“Every show takes months to confirm its success, however the mood was positive,” reports Cromwell Littlejohn, US commercial director at Camper & Nicholsons International. “The revised dates (starting on Wednesday and ending on Sunday) were very well received, with VIP Day (Wednesday) providing some of the most positive contacts of the show.”
He described the new signage and zones as “a bit confusing”, but admitted that clients and brokers will likely become accustomed to them before long.
Turning to the Caribbean, Littlejohn explains: “Charterers are eager to be provided with concrete details as to recovery status and are anxious to return as soon as it is viable.”
Camper & Nicholsons’ fleet at FLIBS 2017 included the 39.24 metre Newcastle Marine motor yacht Safira (pictured above).
