We have a few months to go before the inaugural PHUKET RENDEZVOUS in 2018 and we can’t deny that the excitement is building up. For those still contemplating if they should book their flight to the South-east Asian holiday destination, we have 10 reasons why you should join us at the Royal Phuket Marina from January 4 to 7.

Leveraging on 14 years experience with PIMEX, the Royal Phuket Marina offers an optimal on-water display with a possible superyachts berthing extension nearby. There will be a minimum of 40 yachts on display at the January event with Thailand’s leading yacht dealers in attendance and already a minimum of three Asian yacht premieres. The well-respected and experienced Andy Dowden will be managing the yacht display and space allocation.

Organised between January 4-7, the PHUKET RENDEZVOUS 2018 will capture local residents and visitors – including villa and yacht owners – before they head back home. The yacht buyers will be on the island on these specific dates. This is the time when the largest number of business jet moves are registered at Phuket airport.
