The Palm Cay development is set to attend this year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show for the third consecutive year.

“Focusing energy on the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show is a natural strategy for us, because Palm Cay was designed with those who love the water and boating in mind,” said its director of sales and marketing, Zachary ‘Zack’ Bonczek.

“One of our offerings, for instance, is the 2,000 square foot, 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath, Starfish Isle town home with travertine tile on the main floor, wood floors on the second level, appliances and large beachfront terraces and balconies.

“You’re on 1,200 feet of beachfront right at your front door, with a 194-slip marina within walking distance in a tax-friendly environment, year-round warm weather and friendly people. That makes for a pretty enticing package.”

Scheduled to run until November 4, this year’s show will take place over three million square feet in Broward County, with water taxis, shuttles and buses taking show-goers between three venues.

To stand out among the crowd, Palm Cay plans a boat show photo opp - its representatives will walk through the crowd inviting attendees to jump in for a quick pic saying ‘I love Palm Cay’ with a Palm Cay coozie, which they can take home as a show souvenir.

M Bonczek said other marinas will be represented, adding that boat shows have been magnets for sales opportunities. He cited one Bahamian firm that sent a representative to last month’s Monaco boat show.

“We don’t mind the competition at all,” he said. “In fact, the more Bahamian marinas and real estate developments, the better. It all brings more attention to the Bahamas and we believe that with eyes on our islands, we have the best mid-priced, active lifestyle for boaters in New Providence and possibly the best in the country.”
