Maritimo sent a team of executives to the recent Miami show and its four-boat display attracted strong interest with several sales under negotiation.

Maritimo’s International Sales and Marketing Manager, Greg Haines, said the overall atmosphere and feel at the show was very positive and he expected this to continue to flow through at the Palm Beach International Boat Show starting on 22 March.

“Numbers were up in Miami, but more importantly the people who were there were strong prospects and deals will definitely come from the show,” he said.

“Our S51 and M51 models were a hit with the Miami attendees and our USA based dealer partner, Galati Yacht Sales, is currently finalising negotiations with several expected purchasers.”

Haines said on the business front the Trump initiated tax cuts were having a positive impact and ‘people were spending’.

Maritimo will have three boats on display at Palm Beach, the M and S51’s and an M54. The Palm Beach International Boat Show is in its 32nd year and will see more than $1.2 billion dollars worth of vessels ranging from eight feet to more than 150 feet displayed. It is one of the three largest on water boat shows in the world.
