NOVEMBER 2017
The inaugural PHUKET RENDEZVOUS will be held from 4 – 7 January 2018 at the award-winning Royal Phuket Marina and is on course of being the biggest and most glamourous luxury lifestyle and marine exhibition ever held on Phuket.
Highlighting its ambition as becoming Asia's leading marine exhibition, the PHUKET RENDEZVOUS is already close to all of its in-water berths being sold with the region's leading brokers and global boat manufacturers already in attendance. The inaugural event will boast three Asian premieres, including the spacious FERRETTI YACHTS 850 from LEE MARINE, whilst BOAT LAGOON YACHTING will debut two of the latest models from British yacht manufacturer, PRINCESS YACHTS, with the P62 and S65.
The inaugural PHUKET RENDEZVOUS will start the New Year in style with a smorgasbord of side-event, workshops and activities planned. Royal Phuket Marina's Town Square will be transformed into a dynamic and exciting hub with exotic cars on display, daily fashion shows and a variety of gourmet cuisine pop-ups. On the Boardwalk, visitors and exhibitors can relax and take in the atmosphere in an English-themed Garden Party, decorated with sculptures and a wide variety of beers, wines and delectable nibbles on offer.

Leopard Catamarans is looking forward to the inaugural PHUKET RENDEZVOUS in 2018 and will be displaying our Leopard Powercat range; the Leopard 43 and 51. Both models have unique Leopard features that have made the brand a huge success worldwide, such as our forward main saloon door offering direct access from the main saloon to the bow area and, on the larger Leopard 51, a forward cockpit seating area. Another major benefit with the Leopard Powercats is their ability to achieve a 23 knots top speed whilst cruising in the 20 knots range.
