The 2006 charter yacht show was a great success with over sixty yachts in attendance to show off their charter yachts to over seventy plus brokers who came from the United States, Europe along with the local brokers from the U.S.V.I. and the BVI. Having Village Cay marina in Road Town as the venue with the yachts backed into the slips, made for easy access for the brokers viewing and networking with the onboard crews. The show was staged November 7th through the 10th. The morning's breakfasts during the show featured guest speakers from various industry companies that also included representatives from the marine division of the BVI government.
During the show, there were culinary contests by attending yachts competing for awards given out by Columbian Emeralds. A gala reception at Government House hosted later in the evening of November 9th by Governor David Pearey and his wife was well attended. Friday the 10th was the broker appreciation dinner hosted by Nanny Cay marina with the best of show award being presented to the yacht "Wonderful". November 11th was a special day where many of the visiting brokers were treated to a day trip to Anegada with a luncheon and plenty of beach time.
