with me or on board without the crowds set up an appointment during a weekday or before or after the show.  Staley@catamarans.com or 954-494-7569.

· If you are getting serious, ask for all the paperwork in advance i.e. documents that will be hard to focus on at the show. (Purchase agreements, charter management options, detailed specifications, options and pricing.)

· Are planning to finance your yacht purchase? Ask me how you can get pre-approved now for a loan before the show.

· Did you know that if you are up to 2 years out from your plans to own a new yacht your hull reservation could be placed in the production schedule for any slot available near your planned ownership date?  The benefit for you is a reduced pricing guarantee and your options would not need to be defined for months.

· If you are looking for a pre-owned yacht make an appointment before or after the show as you will only find new yachts at the show.  Most pre-owned yachts are in Ft. Lauderdale and can on be shown at 7:00 AM during show dates.

· Ask now about any show specials or discounts available.

If you are looking for a new catamaran, a major boat show such as Miami really provides the best atmosphere to get a first-hand look at what is new to the catamaran industry. If you are looking for a pre-owned catamaran contact me now to learn what is on the market.
