Held by NTSR Fair Organizations for the 29th edition in 2010, International Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show takes place from 20 to 25 October 2010 at Marinturk Istanbul City Port in Pendik.

Hosting many civilizations and selected as European Capital of Culture with its strategic location, cultural infrastructure, commercial power and natural beauties in 2010, Istanbul is a true maritime city.

Again this year, the Boat show is sponsored by Shop&Miles. Following the largest maritime exhibitions of Europe in the international exhibition agenda, Shop&Miles Boat Show is the sole Turkish member of IFBSO (International Federation of Boat Show Organisers) since 1995 and ranks among the first 45 international maritime shows.

Scheduled to take place after Europe’s largest marine fairs, the Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show will host exquisite 2011 model year boats. Leading international yacht brands and Turkish manufacturers will showcase their most eye-catching boats. These stylish boats, which boast luxurious living space, unprecedented performance, easy navigation and immaculate engineering, are set to dazzle visitors. Sea lovers who place an order during the fair will be able to enjoy their new top-model boat in summer 2011.

The Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show will bring together world-renowned stylish mega yachts, motorboats and sailing boats with outstanding performances. The fair will host national and international mega yacht, sailing boat and motorboat brands, boat building equipment, boat accessories, inflatable boats, inboard and outboard motor brands, sailing clubs, water sports outfits and equipment, schools, charters and brokers, marinas, marine-related clothing brands and manufacturers, and leading companies and organisations in the industry.

The Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show will rejuvenate Istanbul – a city on water. Sea lovers will come together at the Boat Show and share their passion for the sea.

NTSR Fair’s CEO Serkan Tiglioglu highlighted the importance of the fair saying that: 'Turkey is making fast strides in becoming the world’s luxury yacht building centre. Currently, Turkey ranks among the top five mega yacht builders in the world.

Many European mega yacht builders have deployed their shipyards in Turkey or have entered into joint ventures. Large-scaled projects are brought to life in the major shipyard areas Istanbul, Antalya and Bodrum that are set to becoming global brands. In addition to the growth in yacht building in Turkey, the number of new boats launched is also on the rise. For example, in 2010 a total of 25 luxury boats will be launched in Antalya. At the 29th International Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show Fair we will bring together the Turkish yacht industry with exhibitors and visitors from all across the world.'

The International Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show marks its difference by taking the fair afloat. Using the advantage of being at sea exhibitors will offer exclusive test-drives to their customers.

From now on everyone who loves the experience of being at sea as well as those interested in buying a boat are no longer destined to just walk around in the cabins or read brochures. Boat lovers will now be able to actually experience the real performance of the models they like and make better decisions.

Moreover, Boat Show visitors who own a boat can cruise into the marina and tie their boat up to the visitor’s pontoon free-of-charge.

In 2009, 31,587 people visited the Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show, where 273 boats ranging from 3 metres to 58 metres were showcased at sea. At the fair, 178 companies and 585 local and international brands came together with sea lovers.

Some highlights of this year’s Istanbul Shop&Miles Boat Show include:

•150,000 m² exhibition space
•250+ companies, 600 brands
•300+ boats
•40,000+ national and international visitors.
