YV&C International Yacht Vacations & Charters Magazine reports:

The 44th Annual Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting opened with 111 yachts attending. This year was the show's most popular year ever since its inception 44 years ago. Several European yacht management companies which did not participate at the Ft. Lauderdale International Boat Show due to hurricane Wilma were all present in Antigua. The first day of the Antigua show was also the last day of St. Maarten Charter Yacht Exhibition. Due to overlapping dates this year, many brokers left St. Maarten before that show officially closed. "The second day in St. Maarten was pretty slow," said one broker YV&C news desk spoke with. Many brokers and industry participants opted to visit both islands.

Both St. Maarten Charter Yacht Exhibition in its second year and Antigua Charter Yacht Meeting are industry events, which are closed to public.

In addition to the press and crew, agents from the following companies registered to attend this year's show:
