Thailand boat shows partner to deliver single event

The organisers of the Thailand International Boat Show and the Thailand Boat Festival have partnered to host a single boat show in Phuket.

The event name will remain Thailand International Boat Show, and the two firms say they aim to make the 2025 show the biggest yet. It takes place at Phuket Yacht Haven from 9-12 January 2025.

“We know the industry only wants one show, and this strategic alliance with M Vision will deliver just that,” says David Hayes, CEO of Jand Events, organiser of the Thailand International Boat Show. “Together, we aim to deliver the best possible boat and lifestyle show in 2025.

M Vision had been due to host the Thailand Boat Festival in Phuket from 13-17 November 2024.

“Aligning our efforts with the Thailand International Boat Show makes a lot of sense for the industry, and hosting it at Phuket Yacht Haven is the ideal location,” says Opas Cherdpunt, CEO of M Vision.

“This gives us more space in the water and opportunities to add more lifestyle displays and activities on land. And with direct access to Phang Nga Bay, boat exhibitors have the possibility to take potential buyers on sea trials during the show.”

Businesses and partners of the Thailand Boat Festival will join the line-up of boat and luxury brands from around the world that are already confirmed to be participating in the 2025 Thailand International Boat Show in January.

“M Vision’s experience organising large-scale Thai consumer events complements our boat show and luxury events experience,” adds Hayes. While we look to further grow international visitors, we will also build on our Thai visitor success this year and supercharge our efforts for 2025.”

The Thailand International Boat Show will also include the second annual Thailand Yachting Conference on 8 January 2025, as well as the yachting awards and gala dinner that evening.
