Virtual reality at Cape Town Boat Show
The annual Cape Town International Boat Show will be taking place from 20-22 October 2017 at the V&A Waterfront and one South African boating brand is pulling out all the stops to make sure it will be the best of its kind!
Boating World will again be a main exhibitor at the event, with their biggest display to date. Visitors to the show can expect to see yachts on display from their stable of prestigious international brands including Fairline, Jeanneau, Riviera and Sea Ray.
A new innovation for 2017 will be their first ever Virtual Reality (VR) display, where prospective buyers will have the opportunity to step aboard new yacht models that are not yet available in South Africa. With their sales team have just returned from a successful trip to Cannes Yacht Festival, they are enthusiastic to share their insights on the new yachts, as well as the leading trends from the European yacht market, as they walk guests through the latest models on the market in virtual reality.
This year Boating World has also partnered with the glamorous new Vista Marina restaurant for a VIP guest tent. Cape Town Boat Show visitors can also book for brunch or lunch at Vista Marina and enjoy the atmosphere of the boat show whilst listening to great music and sipping cocktails.
Karl Gilding from Fairline Yachts will also be joining Boating World at this year’s event. Karl will be on hand to discuss the exciting developments Fairline has in store, like the re-launch of the Targa 43 Open in 2018 and Fairline’s latest project – the ‘F-Line’ series, a brand new 33ft express cruiser, which will be ready for delivery in 2019.
Just in time for summer, Boating World will also have some incredible boat show specials on pre-owned boats as well as exciting co-ownership offers for new and preowned boats.
Referred to as ‘the grand-daddy of boat shows on the African continent’ the event has been attracting thousands of boat-mad visitors since it was first established 16 years ago and with these exciting new developments, it promises to be the best event ever!
