Panama International Boat Show 2014

The inaugural Panama International Boat Show welcomes global movers and shakers in yachting for the first time on Friday June 20th 2014.

Aimed at entry level buyers and produced by Show Management - which is responsible for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and the Yacht and Brokerage Show in Miami - the event looks set to increase Central America’s presence in yachting.

Despite being known as an area with a strong boating and fishing culture, very few boat dealers exist there, something which is set to change given that Central and South America are two of the fastest growing global economies with burgeoning marine industries.

Supported by the Ministry of Tourism and the Maritime Administration, organisers will cater mainly for buyers of 30 - 60ft vessels from Panama, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Colombia and Venezuela.  

The location at Flamenco Marina near downtown Panama City is already a flourishing tourist attraction boasting an impressive range of marine amenities including 238 slips protected by two breakwaters, 24-hour security, WiFi, a dry-stack facility, nine restaurants, a customs office and bilingual staff.
