The 2nd Kuwait International Boat Show will be held this year over a period of 5 days, from 29th April to 3rd May, with over 100 exhibitors on display at one of the region’s fastest growing and highly popular marine events supporting the largest marine market in the region.
Held at Fahaheel Waterfront-Al Kout, the event is organized by Dubai based marine experts Knotika Holding that has a long established history in marine industry in this region; and will be hosted by Tamdeen Shopping Center Development Company. It will offer the perfect day out for marine enthusiasts and families alike at one of Kuwait’s fastest growing destinations for family entertainment and leisure.
The show will host boat manufacturers and dealers promoting over 120 different boats from 30 different countries, plus international marine equipment providers – offering something of interest for the boating enthusiast or the casual visitor enjoying the view.
Last year’s event attracted over 10,000 visitors and generated $35 million in sales and this year, organizers are anticipating an even bigger response to the Boat Show that will bring in boat manufacturers and marine equipment manufacturers and suppliers from across the region and the world.
Kuwait’s long history and love affair with the sea makes it the perfect location for an international boat show. Al-Kout’s 5 star marinas and water fountains provide a picturesque backdrop and bring such a large event to life. The Fahaheel Waterfront-Al Kout is part of the larger Madinat Al Fahaheel project, owned by Tamdeen Real Estate Company, which offers unique facilities with the benefits of living, shopping, business and entertainment all within a world class setting.
The show is expected to be one of the most popular events held in Kuwait this year, giving visitors the chance to explore the latest and most modern maritime craft, check on new developments in the industry and enjoy the spectacular waterfront development and facilities of Al Kout.
