Valencia on board: a new slogan for the Valencia Boat Show
- The Valencian exhibition is the first in Spain to offer test boat sailing at sea to visitors
- Two whole days of sailing test boats, on 31st October and 1st November
The Valencia Boat Show has presented its new corporate image, which features the slogan “Valencia Navega”, or its English version, “Valencia on board”, a clear reference to one of the exhibition’s main attractions, the opportunity to test boats at sea. The Valencian exhibition, taking place from 31st October to 6th November, will offer the opportunity to sail on board the latest models for two whole days, Monday 31st October and Tuesday 1st November.
The event has already confirmed attendance of more than 120 new craft from leading brands in the sector, 50 of which are new models that will be out on the water and available to test at sea. This way, visitors will have the opportunity to sail along the Valencian coastline aboard these test boats before deciding on a model. You just have to send an email to info@valenciaboat.com or contact the local representative of the brand you are interested in.
“This comes following the demand from boat builders to offer the possibility to test boats at sea, as they do at the main boat shows in France” says Fernando Jiménez, president of the Union de Empresas Nauticas (UEN) and organiser of the Valencia Boat Show. The Marina Real Juan Carlos I offers great infrastructures which allow us to provide this opportunity, so we see no reason not to”, assures the president.
“We chose the slogan “Valencia on board”, because it perfectly reflects this novel feature of testing boats out at sea, novel because we are the first exhibition in Spain to offer this to visitors. In addition, Valencia is becoming increasingly open to the sea, and the coast of Valencia offers great conditions for sailing throughout the year, which we believe will also contribute to the success of the boat show. Valencia’s on board, and will be all year”, added Jiménez, responsible for the Valencia Boat Show.
Heading towards a new horizon
The Valencia Boat Show also has a new poster, created and designed by the Talentum Group, which shows the bow of a boat pointing towards the horizon. “We wanted to emphasise the show’s opportunity to go out sailing on the boats, while offering a dynamic and powerful image suitable for this exhibition, which has reinvented itself since last year and has high aims”, noted the show’s organisers.
The sector’s leading brands, such as Bavaria, Beneteau, Dufour, Hanse and Jeanneau, have already confirmed they will be exhibiting at the boat show in Valencia, which will combine five days open to professionals with two days open to the general public. This will be a very nautical November for the city, which is becoming more and more of an important nautical destination both nationally and internationally.
About the Valencia Boat Show:
The new Valencia Boat Show aims to become a benchmark exhibition for the marine industry in Spain and will be held this year from 31st October until 6th November. Following the show’s steady growth over the past several editions, the 2016 Valencia Boat Show is back with a new format tailored to the major European boat builders and their sales network in the Spanish market.
The “Marina Real Juan Carlos I” in Valencia will welcome the most comprehensive range of industry developments this autumn, with more than 50 new boats on show from the 2016 season along with one important new element: two days of on-water boat testing.
