Attending the show will be charter yacht agents and brokers from the USA and the Caribbean, as well as contingents from Greece, Spain, Italy, Monaco, France, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Brazil.

Yachts will be centrally located at the Port de Plaisance Marina to make viewing as efficient as possible.

The international media will be present in force again this year, and they represent some of the most prestigious and widely read marine publications in the world. The SCYE Media and Information Center has been expanded to provide safe storage for camera equipment during the show.

All attendees have received an arrival letter to print out and complete in order to facilitate the immigration procedure and free transportation service to participating hotels. Please don't forget this important document. SCYE representatives will be present at the brand new terminal building to answer questions and provide direction.

The ever popular Concours de Chefs creates much excitement during the show but because of logistics that excitement has been largely kept behind closed galley doors. This will change at SCYE 2006. Thanks to the positioning of a number of large screen TV's, people will now be able to zoom in on the culinary action from the previous day, which will reveal the secrets of the super yacht chefs to everyone. The wide screen TV's will also allow the chefs to see what their rivals are doing and it is hoped that this will further stimulate their creative gastronomic juices in pursuit of gold.

Additional prizes will be awarded this year for the Most Creative Main Course, the Best Dessert, the Best Service and Ambience, and the Most Creative Table Setting. Also new this year will be an Overall Winner who will receive the Grand Prize - A PacoJet!
