New Vision Yachts, a leading Middle East distributor of high quality boats and yachts, has announced that it is launching three world-renowned brands of yachts in the region during the upcoming Dubai International Boat Show 2008 which will kick off today and will continue till March 15 at the Dubai International Marine Club, Mina Seyahi.
At the show, New Vision Yachts will launch products of California-based Navigator Yachts Inc; Florida-based Hargrave Inc; and Washington-based Nordlund Boat Company. The move is in line with New Vision Yachts’ strategy of introducing leading international boat and yacht brands in the Middle East, at a time when the regional demand for luxury yachts is at an all time high.
New Vision Yachts – among the very few companies to combine European style with American quality – will also offer 100 per cent customized boats and yachts. The company also offers a diversified array of other services such as a membership product that includes non-maintenance related services like catering, entertainment, and provision of crew.
 “The Dubai International Boat Show presents the perfect platform for us to introduce new brands into the region since the exhibition attracts thousands of visitors and prospective buyers, in addition to hundreds of exhibitors from across the region. The unprecedented growth of the Middle East region in recent years, coupled with the large scale development of waterfront projects and the increased spending on recreation and leisure activities, have triggered a significant increase in demand for luxury yachts and boats in the region,” said Wagih Shaya, CEO, New Vision Yachts.
“New Vision Yachts is pleased to cater to this demand by launching three premier yacht brands in the region, which are known for the quality of their craftsmanship, performance and styling. We expect these brands to create a major buzz in the regional markets over the coming months,” he added.
Nordlund Boat Company is 50-year old manufacturer of high quality yachts located in Tacoma, Washington. At the Nordlund Boat Company, top priority is given to incorporating the individual tastes and preferences of each owner, to offer a customized yacht that is beyond expectations.
Navigator Yachts Inc is a 40 year old manufacturer located in Perris, California. Over the years, it has built a reputation for manufacturing some of the finest hand-crafted yachts, which are also known for its performance, elegance and luxury. 
Florida-based Hargrave Inc has a 90-year history in yacht manufacturing. Every Hargrave yacht is designed entirely based on the owner’s requirement, and before production begins every detail is customized, from the size and layout, to the power equipment and interiors.
Organised by the Dubai World Trade Centre, this year's boat show will be 20 per cent bigger than last year. A total of 800 companies participating from 48 countries will be present at DIBS, the largest assembly of leisure watercraft, equipment and supplies in the UAE's history.
