Just when you thought the 14-year-old Phuket International Boat Show couldn’t get more extravagant, it’s being rebranded.

2018 will therefore see the inaugural Phuket Rendezvous, an expo dedicated to all things luxurious and marine. Hosting the event is Phuket Marina, with most of the superyachts on display around Rang Noi Island.

With advanced booking, you can meet the brokers and dealers and tour the 50+ yachts. It’s not all boating though, the event draws other high-flyer lifestyle outfits, like gourmet food, fashion, art and a supercar show. Wander the boardwalk food and beverage stalls to accompanying live-music during the Jan 4-7, 2018 event.

Entry is free, but you're recommended to pre-register to beat the crowds. See more information on www.thephuketrendezvous.com.
