The Thailand Charter Show is Southeast Asia’s premier Yacht Charter Show for yachts and superyachts. The show is a luxury yachting event that provides a platform for crewed charter yachts and brokers to showcase their boats in a stunning location, organisers said in a release.

“The Thailand Charter Show is an international charter event for Yachting & Tourism industry professionals and selected invited guests and encourages engagement between yachts, marine industry players, sponsors, and professional visitors in an intimate environment,” the release said.

“International and local Charter Brokers, Luxury Travel Agents, Luxury Tour Operators, and Hotel Industry Professionals will be introduced to Phuket’s renowned charter yachts, experience Phuket’s famed hospitality and will enjoy a program of destination, activities and sustainable yachting information, and enjoy local entertainment,” the release added.

For the first two days, charter yachts are on display at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina and the last day features a one-day, invitation only ‘familiarisation’ cruise aboard participating yachts to charter destinations around Phuket and nearby to help build and realise potential business and partnerships.

“The mission is to offer the most effective platform for brands to capture and interact with the most relevant target audience. An organising committee of TYBA members will run the event with the participation of leading international charter brokers and other local charter companies,” the release concluded.

Phiphat Ratchakitprakarn, Tourism Minister at the time, revealed at the Thailand Charter Show last year that the ‘yacht tourism’ season in Phuket from October 2022 through April 2023 was expected to boost the Thai economy by more than B1.1 billion.

Thailand Charter Week alone, organised by the TYBA, was expected to boost the local economy by B200 million, Mr Phiphat said.
