Inspired by this year’s edition of the, Hainan Rendez-Vous, held in Sanya, China Francis Lapp, President of Sunreef Yachts, decided to create a similar event in Gdansk on a local scale gathering the best of the luxury available on the Polish market.
The result was named the Pomorskie Rendez-Vous and it was held at the Hilton Hotel Gdańsk located in the charming old town of Gdansk just a ten minute drive from the Sunreef shipyard.
Held under the patronage of the President of Gdańsk, Mr. Paweł Adamowicz, and the Marshal of Pomerania, Mr. Mieczyslaw Struk, the event began with the official christening of the new Sunreef 70 Roleeno, and she became the centre of attention throughout the evening.
The event brought together some of the most powerful local and foreign business, people, along with well-known Polish personalities and media although we were not invited!
This first edition is said to be just the beginning of a series of Pomorskie Rendez-Vous that will be held in Gdańsk every year. It is expected to grow as intensely as the luxury market in Poland is clearly doing.
The program also included the presentation of:
- Sunreef Yachts with its luxury catamarans
- Galeon with its range of sport and cruising power boats
- Delphia Yachts with its range or sailing boats.
In addition, the event displayed luxury car brands like Ferrari and Mercedes Benz and hosted a fashion show with the latest Autumn/Winter 2013-14 collection from the most fashionable Polish fashion house La Mania.
Additional attractions were provided by the other event sponsors and partners presenting their best products such as:
- Luxury bags
- Champagne
- Cigars
- Helicopters
Hilton Hotel Gdansk provided its best of molecular fine dining accompanied by live music from the trendiest artists. The evening concluded with a spectacular fireworks display on the Vistula River.
