"ShowBoats International has over the years featured many superb
yachts. Studying these features has allowed Alloy and our customers to keep
abreast of styling and the décor of the world’s finest yachts. ShowBoats’
honoring of design at its annual Rendezvous provides a forum with which
to benchmark the development of the entire industry."
Tony Hambrook, Managing Director
Alloy Yachts International LTD
"As a large yacht owner, and an early subscriber, I’ve found no
magazine better understands and more accurately depicts the passion involved in
designing, building and owning a big boat than ShowBoats International. This is
a passion reflected not only in the beauty and intelligence of its pages, but in
its leadership within the industry through its events, awards and charitable
activities."
Charles Gallagher, Owner, Cakewalk
"There are only two relevant developments over the last 16 years:
There are many more yachts and they are much larger. As with almost anything,
bigger is not necessarily prettier; it is sometimes just more of the same. What
Showboats does well is point out the fine ones. Highlighting these
qualities, while not shying away from the ‘oh my gosh’ when another monster hits
the water (because these big things are true achievements of mankind) is
what makes ShowBoats so enjoyable.
Henk de Vries III, Managing Director
De Vries Scheepsbouw
"More than any other magazine, ShowBoats has celebrated the
joy and beauty of owning a big boat. Through its events and charities,
it has also created and defined the common ground for the luxury
yacht community."
