Following the success of the award-winning Yacht Brokers Village at boat shows last winter, we have been asked many times about the schedule for 2009. For those of you who do not know, the Yacht Brokers Village is a new concept that brings brokerage to boat shows in an innovative and eye-catching way. It is both engaging and informative for the buyer, plus a rich source of new business for brokers.

We have been in discussions with all the major boat shows in Europe to feature the Yacht Brokers Village, because it is most successful when supported and promoted by the show organisers. So far, we have agreements in place with the following events:

• Southampton International Boat Show opening on 11th September
• Barcelona Boat Show opening on 7th November
• Salon Nautique de Paris opening on 4th December
• London International Boat Show opening on 8th January
• boot Düsseldorf opening on 23rd January

Participating brokers are able to present their boats for sale on eye-catching professional displays, as part of an open and inviting stand. The Yacht Brokers Village is manned by knowledgeable and experienced YachtWorld staff who will help buyers conduct a search of the boats on display. The resultant enquiry will then be sent straight to you. In the event you have a stand in the same show, we will call you and send the client over. Find out more at www.yachtbrokersvillage.com.

To be kept in touch with the details of the event nearest you, please pre-register today so that we can gauge the amount of space we need at each one. Additionally, if you can think of a boat show not on the list above at which the Yacht Brokers Village should be, email us today.
