My gf and I were two of about 15 attendees on Saturday between 10:00 and 1:00. The brokers all seemed bored, the VIP lounge was literally empty, and the only "discriminating" yachts were the Burger and maybe the Azimut 62S. Unfortunately, the 3 times I stopped by the Burger to take a look, I was told by the staff that they had a 'full boat' and couldn't take on any more visitors, so come back later. This was strange considering that each time I stopped by, there were only 3 or 4 pairs of shoes on the dock waiting for their owners to deboard. I'm not sure why they felt it wasn't possible to have 6 people aboard a 107' boat, but I wasn't inclined to wait around for them. The temps were running at 99F with 93% humidity, which didn't help, but I have a feeling that based on the poor showing from brokers and utter lack of attendance, this will be the first AND last DC yacht show.
