BOAT Briefing

This week Cecile and Katia look back on a very busy Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show during the last days of a long and hot US presidential campaign, from creative marketing by yacht King Benji to the press conferences there, including the introduction by Sunseeker of the company’s two new owners, the launch of a new Riva Residenze on Fort Lauderdale Beach and an unusual and much noticed boat show visitor, a Maine Coone cat named Romeo. Katia tells us why is looking forward to the upcoming Yacht Explorer Summit kicking off November 13 at the Monaco yacht club and highlights two speakers, TV personality Monty Hall and REV CEO Nina Jensen. The two also reveal their yacht brokerage picks of the week and review some of the week’s international yachting news. https://www.boatinternational.com/luxury-yacht-events/explorer-yachts-summit/everything-you-need-to-know-2024 https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/editorial-features/dunya-yachts-king-benji-superyacht https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/fort-lauderdale-international-boat-show https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro/news/sunseeker-yachts-sold-orienta-lionheart  https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro/news/ferretti-riva-residendenze-project-flibs-2024 https://www.boatinternational.com/yacht-market-intelligence/brokerage-sales-news/pendennis-sailing-catamaran-hemisphere-for-sale https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/editorial-features/benetti-37m-byond-hybrid-yacht BOAT Pro: https://www.boatinternational.com/boat-pro Subscribe: https://www.boatinternational.com/subscriptions Contact us: [email protected]
