In January 2026, the Thailand Boat Festival returned to the place where Thailand’s marine story first took shape. Boat Lagoon Marina, Phuket. After nearly 20 years, this iconic celebration is back where it belongs, with a bigger vision and a broader experience.
From 15 to 18 January 2026, the marina will once again come alive with the energy of
boats, people, culture, and coastal lifestyle.
Boat Lagoon Marina is not just a venue. It is where Thailand hosted its first international marine exhibition. That moment marked the beginning of Thailand’s presence on the global boating stage. It honours the past while opening the door to what comes next.
Thailand Boat Festival 2026 is not looking back with nostalgia. It is moving forward with purpose.
This festival goes beyond the traditional boat show.
On the water, visitors will explore yachts, sailboats, jet skis, and water toys. On land, the experience expands to mobility vehicles like motorbikes, alongside travel, property, and lifestyle showcases.
Layer that with Thai food, live music, local art, and cultural performances, and the festival becomes something more human. More immersive. More memorable.
It is designed for marine enthusiasts.
For families.
For travellers.
For anyone curious about life by the sea.
Located in the heart of Phuket, Boat Lagoon Marina is one of Thailand’s most respected full service marinas. Known for its world class facilities and vibrant waterfront atmosphere, it offers an ideal setting for both exhibitors and visitors.
