Exhibitor Testimonials
ART Marine
"The show served as the perfect Middle Eastern launching platform for our Azimut 53 Yacht which complements the prestigious Azimut family of luxurious vessels offered by our company in the region. It was also an ideal setting to reach out to potential Saudi clients. The Kingdom represents one of the fastest-growing markets in the region and so we intend to further develop our presence here and increase our share in boats, yachts, accessories and services segments."
Wael Bittar, Regional Marketing Director, ART Marine
Al Shaali Marine
"We have been in the Saudi market for the last 20 years, and through our participation this year we wanted to focus on small boats. We saw tremendous potential in the Saudi market since the marine culture is still in its infancy and is set to grow in a big way. In 2011, we expect to see new ports and marinas, increase in marine services and increased bank loans for this sector."
Sultan Al Shaali, Deputy Chairman/CEO, Al Shaali Marine
Al Khorayef Commercial
"At Saudi International Boat Show 2010 we exhibited a wide range of world class marine and diving brands, accessories and spare parts. We also exhibited new models of our board engine which is a 300 V6 Yamaha and also four new jetskis. The KSA marine market is huge and has seen a three-fold increase over the past ten years. We are expecting a 25 per cent sales growth in marine accessories given the increase of awareness in this market. Saudi International Boat Show 2010 in particular has contributed to boosting awareness and interest among visitors and we are willing to increase our exhibition space next year."
Abdallah Alkhorayef, General Manager, Al Khorayef
Mega Marine
"Saudi International Boat Show 2010 is very prestigious business networking event that complements our efforts to add brand value and create awareness about our activities in the Saudi market. We showcased a variety of boats and also took advantage of the events and the high profile attendance to organise an official launch of the company in the Saudi market."
