The 26^th Hong Kong International Boat Show (December 4-7) is set to feature 25 on-land stands and close to 50 in-water vessels, potentially including seven flybridge motoryachts between 80-100ft. Club Marina Cove again hosts the event, which was first held in 1995 and today features a diverse range of yachts representing many of the world’s leading yachting brands.

“Over three decades, the Hong Kong International Boat Show has evolved from a local event into a highly popular global show for both the boating community and the trade in Asia-Pacific,” said Winnie Ng, General Manager of Club Marina Cove, which has helped arrange a Korean delegation for the free-entry event.

“With the increasing popularity of boating and marine tourism, we envisage significant growth in trade, especially with the implementation of the Greater Bay Area scheme and the government’s plan to develop the yacht economy.”
