Phuket Yacht Haven
Organizers of the 2025 Thailand International Boat Show have announced a preliminary lineup of yachts for the event scheduled for January 9-12 at Phuket Yacht Haven, featuring a Sanlorenzo SL90A and Fleming 85 among over 50 confirmed for the in-water display.
The four-day event will be preceded by the Thailand Yachting Conference and Gala Dinner on January 8 at Splash Beach Resort. Tickets for both events are still available, and further details can be found on the official website.
Following its move to Phuket Yacht Haven, the main four-day event will offer an expanded exhibition space exceeding 10,000 sqm both in-water and onshore, with over 60 exhibitors confirmed.
A 100ft Free Bird will host the Exhibitors and Captain’s Lounge, while the 95ft Lady Eileen II will serve as the venue for the VIP Lounge presented by the Cessna and Beechcraft brands owned by Textron Aviation.
David Hayes, CEO of show organizer JAND Events, stated, “The support from the industry has been exceptional. Major brokers and brands have confirmed both power and sail boats in the water. We’ve expanded the onshore exhibition zone to accommodate rising interest, with the air-conditioned area now 50% larger than last year and nearly full.”
Onboard viewings are a key aspect of the four-day event
Simpson Marine, which expanded its representation of Sanlorenzo and Bluegame to the Asia-Pacific earlier this year, is expected to showcase an SL90A asymmetric superyacht along with Bluegame’s BGX63 and Fairline’s Squadron 58 and Targa 45GT motoryachts.
DCH Marine – the Asia-Pacific distributor for Sunseeker, Saxdor, and Williams – will feature Sunseeker’s Manhattan 55 and Manhattan 68 flybridge motoryachts. Lee Marine will display Riviera’s 78 Motor Yacht and 4600 Sport Yacht, while Boat Lagoon Yachting will present a Princess F65 and a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095 Fly.
MGC Marine has confirmed Azimut’s Fly 60 and Fly 53, while Asia Yachting will showcase two models from Prestige: the X60 and the M48 multihull motoryacht. Asiamarine’s lineup includes a Galeon 500 Fly, Nimbus T9, and Capelli’s Stradivari 43.
The in-water lineup will feature power and sail, monohulls and multihulls
Primus Marine, co-founded and run by Howard Prime and a Bangkok-based partner, boasts the largest in-water lineup to date, featuring six yachts that include two Aquila powercats and four Beneteau boats.
Derani Yachts will present a Greenline 48 Fly and Axopar’s 29 and 37 Cross Cabin models, while Motor Field will exhibit a Saxdor 400 GTO and 320 GTO, along with a Yot 36 powercat. Flow Yacht Club will showcase a D50 Coupe by De Antonio Yachts.
Leopard’s 46 and 53 Powercat models will be part of a diverse selection of power catamarans, with The Yacht Sales Co displaying a Cora Cat 48 from Thailand and a Fountaine Pajot MY4.S coupe, as well as an Elba 45 sailing catamaran from the French shipyard. A Sunreef 60 will also be featured among the sailing cats at the show.

Hayes expressed his delight with the overall support ahead of the show’s third edition and its inaugural event at Phuket Yacht Haven, located just a 15-20 minute drive from Phuket International Airport.
“Phuket Yacht Haven is an excellent venue, not just for the event itself but also for its location in northern Phuket, which highlights the beauty of both Phuket and Phang Nga Bay,” he remarked.
“Being close to the airport and numerous five-star hotels makes it convenient for visitors traveling for the show. With improved access and a wider array of products on display, we anticipate a growth in visitor numbers, particularly from high-net-worth individuals across the Asia-Pacific region and Thailand.”
