Record visitors and first-day sales at PIMEX

 
Phuket’s international boatshow (PIMEX), now in its fourth year, recorded 2,500 visitors – a record for the show – during its first two days. The show runs until Sunday, December 10.

 
 

“We believe that the PIMEX Bangkok Preview in October, our strong media campaign aimed at Phuket expatriates and the increasing international recognition for the show have combined to push up the number of visitors,” said PIMEX organiser Andy Dowden.

The first day of the show saw two boats sold – a Gulfcraft and a Riviera M360 Sport Cruiser – and a reservation on a luxury villa by Serenity Terraces.

Most exhibitors reported brisk business, especially on the show’s opening day, with an unusually high proportion of prospective buyers in attendance.

Lee Marine signs Singapore deal at PIMEX

 
  Taking advantage of the upbeat mood at PIMEX 2006, Lee Marine’s Joshua Lee and Riviera’s Ben Dogget yesterday finalized an exclusive dealership agreement for Singapore.

The announcement came the day after Lee Marine sold a new Riviera M360 Sport Cruiser to a Thailand-based expatriate on the first day of PIMEX. This will be the first Riviera to be based in the Gulf of Thailand and is the first ever M360 sold into the kingdom.

Lee Marine, one of the region’s biggest yacht brokerage and dealerships, was founded in 1997. “Singapore is a strategic move for our company,” said Lee, “We are thrilled to announce this appointment leading into our 10th year anniversary in 2007,” he added.

“Our relationship with Lee Marine, Riviera’s most awarded dealer in the region, dates back to 1998,” said Dogget, Riviera’s GM for retail sales in Australasia, adding that Riviera has a strong committment to the Asian market.
