Thursday, 21th May, next week will see the opening of the Bulgaria Boat Show 2009.

The event will be held in Varna, the Black Sea capital and will have on display the latest James Bond film yacht, the Sunseeker Superhawk 43.

More than 50 new yachts will be there in an exhibition area of 4,000 sq.m, some boats on water, others on land.

The editorial staff of Asia-Pacific Boating magazine are now accepting nominations for the Asia Boating Awards, to be held on April 17, 2009, in conjunction with the China International Boat Show in Shanghai.

Readers of LUXUO are invited to submit their favourite boats, builders, places and personalities in 21 categories on a dedicated website with an easy-to-use, online form.

The awards recognize the best in Asian boating. Among the honours are awards for best motor yachts in four size ranges, awards for best sailing yachts, and new to this year, best racing yacht.

Riva, the Italian world’s leading company of luxury motoryachts will bring its splendid and glamorous yachts to the Miami Boat Show (February 12th to February 16th 2009).

Riva will be showing six models at this year’s show and will be introducing the new 68’ Ego Super to the USA, on display at Ferretti Group booth.

Presenting herself as the ultimate blend of design, comfort, performance and reliability, 68’ Ego Super is the luxurious evolution of the Riva world.

The European Boat Show season is coming soon and if you want to experience the best the world of yachting has to offer, you must consider trying Lazzara Yachts new model, LSX Ninety Two.

Nearly two years after the introduction of its highly successful LSX Seventy Five, Lazzara Yachts is announcing its plans for the completely redesigned follow-up, the LSX Ninety Two, scheduled to launch Fall 2008.

The award-winning Lazzara product-development team didn’t just want to build a bigger LSX 75, they wanted to reinvent it.
