The Jersey Boat Show, which was held over the bank holiday weekend looks to become a regular fixture following the success of its first show, with over 50 boats being shown on the St Helier Marina.

New owners of the Island Based Fox’s marine service who were exhibiting the Kruger and Pirate day cruisers reported sales on the day, as did Fairline and Princess.

Approximately 12,000 islanders and tourists attended the show; exceeding the organiser’s expectations and bringing much business in to Jersey.
