Paradise Connections attended the St. Maarten Charter Yacht Exhibition, that was held at the Yacht Club Port de Plaisance in Simpson Bay Lagoon, Sint Maarten, Netherland Antilles from December 5 to 8, 2005.This was the second year of the annual event and we feel they did a very good job and hope more yachts will enroll in next year's charter yacht show (more sail boats please). Once again, the show offered free wi-fi and complementary continental breakfast. It is a great venue for the charter yacht show as the airport, hotels, and a wide variety of good restaurants are close by (as opposed to the Antigua show). The folks at the St. Maarten Charter Yacht Exhibition also provided free water taxi service to travel between the various marinas, plus they scheduled shuttles to transport brokers from their hotels to the show.
The evening events were fun and interesting... The Taste of St. Maarten evening allowed us to sample the fare of various, good restaurants from both the French side of St. Martin and the Dutch side of Sint Maarten, and we mustn't forget to also thank the companies that supplied beverages and open bar. The Yacht Hops are always enjoyable. M/Y Harmony definitely won the prize for most lively entertainment!
Thank you for a job well done. We look forward to next year's show!
