Organised by Club Marina Cove, presented on display some 50 boats from Italy, France, Finland, Spain, UK, USA and China. The four-day event attracted some 5,000 visitors.

With the increasing popularity of boating, the demand for boats of different designs and makes has grown steadily. Hong Kong’s unique waterscape of 261 islands is a distinct asset to its development as a major boating centre.

Club Marina Cove General Manager, Miss Winnie Ng, said the Club will continue to support the development of the boating industry which has a growing importance in the local economy. "We hope that the HK Government will further recognise the increasing importance of the leisure boating industry, and the demand for pleasure boat moorings and berths. An increase can only benefit the industry, which in turn contributes to more employment and business for shipyards, marine equipment, services and supplies and marine tourism," she said.

The Show is widely regarded as a popular and successful boating event which serves as an important platform for the promotion of boating and water sports as well as other related trades including financing, insurance and marine communications.
