Expansion predicted for Beirut Boat 2012

Superyachts up to 85m welcome.

The organisers of the 8th International Boat and Superyacht Show, Beirut Boat 2012, are expecting an increase in exhibitors and visitors thanks to the restored political stability and the consistent economic growth over the last two years in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Key areas for 2012 are yachts, boats, boat equipment and accessories, from top international brands, such as Bavaria, Feretti, San Lorenzo and Sunseeker.

As one of the most successful maritime shows in the region, Beirut Boat 2011 registered over 28,000 visitors from the Lebanon, the Eastern Mediterranean region and the Gulf States. Over 130 exhibitors from 16 countries presented their products and services in the Marina Joseph Khoury to the north of Beirut.

Beirut Boat runs from May 16-20, 2012 at La Marina Joseph Khoury, Dbayeh in Lebanon. The 110,000m2 facility offers mooring for more than 700 boats and superyachts up to 85m (279ft).
