“This is the time for the industry to all work together to overcome this crisis, sitting and complaining won’t do anything,” he said. “We are well placed in the Gulf to address new markets in Asia and when the global upturn comes our economies in the Gulf and Asia are in many cases not so indebted and will move ahead quickly. The boom days of the industry are gone, to be replaced by a restructured industry where efficient companies offering real value for the customer will thrive, our mission at Gulf Craft is to be one of those companies.”

According to Dubai International Boat Show manager Lois Hall, this year’s show will be the largest in the event’s 17-year history with a total of 800 exhibitors and 300 boats. The superyacht section has also been expanded with the number of large yachts on the water up from eight in 2008 to 19 this year.
