A Refined Return to Phuket Yacht Haven
The Thailand International Boat Show 2026 marked a significant milestone for Primus Marine, as we proudly returned for our second consecutive year at the show. Held from 15–18 January 2026 at Phuket Yacht Haven Marina, this year’s edition unfolded in an atmosphere defined by warmth, elegance, and a shared appreciation for life on the water. Set against the natural beauty of the marina, the Primus Marine showcase became a welcoming space where guests, partners, and enthusiasts came together to experience yachting in its most refined form.
A Curated Showcase of Six Distinctive Yachts
At TIBS 2026, Primus Marine presented a carefully curated lineup of six yachts, each selected to reflect diversity in design, purpose, and lifestyle—while remaining unified by quality and innovation.
On display:
- Aquila 32 Sport
- Aquila 42 Coupe – Asia Premiere
- Aquila 44 Yacht
- Beneteau Antares 11
- Beneteau Oceanis 40.1
- Excess 11
Each model brought its own character to the show, attracting strong interest and conversation throughout the four days. From power to sail, performance to comfort, the presentation was widely recognised as one of the highlights of the event.
An Experience Defined by Expertise and Connection
Beyond the yachts themselves, what truly defined Primus Marine’s presence at TIBS 2026 was the quality of interaction. Our team of dedicated specialists was on hand throughout the show, offering personalised guidance and in-depth insight into each model.
From first introductions to detailed discussions around ownership, private viewings, and future sea trials, every conversation was approached with care, professionalism, and genuine enthusiasm—ensuring a seamless and meaningful experience for every guest.
Evenings at the Marina | Wine & Conversation
To complement the daytime showcase, Primus Marine hosted evening wine receptions on 16 and 17 January (17:00–20:00). These gatherings invited guests to unwind, connect, and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere of Phuket Yacht Haven Marina as the sun set.
The wine evenings became memorable moments of the show—relaxed, intimate, and reflective of the lifestyle that defines yachting beyond the boat itself.
With the Support of World-Class Partners
Primus Marine extends its sincere appreciation to our esteemed brand partners Beneteau, Excess, and Aquila—globally recognised names whose presence and support elevated the experience of TIBS 2026. Representatives from each brand joined us on-site, sharing expertise and contributing to the success of the event.
The trust placed in us by our partners and clients alike continues to be a driving force behind everything we do.
Gratitude to Our Team and Hosts
This event would not have been possible without the dedication of the Primus Marine team. From early planning through to the final day of the show, colleagues from both Pattaya and Phuket worked tirelessly to deliver an experience that reflected our standards and values.
We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Phuket Yacht Haven Marina for providing a truly exceptional venue—one that enhanced the sense of pre-ownership and left a lasting impression on our guests. Our appreciation also goes to the organisers of the Thailand International Boat Show 2026 for delivering a well-managed and seamless event while maintaining the show’s established concept.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on a successful TIBS 2026, we look forward to welcoming our guests again soon—whether at the upcoming Aquila 42 Coupe Asia Premiere, or with the arrival of Excess 13 and Excess 14 in Thailand in the near future.
We invite you to continue the journey with Primus Marine, as we share more experiences, launches, and moments on the water.
