The University of Macerata launches a new Master’s programme designed to train future specialists in nautical marketing, communication, and journalism…
Tim Norris, Senior Yacht Broker for boatpoint at Deacons Marina, comments, “We’re excited to showcase our range of new and used boats available for handover this year. The boatpoint Boat Show kicks off the boating season in style, with a long weekend of boat shopping! We wanted to run the show in parallel with the South Coast and Green Tech Boat Show to give people travelling to the region an opportunity to view both the new and used boats we have available. For those considering selling their boat before the season starts, there are huge savings to be made on preparing your boat for sale, plus competitive rates on brokerage and storage services as part of the event. The weekend will no doubt bring in plenty of boat viewings and offers from buyers.”
Flagship new boats on display include the Quarken 27 Cabin – great for all-year-round boating, the Quarken 27 Open, and the Yamarin 63 DC (day cruiser) – great options for a last minute family getaway.
Held in the newly re-developed boatyard nestled along the stunning River Hamble, visitors can take advantage of the onsite facilities, including the newly launched Seahorse Bistro, boatcare, for all boating maintenance and advice, plus the opportunity to meet the marina crew and find out the latest berthing opportunities.
Andrew adds, “The boatpoint sales team will be on hand to discuss the latest market trends and can guide you around any boat on display that piques your interest. Anyone new to boating is encouraged to ask our sales team about boat subscription memberships and training packages!”
boatpoint is part of the boatfolk marina group, with 11 marinas around the UK coastline. Customers buying a boat with boatpoint will have access to exclusive berthing discounts and can discover the benefits of berthing with boatfolk, including a nation-wide cruising pass giving berth holders the freedom to cruise between the 11 boatfolk marinas for up to 300 nights per year.
Sea trials can be arranged in advance by speaking to the Deacons Marina team on 023 8040 2253.
