Marina Yacht Club are Thai-owned. “Yachting tourism on Thailand’s East Coast is
relatively undeveloped. Countries such as Greece, which is famous for its established charter industry, and Australia, which has a large population of domestic boat-owners, outperform Thailand currently yet neither have the tourism numbers of Thailand. The country expects to welcome approximately 40 million international visitors this year and Pattaya in the region of 14 million – these numbers underscore the huge potential for yachting tourism in Thailand and this is something Ocean Marina Yacht Club are focussed on developing,” added Scott Finsten.
At this year’s Ocean Marina Pattaya Boat Show, up to 40 boats will be displayed by leading international boat brands and brokers. These will be complemented by a wide range of marine products and accessories, boat toys and gadgets, stylish properties, super cars and other luxury items. Live on-water demonstrations will take place over the four days, as well as free yacht trips, sunset cruises, sun-downers, fashion shows, pop-up restaurants and different activities for all the family to enjoy.
