in the World. For what that's worth.
17 big halls filled with stuff for boaters, fishermen, divers, marina's, boat rentals,surfing, kayaking, country promoting, clothing and more....
Went for the first time last Tuesday and to find out that especially the amount of the real big yachts in hall 6 the last years is shrinking. Not only into the amount but also into the seize. Some builders who used to have their big boats were only present with much smaller boats.
Saturday I went with the Admirable for the second time. Could it be done in one day only? I don't think so. Again there were a lot new boats presented here as usual. I also saw an American charter company from Bellington WA. NW explorations it's called. This year our Marina didn't show Meridians but showed the new SeaRay 355? made in Poland. Taht boat has a gadget, it can electrically lower the very nice stern cockpit table with the SeaRay logo carved in to the proper height to make a sun pad. For those who can live with a fixed berth separated from the galley with a wooden wall it was a nice boat nice hull colours with a good price of around Ôé¼ K 200.
Also the bigger SeaRays were present. The bigger ones imho are far to high priced, compared to some other players in that market segment.
Some trends were the growing amount of in Poland built yachts and the German builder Bavaria enter the bigger motor yacht segment. The Dutch boatbuilders were present in an own hall showing what we are so good in. The Ray Marine new E71 Chart plotter was present but no demo's.
Did I find what I was looking for? Yes, I hope so according to one of our sales guys who showed us all the SeaRays, I could buy the wooden table with the Bayliner logo in. Overall conclusion the weekends a fair lot of visitors, during the week it was ver quiet. Despite the crises a lot new boats were introduced especially in the 35'+ segment. I was some what disappointed not to see Lowrence but when we left in the last hall with fishing gear there they were. They are good looking units. But we needed beer and some thing to eat like French fries (from the Netherlands) and Brat wurst.
