The event will be held at Pontoon S, and Prestige Pioneer Spirit will be on display. The two models that will be showcased are the innovative M48 and the flagship M8, which will showcase the pioneer spirit of Prestige.

The M-Line range promises a brand-new vision and product offering in the world of multi-hull motor yachts. Visitors will be able to discover the new art of vivre with the M-Line.

The M48, the first model in the M-Line range, invites visitors to experience moments of harmony with nature in refined comfort. This model was a major step for Prestige in offering an all-new experience in the art of living well. 

On the other hand, the M8, Prestige's flagship, offers an unprecedented experience of living in perfect harmony with the sea. It redefines the standards of well-being on board, allowing everyone to share precious moments at sea.

This event promises to be an opportunity for boat enthusiasts to discover the latest products and innovations in the world of multihull motor yachts.

MGM Boat's Ross O'Leary will also be at the French show and on the Lagoon catamaran stand.

As Afloat reported previously, the Lagoon brand is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year. For this special occasion, the brand invited customers to a 'Lagoon Exclusive Days' promotion.

About MGM Boats

MGM Boats is one of Ireland's leading boat brokers now operating internationally as well as throughout Ireland. MGM Boats was founded in 1997 by brothers Martin and Gerry Salmon who were previously worked as a carpenter, joiner and glass fibre laminator in the 1980s. Martin progressed to boat retailing in the late 1980s and Gerry was a service manager in the 1990s. From these many years of experience, MGM Boats was founded in 1997. It started out as a service, maintenance and repairs company based in Malahide, Co. Dublin.

The company grew in 1998 when the Aquador dealership was acquired. Starting as they meant to go on, in 2001 MGM became distributors for Jeanneau Motorboats and Yachts and also opened its second office in Belfast. MGM had begun to create what would be an international and acclaimed brokerage company.

In 2003, MGM Boats moved to Dun Laoghaire Harbour, Co. Dublin. The large office space and yard expanded the service department and paved the way for MGM to acquire the dealership for Sunseeker in Ireland in 2003.

From then, MGM built up its brokerage listings and in 2009 it opened its office in Hamble, UK. This has led to many years of MGM being present at all major UK boat shows, and each year growing their presence and listings.

The success of MGM's brokerage listings spread internationally, leading in 2012 to 2 new offices being opened in the Mediterranean - in Villamoura, Portugal and Mallorca, Spain. The now international brand and team throughout these years received many awards for their enterprising spirit, customer service and international presence, including winning Sunseeker Distributor of the Year in 2007, 2009 and 2011.

This also led to a new Irish office being opened in Kinsale, Co. Cork increasing their presence within Ireland as well as abroad.
