Assessment of the 2019 boat shows and market trends

2019 is coming to an end, it's time to take stock of the boat shows in France and elsewhere!

Highly anticipated events every year, boat shows welcome a considerable number of visitors and exhibitors from all over the world every year. All boat enthusiasts therefore find themselves at these various privileged events perfect for considering the purchase of a boat. All kinds of boats are exhibited both docked and afloat: motor boats, sails, semi-rigid... and it's sometimes possible to try out some of the boats exhibited afloat.

Usually during boat shows special offers are proposed by the professional exhibitors but this is not the only interest of these events. World boat shows are also an opportunity to make contacts in the boating world near you.

Logi Service, for example, is used to frequent contact with yachtsmen looking for a drop-off point for sale or rent in Port Grimaud with mooring or at least close to the sea. This is why we are always on the lookout at boat shows in France, Europe and elsewhere to keep up with the latest trends.
