Located at the brand-new Kaohsiung Exhibition Center, the Taiwan Int’l Boat Show received an estimated 70,000 visitors during the event, according to the organizer. Horizon Yachts, the number one Asia-Pacific yacht manufacturer on display, hosted thousands of VIP guests and show visitors each day during the boat show; lines often wrapped around the Horizon display, with wait times in excess of 3 hours to get on board the luxury yachts. Horizon’s exhibition was also the largest at the show, with a total of 14 luxury yachts on display between the Boat Show, which showcased the RP110 superyacht “Carnival Liberty 3”, E88 motoryacht (example is motor yacht Mechtilda), and E56 motoryacht, and the new Horizon City Marina, which featured the EP148 expedition superyacht “Horizon Polaris”; RP120 superyacht “Muses”; E88 motoryacht; V80 motoryacht; V72 motoryacht; PC60 powercat; PC52 powercat; CC80 powercat; and T52 sportfish, along with two Nimbus yachts introduced from Scandinavia as entry models for the Taiwan market.
