Additionally, Flannery added that the move improves the experience for both new and brokerage vessels and reenergises a waterfront long tied to Miami’s boating culture.Moreover, the debuting Sailor’s Cove is a new hub for sailboats, catamarans, sailing gear, education and lifestyle programming. The area will feature upgraded docks, modern marina amenities, a dedicated Park &amp; Ride system and on-site training hosted by the Annapolis School of Seamanship.“Positioning the Yacht Collection closer to the show’s main hub at the Miami Beach Convention Center and having a cohesive destination for sailing are rooted in delivering what attendees consistently ask for ease, ensuring smoother navigation and a more connected experience,” said National Marine Manufacturers Association President &amp; CEO Frank Hugelmeyer.One ticket provides access to all locations, including the Miami Beach Convention Center &amp; Pride Park, the Miami Beach Yacht Collection and SuperYacht Miami &amp; Sailor’s Cove. The show continues its charitable commitments, with proceeds supporting the Miami Cupid Splash and a $250,000 annual contribution to community initiatives in Miami Beach.
