Other attractions would be trade stalls and entertainments, very popular among visitors each and every year. The Rio Boat Show opens its doors on 14 May and lasts until 20 May at Marina da Gloria. The show is organized by GR Mar Eventos and it is considered to be a very charming boat show that each and every year shows the latest developments in boats.

We will continue this article by presenting what we consider to be the top attractions at the 12th Rio de Janeiro Boat Show. We will start with the Sailboat Bavaria 44 Vision which is the main member of the German Boat Show. This boat offers 3 large and spacious bedrooms and a state-of-the-art bathroom. The boat’s design draws attention thanks to the bold lines of the cabin, with the panoramic windows in the soft curves that flaw naturally. The performance of this boat is achieved with a more Velicer area and a high performance pole as well as a system of internal passage of sheet along with auxiliary engines that provide more power than before.

Moving on, we briefly present the Rio Yacxo Shipyard which will debut at the boat show this year. It is the only boat that measures 33 feet and offers two enclosed cabins and double beds. Six people can comfortably sleep on the board mainly because the "V" shaped sofa can be transformed into a third bed for two people. The cockpit of the boat has plenty of space for 12 people and in the construction of the cockpit the manufacturers used glass fiber and PVC foam which resulted in a very resistant yet light boat.

United State’s biggest attraction will be the Lazzara 74, forerunner of the boat that revolutionized the waters. With the LSX 92, launched just last Fort Lauderdale Boat Show, the Lazzara, almost a family business had already collected a sea of praise with the previous model, the LSX 75, seems to have come very close to the answer. So with other words, the Lazzara 74 will surely be a great hit. The Lazzara 74 is equipped with 4 Volvo IPS engines which are considered to be extremely efficient in terms of fuel consumption as well as silence and airworthiness issues.

Last but not least, at the 2009 Rio Boat Show, visitors can take a glance at the revitalized Delta 32. The Delta is the largest manufacturer of sailboats in the country and this year will re-launch one of its popular boats, the Delta 32. This boat now comes with a lot of interior innovations that provide extended comfort in comparison with the anterior model. The boat offers two cabins for 4 people and a large bathroom and other facilities for a relaxing stay.

All things considered, the 12th Rio Boat Show has plenty to offer: great boats, lovely scenery, incredible atmosphere and many more. If you plan your vacation during this period, make sure that you spend a few hours at the show; we assure that you won’t regret it.
