Sites shift for 2016 Miami shows

By Lucy Chabot Reed Here you are, working at the “Miami show”. But where are you, really?

There are actually two boat shows going on right now: the 27th annual Yacht & Brokerage Show (the in-water show here on Collins Avenue) and the 74th Miami International Boat Show & Strictly Sail (at the convention center, hereinafter called MIBS).

Much of the megayacht industry is at the Yacht and Brokerage Show, set up between 41st and 51st streets in the Indian Creek waterway in Miami Beach.

This show is co-owned by the Florida Yacht Brokers Association and Show Management. It’s free and open to the public.

The other Miami show, MIBS, is housed primarily in the Miami Beach Convention Center and owned by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA). It features mostly trailerable boats, but has added an in-water portion at Sea Isle Marina on Bayshore Drive and also includes Strictly Sail at Miamarina at Bayside.

Tickets are $20 per day.

New docks begin in St. Kitts, Nevis

By Lucy Chabot Reed Christophe Harbour in St. Kitts is having its grand opening this weekend.

The marina has space for yachts up to 300 feet and welcomed its first yacht in December.

Capt. Scott Fratcher of the 90-foot charter yacht M/Y Orion is there this weekend and said the marina “completes the triangle between Antigua, St. Maarten and, now, St. Kitts.” (See more photos on the-triton. com.)

Not to miss out, construction is expected to start this month on a new marina on Nevis, Tamarind Cove in

Cades Bay on the northwestern end of the island. The project takes over the existing Seabridge pier and plans to add about 100 slips to the north of it and 4550 slips to the south.

Slip lengths will be flexible but should accommodate yachts to at least 150 feet; one face dock can fit 300 feet of yacht. The channel is 14 feet deep; the turning basin is 15 feet.

To get the project under way, about 25 percent of the slips will be available for sale, said Adrian Dozier, director of Tamarind Cove Marina Development. It should be ready in 14 months, he said.

Virtual tour brings idea to life How can a buyer walk through a yacht that’s not even built yet? Through a virtual reality system with a creative edge.

Dominator Yachts has developed its Ilumen Virtual Reality system for its new 26m Ilumen Series yacht, being built in Italy. I donned the virtual headset and, with a shuffle of my feet and panning of my head, I was easily traversing the virtual yacht from stem to stern, top to bottom.

Walking around the bow, through doors, and up and down stairs while taking in each room and outside scenery was effortless. It allows anyone to get a sense of the visibility from the lower helm, the layout of space, and an overall feel that may not be conveyed through drawings.

Users can make changes to the yacht as they peer through the goggles, including the types of fabrics, woods, finishes, colors and more. And what the user sees is also displayed on a separate

TV for others to view, also.

“It gives a real feel for the yacht,” Dominator CEO Alex Langhein said.

“And it has helped to sell the new yacht.”

Last year, the yachtie show here on Collins announced plans to expand to the Island Gardens Marina on the MacArthur Causeway (I-395) but the new project isn’t quite ready. Moran Yacht & Ship has one yacht there this year, the 152-foot Hakvoort M/Y Allegria. More of the show is planned for there next year, but organizers couldn’t say exactly what until the project gets a little further along.

The MIBS show is forced to move out of the convention center next year as work on that facility gets under way, so it plans to move to a renovated Miami Marine Stadium, the historic bandstand on the cutout on Virginia Key, a bit farther south of Miami off the Rickenbacker Causeway.

Lawsuits linger over the traffic and impact redevelopment there would have on the surrounding neighborhoods, so it’s not yet certain what next year’s MIBS will look like either. The stadium and its surrounding areas have been

closed since Hurricane Andrew in 1992, but once hosted concerts, speedboat races and scores of boaters just enjoying the bay. In 2009, it was listed one of the 11 most endangered historic places in America.

The city voted against a multimillion-dollar plan to build a flex park there, complete with dry storage and a marine exhibition center. Instead, it committed to a $16 million bond to upgrade the area east of the stadium with power, drainage, lighting and roadway improvements, which would be enough to host MIBS. Back at Island Gardens, Miami Beach agreed about a month ago to do its own traffic study of the MacArthur Causeway to see if the marina project would impact that roadway too much, leaving open its legal options should the results be troublesome.

Both of next year’s Miami boat shows will look different. Just how much, though, no one is quite sure.
