Ahoy, me matey at Docklands Summer Boat Show

by Ben Sandman on 19 Jan 2007
Aussie Boat Sales’ impressive fleet of luxury cruisers, yachts and sportsboats will take ground on the shore of an ‘uncharted desert isle’ in Victoria Harbour during the Melbourne Docklands Summer Boat Show, 2-4 February 2007.

Gilligan, the Skipper too, the Millionaire and his Wife, the Movie Star, the Professor and Mary Ann – and even a few pirates – will all be there on Aussie Boat Sales’ Isle.

Taking boat show exhibits to an entertaining new level, Aussie Boat Sales’ Scott O’Hare said the friendly and experienced sales team would do its very best to make boat show visitors comfortable in the ‘tropic island nest’.

'Unlike Gilligan’s Island there will be plenty of luxury on our island – namely onboard the first-class vessels we’ll display,' Mr O’Hare said.

'The superbly-appointed Maritimo 60 long-range cruiser will attract plenty of deserved attention, as will the latest from Delphia Yachts, Deep V, Chaparral, Mustang Pleasure Boats and Honda Marine.'

Of particular interest to Melbourne-based boating enthusiasts will be the new Deep V 310 SE (Express). Exclusively designed for southern waters, the boat’s appointments, functionality and ease of handling will ensure very broad appeal.

'We’ve worked closely with Deep V to develop a vessel specifically for the southern boating market,' Mr O’Hare said.

'Suitable for fishing, family cruising or simply socialising onboard while moored at The Anchorage Marina, this vessel is a far cry from the SS Minnow – in fact, we’ve already taken advance orders for this classy, cosmopolitan cruiser.'
