See what our past participants say about our exhibition...
“We are presenting SeaRay as well as Thai built boats this year and after the first day we were already very happy with the interest. PIMEX is a great place for marine business and networking. The quality of visitors is very high and we already have lots of enquiries.”
Ruangrat Benjarit, Managing Director for SEAT Boat Co. Ltd
“We have made many good leads that we will follow up. We are happy with our position in the Show and hope to secure the same position next year. Most of the interest in our boats came from Russian, Malaysian, Indonesian and French buyers.”
Robert Hawkins, Princess Yacht’s dealership, Boat Lagoon Yachting
“The show has been good for us. We have had a lot of interest from new people. For sure we will come back next year and will hopefully have a Riva on display.”
Paola Procopio, Riva Brand Manager
“It’s our first time at PIMEX. We’ve had a lot of interest and have some keen potential customers.”
Matthew Steinert, Managing Director for Prout International
“This year we have opted for having boats in the water during the boat show and this was a really good decision.”
Sergio Loiacono, Yacht Sales Broker for Simpson Marine
"We have more than 20 genuine prospects for boat sales. Participating at PIMEX this year was a good experience for us and the show has the potential to grow into an important regional event."
Clarice Jamain, Charter Broker for Simpson Marine
"The networking potential and generation of leads at this year’s show, especially within the trade, gives it a definite advantage over the other shows."
Scott Galloway, Sales Manager for Chris-Craft
"At last a real show with serious buyers. With continued Informa Yacht Group input, this show will continue to grow as we come out of the financial slump."
Tony Nixey, Managing Director for Go Boating Thailand
"This is Lee Marine’s seventh year at PIMEX and we’re very delighted to be back again and see it growing each year. I think it’s a wonderful exposé for Phuket, bringing people to the island and really illustrating the boating lifestyle. With such a large number of boats on the water and the inside hall also very well attended, there’s a lot more traffic and we’ve managed to close some sales."
Joshua Lee, Managing Director for Lee Marine
"Good leads. I think that we we’ll sell 1-2 yachts to customers we met for the first time here at PIMEX."
Jurg Hofer, Managing Director for Elite Yachting
"We enjoyed the show. Very good attendance regarding the quality of visitors."
Vincent Tabuteau, Owner of Asia Marine
"I have participated in several PIMEX exhibitions and this year I am very happy. I made very good contacts which are certain to sign soon."
Hervé le Touzé, Managing Director for Catathai
"This is a great show. I am very impressed. A beautiful setting, and a great atmosphere with all the restaurants and nightlife, have helped bring in some first-class new enquiries. It is particularly valuable to be able to take our serious prospects – and we have had several in the last few days - out for a trial run in the middle of the show. This event has the potential to become the most important boat show in the region. It would help to invite potential buyers from all over Asia to Thailand for next year’s PIMEX, as our brands have been very successful here, thanks to the organization of our dealers - particularly Lee Marine. We will definitely be back to support their work next year."
Alessandro Diomedi, New Market Development Manager for the Ferretti Group
