The 2nd Saudi International Boat Show opened yesterday at the Al Furusya Marina & Yacht Club in Jeddah. Running from December 8-10, the three-day show features the products and services of around 135 companies and brands from 19 countries.

Fourteen new Saudi organisations and brands are also on display alongside 74 first-time representatives from leading Asia, North American, European and Australasian companies such as Japan Marine, Trinity Yachts, Romeo Marine and Westport.

“The second edition of the event marks the largest-ever gathering of marine equipment manufacturers and suppliers in the Kingdom,” says His Highness Prince Abdullah bin Saud bin Mohammed bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, chairman of Al Ahlam Marine Tourism Group.

“As Saudi Arabia emerges as one of the world’s elite leisure marine markets, events such as this play a key role in supporting the developments and growth taking place within the country.”

The opening of this year's show was officially inaugurated by His Royal Highness Prince Mishal Bin Majed Bin Abdulaziz, the Governor of Jeddah. It is organised by Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), managed by Al Ahlam Marine Tourism Group and endorsed by the Saudi Commission for Tourism and Antiquities.
