The first Sydney Superyacht Show was held from the 1st until the 3rd August 2014, and displayed some of Australia’s finest pre-owned yachts at the Sydney Superyacht Marina. Australian Superyachts, Geoff Lovett International, Fraser Yachts, Ray White Marine, Sunseeker Select, Marlow Explorer &amp; Chapman all featured yachts in the show. <img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150068/image/large-342e25aefd08bc6f530eea8f23008724.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150068">Organiser Richard Morris from Australian Superyachts was pleased with the turnout and commented, “the show is not mainstream, and is essentially invite-only based on broker leads. We are purposely aiming for the top 5% rather than the general public targeted sector that the Sydney Boat Show goes for; we want hundreds of visitors here, not thousands.”The show was certainly a success, with the sale of two yachts being concluded at the show, along with several yachts under serious offer and one yacht sold a few days following the event. The combined value of superyachts on display was over $40,000,000 (AUD), setting a high precedent for future shows.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150069/image/large-23bd1a4282b75db89f71585d6929e1a5.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150069">Jan Borgelt from OzForex commented, “the event provided great exposure for our brand and are confident that we will be in a position to convert the interest expressed during the event into new clients”. Todd Kiernan from Heliflite said that “helicopters and superyachts go hand in hand so the Show was a perfect fit for us. We’ll certainly be participating again next year.”One way in which the shows aim to recapture the success of the first show is with Marina re-developments. Sydney Superyacht Marina will be redeveloping the Marina in a $30,000,000 project, which is due to be completed over the course of the next few years and heighten the success the show has seen in its inaugural event.<img alt="" src="https://syt-store-production.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/photo/150070/image/large-e76313c84affa131f7e70474aea61a99.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/150070">The 2015 Sydney Superyacht Show will be extended to run over four days next year from 30 July to 2 August. The number of yachts and exhibitors is expected to increase significantly with plans for the second show already underway.By Maarten Janssen
