Planning on stopping by?  Let us know: support@yacht.com will make sure we have enough food.  If you can’t make it and would like to leave a comment here for us – I’ll be sure to get back to you (but I can’t promise sending lunch over).

We at Yacht.com  are here to talk to everyone, from boaters checking out new products on the dock, to dealers hoping to generate strong leads and sales in a challenging economic year for boating.  We want to find out what the manufacturers are saying about their new models, what’s the hottest new development we are seeing with engineers and what kinds of deals are out there right now – when we all are looking for the best deals.

In our own web world, we are enthusiastic that in this time, it seems we all need a place to gather, virtually as it may be.  Some great experts within their fields will be contributing to this blog on topics like marine finance, buying and selling your boat and the vast topics of marine insurance.  We’re talking to service mangers who will be offering tips as we roll into spring and we all begin to draw the boats out of winter storage.

If you are attending the Miami Boat Show this year – let us know how you are finding it.  Anything we should check out before the show closes on Monday?  With multiple locations, everyone needs a direct link to the good stuff. (pun intended)
