March 12 at 01:00 p.m. saw the official opening ceremony of the largest exhibition of boats as well as yachts, the Moscow Boat Show, taking place in the lobby of the third pavilion Crocus Expo IEC.
Official Opening Ceremony of Moscow Boat Show 2013
Moscow Boat Show is rightfully called the main event in the Russian world of boats and yachts. The largest in Russia event has for the sixth time already incorporated the most impressive representatives of the yachting world and fans of this spectacular sport!
Last year the exhibition was granted the status of “UFI Approved Event” and it was listed in the calendar of International Boat Industry (IBI), which includes all exhibition events of international level in the yachting industry.
Moscow Boat Show provides the perfect platform from which to preview new products, evaluate market trends, and establish long-lasting and commercially profitable partnerships. Despite the dynamic changes taking place in Russia and the rapid growth of the yachting sector, the show continues to complement and reflect the industry’s demand and is a promotional opportunity not to be missed!
The exposition space has increased up to 45 000 sq m in 2013. More than 350 companies from Great Britain, Germany, Holland, Greece, Spain, Italy, Cyprus, China, Latvia, New Zealand, United Arab Emirates, Poland, Slovenia, USA, Sierra Leone, Turkey, Ukraine, Finland, France, Croatia, Montenegro and, of course, Russia (17 regions) participated in the show. The scale of the project confirms confident positions of its positive development.
