Dubai - Al Shaali (AS) Marine, one of the largest manufacturers of luxury boats and yachts in the Middle East, is all set to display its latest line up of luxury yachts and water sport boats at the upcoming 15th Dubai International Boat Show that will be held from March 13-17, 2007, at the Dubai International Marine Club, Mina Seyahi.

At this year's boat show, AS Marine will be showcasing a total of 15 boats - 12 in the marina and three onshore. The highlight of the company's showcase this time will be the luxurious handcrafted yacht AS 85, with a classic Italian design. The 87-feet yacht that has bedrooms with plush interiors has a powerful engine which allows a maximum cruise speed of 22 miles per hour.         

Sultan Abdullah Al Shaali, Deputy Chairman and CEO, AS Marine, said, "We have been participating in the Dubai International Boat show since its inception 15 years ago and every year we have had something new and unique to offer to the growing number of regional and international buyers who visit the show. Being the region's largest marine industry exhibition, this show serves as an excellent platform for us to display our latest line of luxury yachts and fishing boats."

"The demand for luxury boats has witnessed a steep growth in the recent years owing to the number of waterfront residential projects that are coming up across the region. Simultaneously, there is also an escalating demand in the region for high speed luxury boats for sport fishing and leisure. AS Marine today boasts of a wide range of exquisitely crafted boats and yachts that cater to every requirement, and we are looking forward to the upcoming boat show to display some of our latest offerings and maximize our sales," he added.          

AS Marine's boats and yachts have built a reputation for quality craftsmanship, futuristic design and excellent performance, factors which the company believes are key in extending their market share, both in the Gulf region and across the world.

The company manufactures a wide range of boats; from small fishing boats to large, super luxury, handcrafted and custom-made boats and yachts. AS Marine's boats are known for the sophisticated navigation technology it is equipped with, including advanced GPS and radar technology.

The 15th edition of the Dubai International Boat Show is expected to attract a large number of exhibitors displaying a wide range of boats, yachts, and leisure marine services. The show is the premier platform for the biggest players from the local and international marine industry and is one of the largest marine exhibitions in the Middle East.
