The sixth edition of India’s largest and unique international boat show will bring a perfect opportunity to take part in a well established and trusted platform to cater to arguably the last large untapped leisure boating market in the world. With the Middle East reaching a saturation point, the focus of sales is bound to move to India, which has the potential to be the largest market in the region for yachts.

The event in 2007, its inaugural year, established itself as the benchmark for boat shows in India and served to provide an important stimulus to the Indian leisure boating and water sports industry. The 2008 event outshone the previous year, and 2009 was spectacular despite the economic environment.

The 2010 Show had more than 40% new exhibitors and attracted the right kind of audience in its four days, with exhibitors expressing immense satisfaction with their participation. Mumbai International Boat Show will be scaled up to even greater heights, offering a better, more-rounded experience to both exhibitors and visitors.
