First boat show in Asia after two years to go ahead in April

Thailand Yacht Show has announced that its sixth edition will take place at Ocean Marina in Pattaya, from 7^th to 10^th April 2022. This will be the first boat show to take place in Asia for over two years.

Postponed from January 2021, the show will take place in two venues at different times of the season. The Gulf of Thailand event in Pattaya will focus mainly on production yachts, with as many superyachts as are available in the area. The Phuket event, which will take place in December at the beginning of the next high season, will cover the whole industry while also having a major focus on the fleet of foreign-owned superyachts that are expected to arrive from November, to spend the winter chartering in Thailand.

Sales of yachts and boats have skyrocketed in Asia during the pandemic, with people from Bangkok and other major cities flocking to the easily accessible waters and islands around Pattaya in record numbers. Thai dealers and distributors of the world’s best-known boating brands, as well as the steadily increasing number of local boat builders, suppliers, and service companies, want to capitalise on this new market on the Eastern Seaboard and the Thai Riviera.

The two dates scheduled for Thailand Yacht Show will attract thousands of newly-interested boat buyers from Bangkok, yacht charterers from all over the world, and hundreds of businesses that make up the leisure boating industry community in Thailand and the region.

Since 2016, the Thailand Yacht Show has provided a professional platform for the world’s major boating brands, brokers, dealers, suppliers and leisure marine service providers. Industry leaders can meet plenty of new buyers, whilst also expanding their business network in South East Asia.

Much anticipated attractions at Thailand Yacht Show will include the refurbished Ocean Marina Yacht Club, a diving exhibition, live sailing and boating experiences plus sea trials on high-quality charter yachts.

Alongside an exceptional line-up of yachts, there will be many luxury products on display, as well as an extensive programme of family-friendly activities spanning the entire weekend. Visitors and exhibitors alike can also look forward to live music, entertainment, a variety of watersports and helicopter rides.
