The first Grow Boating Singapore has followed the success of both Phuket and Pattaya Grow Boating events in Thailand, with over 50 attendees across 20 sectors of the boating industry including brokers, agents, suppliers, marinas, captains, and shipyards all with a desire for a stronger network of professionals in the industry. 

A massive thank you to Boaters Bar for providing the venue, ONE15 Marina, and Yacht Style for sponsoring the food and drinks. 

The Singapore boating community has developed exponentially over the past 2 years, in many ways COVID restrictions were a major driver for people to get back into boating or to start boating for the first time. Although there are more boats in the marinas, more people on the water, and more companies making better money than before, the industry itself is still hampered by a lack of leadership, clear communication, and investment in parts and services. Grow Boating Singapore will act as a platform to bring attention to the desperately needed aspects of the boating industry and to develop new talent, set industry standards and ensure that there is a business ecosystem for the boating community.
