I have been working with Global Marine Travel since 2019. My main job has been creating illustrated maps to promote their Oasis VIP Lounge at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show. The Oasis Lounge is designed for Superyacht Captains and Crew, offering everything from gourmet food to a fully stocked bar, live music, Wi Fi, and streaming of live sports.

Two Locations, Two Experiences

Today there are actually two Oasis locations at the show.

The first Oasis is at the Bahia Mar venue, near the Swimming Hall of Fame. This location serves all superyacht crew during lunch, with a variety of sandwiches and salads available for dining in or taking to go.

The second Oasis sits inside the Superyacht Village at Pier Sixty Six. This space has an indoor outdoor atmosphere, perfect for relaxing and connecting with friends. Dining tables let guests enjoy a catered lunch buffet before heading back to work refreshed and ready to welcome more visitors.

What I Provide

I supply Global Marine Travel with unique, one of a kind illustrated maps for each location. These maps highlight points of interest and are designed to work across multiple formats. They have been used as on site signage at the show, in printed mailers and flyers, and as online marketing materials. That means each map gets maximum use, serving both wayfinding and promotional purposes.

Before the show even starts, Global Marine Travel can use these maps to promote the lounge in a way that is genuinely informative. Potential guests get a real sense of where the lounge is and what to expect. It is a more useful approach than relying on stock photos of people having fun, which look good but do not actually tell anyone anything.

The Method Behind the Maps

You may already know that I create illustrated maps annually for all the biggest boat shows in North America, working with companies like Informa Markets and Revel Republic. For each show I build a three dimensional digital model of the venue and the surrounding area. Those models are the foundation of every map I make. I update them every year based on data from show management companies, including new dock layouts, exhibitor locations, transportation options, and available facilities.

Maps Made for One Client

The beauty of working from a 3D digital model is that I can render it from any angle and at any zoom level. That means I can create unique views tailored to a specific client's needs. If someone wants a map that focuses on their exhibit area with just enough surrounding context to orient visitors, I can do that. I can spin the model around until I find the angle that works best. That is exactly what I do for Global Marine Travel each year.

What I Can Do for You

If you have a booth, an exhibit area, or any other featured space at one of the boat shows I map, I can provide a unique, custom illustrated map for your marketing and wayfinding needs. This is your chance to show your clients something real and useful, not just glossy photos of models pretending to have a good time.

Contact me if you are interested. I have done this work before and I would be glad to do it for you.
