THAILAND YACHT SHOW 2016 11 14 February 2016 / Ao Po Grand Marina, Phuket The inaugural Thailand Yacht Show 2016 will take place at Phuket s Ao Po Grand Marina and is set to become the focal point of the luxury superyacht charter business in Asia Pacific, as well as Thailand s main boating showcase. The four-day event for local and international charter yachts is a true marine festival extending for seven days with the following programme: 8-10 February 2016: Marine Festival including sailing regatta, watersports demonstrations, industry seminars, familiarisation excursions, at various locations 11-14 February 2016: Thailand Yacht Show 2016, at Ao Po Grand Marina The Thailand Yacht Show 2016 will meet the demand created by recent changes to regulations allowing foreignflagged superyacht charter in Thai waters. The change offers a serious financial incentive for many overseas owners considering bringing their yachts to South East Asia at the end of the summer season in the Mediterranean, instead of plying the usual route West to the Caribbean. On average, a visiting superyacht will spend at least $2 million in the country in which it is based for the season providing a major impact on the local economy, stimulating job creation, local infrastructure development and the attraction of inward investment. The Thailand Yacht Show 2016 will position Thailand as the premiere leisure marine destination in Asia Pacific, and will provide Thailand and the whole region with an essential tool in its quest to become the third global yachting destination, with Phuket at its epicentre. The Thailand Yacht Show 2016 is organised by Singapore Yacht Events Pte. Ltd., which runs the annual Singapore Yacht Show, and its Thailand subsidiary, 3L Events (Thailand) Co. Ltd. The Show is supported by the Thai government and is a partnership with the Marine Department of Thailand and the Ministry of Transport, combining the best aspects of yacht charter, boating industry and luxury lifestyle events.

Location - Phuket This year already, over 75 superyachts cruised through Phuket alone. The Thailand Yacht Show 2016 will encourage these yachts to stay for longer and use it as a base from which to charter. Phuket is strategically located for yachts coming from the Mediterranean to visit South East Asia and the Pacific beyond. It is considered the main infrastructural hub for large yachts cruising the region, with over 100 superyacht berths available between the Ao Po Grand Marina and Phuket Yacht Haven alone, as well as ample first class service companies. Phuket is unquestionably the destination hub for large yachts in Asia. Nowhere else is there such a large capacity to berth them. In recent years, Phuket has played host to world leading yachts M.Y.A, M.Y.Octopus, M.Y.VaVa II, M.Y. Cloud 9, S.Y.Vertigo, S.Y. Twizzle, M.Y. Exuma and many more. Phuket and South East Asia are the perfect locations to engage for the first time in this lifestyle. Phuket is a mecca for a whole host of people who have the financial means to charter a yacht but have had little exposure to the lifestyle so far. As charter is a recognised means to yacht ownership, the Thailand Yacht Show 2016 will have the winning formula with sought after cruising grounds, a strong supply of affluent visitors and a growing fleet of charter yachts and boats. www.phuket.com.
