Tired of listening to me talk about how good our yachts are.  Then don’t!  Listen to what our owners and captains are saying.  Here’s two recent emails I received that talk about the summer experience on two different LSX75’s located in the Med.

So how was the Dubai Boat Show?

Overall attendance was the same if not more than last year and specifically for us it was a good show.  This was the first year we had a boat in the show, while previous years we only had a display.  Having the actual product there was an important [...]

Dubai Marina is actually a city within a city.  Essentially its one of the worlds largest marinas with housing, shopping, restaurants and of course dock space.  It’s a great tour by the waterway as you weave in and amongst the huge buildings each with their own unique shapes.  The waterway weaves through this city for [...]

We couldn’t get the boat out from the show yesterday as they were still moving docks around.  So in the meantime we went for a tour around the area.  In Dubai the one thing they certainly have is malls, big ones and lots of them.  The Dubai Mall has one of the largest aquariums in [...]

Day 3 of the Dubai Show 
The show continues to have a steady flow of traffic.  I would say that it is the same as last year with no drop in overall attendance.  One of the nice things about the show is that it is open from 3pm – 9:30pm.  So the crowds really get largest [...]

So day 1 of the Dubai Boat Show is behind us.  My favorite quote, possibly of the year, is one that appeared in the local newspaper Gulf News, “With property prices declining in Dubai, a boat is a more stable investment”  Sounds good to me.  According to Gulf News there are 721 companies participating in [...]
