Strong interest in PIMEX 2008
Despite the worries in the banking system interest in PIMEX remains strong. On target to be the biggest show to date bookings are still being taken for December. 
'Pimex 2008'
PIMEX 2008 is a marine and lifestyle exhibition held at the Royal Phuket Marina Exhibition and Conference centre with 2,500 sq metres of air conditioned display space adjacent to the marina basin with 40 yachts in the water.
In its sixth year, the show is the largest on-water boat show in the region and is the regions most effective showcase for boating and marine leisure.
Informa Yacht Group, organisers of the Monaco Yacht Show have recently acquired PIMEX and the world wide marketing of the show has risen to another level. 90 exhibiting companies and close to 50 yachts are expected in 2008
Luxury motor yachts afloat in 2008 will include Sunseeker; Gulf Craft, Chris Craft, Princess, Riviera, Pershing, Ferretti, Maritimo, Crowneline, Cranchi, Sunnav, Horizon, and Mustang, Three of the yachts are over 70 feet long. For sailing enthusiasts Jeanneau, Bavaria Yachts, and Hanse will be represented as well as a number of catamarans.
A new development in 2008 is the emergence of new brands from mainland China some of which are exhibiting this year. And of course the electronics, engines and other accessories and equipment that go with the marine lifestyle will be on show.
Several property and residential marina projects are also exhibiting.
A full list of exhibitors booked to date can be found in the exhibitors section.
Some space is still left in the air-conditioned hall and the last two berths in the water are available.
The marina site is in a beautiful setting with 5 restaurants on the boardwalk overlooking the marina.
Whether interested in boating or simply curious about how Phuket has become one of the most sought after luxury destinations in the world, visiting Royal Phuket Marina and PIMEX is a must during the first week of December.
