The three-day ‘Hong Kong International Boat Show 2017’, organized by Club Marina Cove, run until December 3. Now in its 23rd year, the Show is the most established platform in Southeast Asia for the international boating industry. Visitors are admitted free to explore a prize collection of designer exhibits from France, Italy, USA, Britain, Greece, Germany, Poland and Taiwan. A wide array of watersports equipment and accessories will also be displayed at the hardstand booths.
This year’s Show will feature a spectacular display of yachts and boats, in which many of them will be presented for their first time in Hong Kong. A massive showing of award-winning boat models will also join the Show’s array of ships this year. One of the star exhibits is the 105ft Monte Carlo Yachts 105 from Italy, which is designed by Carlo Nuvolari and Dan Lenard and priced over HK$100 million.
Ms. Winnie Ng, General Manager of Club Marina Cove, said “With the rapid expansion of the yacht industry in the Asia-Pacific region, boating and watersports enthusiasts are on the rise. As the Hong Kong market is relatively mature, industry practitioners are looking to expand into China, with the aim of promoting the long-term development of the industry in Asia. We also believe the Show will help promote an understanding of the global yacht industry, thereby encouraging youths to pursue their careers in the fast-growing pleasure craft sector.”
