Behind the Scenes Of A Luxury Boat Show

As Abide arrives at St. Thomas for the USVI Charter Yacht Show, we’re pulling back the curtain on what really goes into preparing a yacht for brokers, clients and customers.

In this episode, I’m joined again by our chef, Vanessa Verster, who’s had her hands full for the last couple of months with everything from crafting menus to styling a Japanese-inspired theme to leave an impression on brokers looking for new charter opportunities.

Prepare to feel hungry again as we dive into what it’s like to host brokers aboard Abide, the high standards expected at these shows, and the creative ways Vanessa and the crew keep things interesting. 

Highlights from this episode:

• What it takes to prepare for a boat show, from the décor to the menu.
• Inside the broker-client relationship and how boats are chosen for charter.
• How we’re going green to meet the show’s requirements.
• Vanessa’s menu plan and the crew’s role in creating a memorable experience.
• A flavored water competition and the Japanese theme for Abide!
• And much more…
