Following a successful event in late 2015, Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show returns to Pattaya’s Ocean Marina Yacht Club for the fifth time in 2016 with visitor numbers expected to reach more than 6,000.

Organised by Ocean Property, Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show has more than quadrupled in size in the four years since inception in 2012 and in 2015 the event attracted around 100 exhibitors. And with good reason; Thailand has become one of Asia’s hottest cruising grounds with boat builders, dealers and brokers from around the world eager to get a piece of a rapidly expanding industry.

In late 2015 the Thai government announced plans to allow foreign-flagged superyachts to charter in Thai waters and with support from the government, the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau and the Tourism Authority of Thailand, Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show is a platform to support Thailand’s growing yachting industry. The event attracted close to 6,000 visitors in 2015 who engaged with high profile global brands with displays ranging from gadgets and technical boat equipment to luxury and lifestyle consumer products, hospitality and real estate.

During the four day event, visitors will also be able to attend various social and sporting activities including cocktail and networking parties, seminars, free cruises and water sport events. The 2015 Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show also saw the official launch of Ocean Emerald, one of just four identical luxury superyachts designed by Sir Norman Foster, who is best known for his designs of Wembley Stadium and Millennium Bridge in London. Other high profile yachting brands attending the event in 2015 included Azimut, Cranchi, Princess Yachts and Simpson Marine.
