How to exhibit

SeaFair is the world’s first megayacht venue showcasing unique works of art, jewelry, and collectables in ports along the US eastern seaboard. The 228’ yacht features 4 decks, 28 custom designed galleries, gourmet dining, a champagne and caviar lounge as well as an open-air sky deck.

As the first mobile marine venue, SeaFair offers exposure to smaller, affluent, less competitive markets and provides the ideal venue to host potential clients in each port. Exciting in design and more exclusive in nature than larger venues, Seafair offers a truly unique experience for collectors.

Seasonal scheduling is a key component of SeaFair. By scheduling fairs and events during the “peak seasons” along the East Coast, SeaFair is able to follow migrating collectors to their seasonal residences.

 

HOW IT WORKS

Exhibitors pay a fixed weekly rental depending on gallery size which includes all marketing and display expenses. SeaFair employs a variety of promotional marketing activities including public relations, direct mail invitations, banners, local newspapers, television, radio and special events. Shipboard gallery spaces are state-of-the-art facilities and include museum hanging systems, low voltage lighting, carpeting, display cases, furniture and signage. Exhibitors only need to bring their inventory and literature aboard.

Each port visit and rental period consists of a four to five-day event commencing with an exciting, fully catered opening evening gala. The ship is then open daily with late night events, often hosted by exhibitors on weekend evenings. Private dinners may be hosted by exhibitors for their clients in the ship's magnificent glass-walled restaurant, along with lectures and educational activities.

PERSONAL • PRIVATE • INNOVATIVE • NEW

Event-driven or “pop-up retailing” provides a new alternative for collectors. It creates a new face-to-face opportunity to make sales and expand ongoing clientele. Most importantly for exhibitors, Seafair opens new markets – each in an optimal season - with a limited financial investment and no ongoing expenses.

In addition to providing luxurious gallery space, SeaFair handles all promotional activities for each segment. Personal invitations are available for participants in print and/or electronic form. A database of more than 400,000 affluent collectors and connoisseurs along the Eastern Seaboard serves as a basis for collector invitations to the ship each week. Advertising is by direct mail, electronic media, web, television, radio and local print media.
