Fast forward to 2019, and the show is bigger than ever. The newly located Superyacht Village at Pier 66 boldly marked this edition of the show, and will now provide a special and secluded spot for those working in the 40 metre plus range\u2026<br \/>\n        While this experimental change of location might have divided the crowds &#8211; the sky-high temperatures making it difficult to hop between the main show and the superyacht village without leaving the shade &#8211; there\u2019s one thing for sure; FLIBS is still storming ahead in the boat show race with the American Market hot on its tail.\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nWalking the docks from the October 30th to November 3rd, the Superyachts.com media team came face to face with the industry; each member of the superyacht community stressing just how important this show truly is to their business. Despite the rocketing heat, crowds persisted. Those attendees interested in catching a glimpse of yachting lifestyle rubbed shoulders with those serious about buying their next vessel; a mix that isn\u2019t generally seen elsewhere in the world of superyacht shows.<br \/>\nBut what does this indicate about the American Market? Perhaps it\u2019s that US buyers are keener than ever to purchase; enjoying the comradery of Fort Lauderdale\u2019s docks along the way. Or perhaps it\u2019s the sheer inventory that\u2019s too good to miss; with 200 yachts on show this year, there\u2019s no better range to view; from the impeccably designed 48 Wally Tender to the iconic Amels 83 metre, Here Comes the Sun.<br \/>\nSpeaking with Mauro Parodi, Senior Vice President of shipyard Fincantieri Yachts the importance of attending the show was stressed \u201cIt\u2019s an important show, one of the most important in the US for the US market [&#8230;] It\u2019s natural to be here. We could not miss.\u201d Stefano di Vivo, CCO of Ferretti Yachts also echoed the importance of attendance. He began, \u201cThis is where the market is. Everyone comes to Fort Lauderdale &#8211; from South America to North America &#8211; whether they like it or not, if they are interested in a boat they\u2019ll come to see it here!\u201d<br \/>\nSo with plenty of interest reported, high attendance and positive feedback overall, we look forward to seeing the sales and successes reported following the show. We also look forward to seeing the new and further improved Superyacht Village return next year. In the meantime, you can watch our full round up video of the week\u2019s action above.
