Autumn Boat Shows

September is almost here which means that it’s time for the team at Grabau International to pack their travel bag and head off to some boat shows.

First up is the ever- impressive the Cannes Yachting Festival which begins on the 6th September and runs through to the 11th. As the first major show in the Autumn season, the Cannes Yachting Festival is one of Europe’s leading in-water boating events. The major players in pleasure yachting come here to launch the show season by showcasing their new worldwide models. Nearly 600 boats are displayed in water and on land in two locations, including around one hundred world premieres. Grabau International will be in attendance on 8th-9th. If you would like to meet at the show to discuss your yachting requirements, please contact us.

Shortly after the Cannes Yachting Festival is our own personal favourite – The Southampton Boat Show which begins on the 16th September and runs through to the 25th. With one of Europe’s largest purpose-built marinas, now in its 48^th year, the event will showcase the very best that the international marine industry has to offer with thousands of boats, brands and equipment on display, featuring the very latest world launches from powerboats to sail. Grabau International will be attending throughout the show with appointments available to view locally-based brokerage listings which include:-

Finally, overlapping with the Southampton Show is the Salone Nautico show in Genoa which runs from 20th September through to the 25th. Now in its 56th year, the Genoa show is a showcase for Italian yacht builders and as such Grabau International will be there with Vismara Marine who will be displaying their the fantastic V52DS ‘DRAGON’ and newly launched V62 Mills ‘WIZARD’.
