The 2007 FLL Boat Show spanning over 3 million square feet in 6 locations drew to a close Monday October 29th under gray overcast skies, but spirits were high as horns blew from Mega and Super Yachts indicating the end of a successful long weekend. Sighs of relief where heard from all those who worked tirelessly to answer questions and show off the 2 billion dollars worth of yachts and latest technology to the thousands who visited over 4 days.
The most impressive yachts were the $130 Million 223’ Lurrsen Kismet, 164’ Trinity Mine Games, Milk and Honey 125’ Palmer Johnson and Argyll 153’ North American.
We were fortunate to have boarded these yachts and meet with the crew of:
Milk and Honey 125’ Palmer Johnson,

M/Y Symphony II the 112’ Westport whose proud owner led us on a tour to show us around with pride. No expense is too much for his passion. From the special blinds to let in just enough light without blocking out the view, to the bidets with blowers, glass bottom kayaks, the 30’ Intrepid and exercise equipment.
In the owners words, Symphony II offers 5 star luxury in casual elegance.
The buzz around town is that the show was successful for brokers and retailers alike.
