Good Afternoon:
I thought you might be interested in the activity from the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show last week.
The activity at the Westport display was outstanding, many current owners with a good amount of new clientele came through our new and brokerage boats. Westport is currently working on a contract on a new 85’ Pacific Mariner. We secured a purchase on a new 112’ Westport and are waiting on a final contract agreement on a new 40 meter.
In speaking with fellow brokers in the industry, overall, sales were down.
Viking reports only three new boat owners, which is down from the normal double digit order book.
Hatteras blew out existing inventory, talk on the dock was they sold an in-stock 90’ motor yacht. They are still sitting on a 105’ cockpit yacht that is now two years old.
Brokerage activity was next to nothing. The sportfish dock, which features all brands represented by HMY, Galati, Luke Brown and many others, had a fantastic line-up of clean product, but, no activity.
Hopefully, we will see an increase in interest over the next few months and have better results at the Miami Boat Show in February.
As always, should you have any questions or if I may be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call.
Best regards,
Jeff Oliver
