David and Lee Ann Lester were thrilled to extend invitations to Gallery Owners and interested Press Contacts for SeaFair’s aerial tours on the ExpoAir plane. The tours were offered the first week of October during the International Art and Antiques Fair. Participants were given the unique opportunity to fly over the ports, estates and harbors in Fairfield County, Greenwich CT, Westchester County and the Hamptons. While viewing the locations that the Grand Luxe will visit for the inaugural segments next summer, guests sipped on champagne and snacked on chocolate.

Having heard about the successful tour by the Fishko’s and taking notice of their positive dealer feedback, James Mitchell, of John Mitchell Fine Paintings, London, decided to stop by Whidbey Island himself and see the yacht. His timing allowed him to see the newly erected pilot house and constructed interior of the ship. As he stood in his assigned booth for the Greenwich tour, James allowed accompanying Expoships staff to snap his picture as a before and after cameo shot. Once again on terra firma, James stepped back to look at the magnitude of the ship and stated: “Well done Expoships! After visiting the ship, I realize the scale of the project cannot be conveyed through pictures alone. SeaFair offers an extraordinary new opportunity for art dealers and we look forward to being on board!” To view the most recent photos of the Grand Luxe, click here.

David and Lee Ann Lester received a warm welcome last week from participating dealers at the Paris Biennale and from other prestigious dealers throughout the city. Old clients and new expressed their excitement and anticipation of the Grand Luxe’s launching date next February and the ship commencing operations next June beginning in Greenwich. The innovative SeaFair marketing program already under way which identifies, profiles and confirms collector attendance in advance astounded dealers reviewing the concept. Many expressed the view that this entirely new marketing approach could completely revolutionize future business for the dealer community.
