The Thailand International Boat Show has named Phuket Yacht Haven Marina as its long-term host location. The partnership comes ahead of the fifth edition of the event, scheduled from 14-17 January 2027.

JAND Events, the organiser of the show, and Phuket Yacht Haven Marina have agreed on a collaboration focused on the continued growth of the exhibition, with plans to increase its scale and capacity for future editions.

Located on the northeast coast, Phuket Yacht Haven Marina provides more than 330 berths and accommodates vessels up to 100 metres. Its facilities include a 260-metre pontoon, three 50-metre fingers, dockhand service, a fuel dock, waste and recycled oil systems, a marina office, shuttle service and parking areas.

The marina is also planning to expand onshore facilities, which will include additional dining options, upgrades to lifestyle areas, improvements to The Deck and new visitor-focused features.

Juraibon Phataraprasit, managing director of Phuket Yacht Haven Marin, said: “This partnership is about raising the standard of what a marina and boat show experience can be in Thailand. Our continued development – particularly onshore – is focused on enhancing the overall experience for yacht owners, guests and visitors. Together with the Thailand International Boat Show, we are working towards creating a world-class platform that reflects Thailand’s potential on the global stage.”

The Thailand International Boat Show is organised with the support of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports Thailand, the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau. The 2027 edition is expected to welcome more than 6,000 visitors and over 100 exhibitors from the marine and lifestyle industries.

David Hayes, CEO of JAND Events, said: “This is a strategic investment in the future of the show and the industry. We’re seeing strong positive momentum in Thailand, including recent progress around the superyacht licence, which signals the country’s growing commitment to marine tourism. The opportunity now is to translate that into a broader, more inclusive industry platform – one that spans superyachts, leisure boating and onshore lifestyle – and Phuket Yacht Haven Marina provides the scale, flexibility and long-term foundation to support that growth as we build towards creating the biggest and best boat show in Asia Pacific.”
