The 52nd annual Fort Lauderdale Boat Show opened Thursday, October 28, 2011with the Prime Time Preview. Thursday had LOTS OF PEOPLE show up for opening day. The weekend saw people in the tents during the rain and on the docks in between. Captain-Net clients were pleased with the attendee numbers and response. Show Management has yachts and exhibitors stretching to the horizon at four different locations this year. Major yacht sales have been up this past year and we saw higher interest for the Show.
Captain-Net web site design clients are out in force this year with more than ever before. With new websites at the Boat Show are Bradford Marine, Megafend, Yacht Chandlers and Catamarans for Sale. See more news below...
