Nigro's job is to facilitate permits, logistics and set ups so they exhibitors can display the US$3 billion worth of boats, yachts, super yachts, electronics, engines and boating accessories from marine manufacturers and boat builders around the world.

Additional vendors to complement the boating lifestyle include those displaying exotic cars and selling clothing and jewellery. Marine seminars, fishing clinics, entertainment and food add to the program.
