SHOWS Preview: Penang RendezVous
PENANG RENDEZVOUS RETURNS
M
alaysia will be in the spotlight in October when the Penang
RendezVous returns to its iconic location at Straits Quay
Marina, which hosted the first edition last July and will
again be dressed up for a parade of high-end yachts, cars,
property, watches, jewellery, art... and guests.
Billed as ‘Malaysia’s luxury lifestyle event in a nautical
environment’, the second Penang RendezVous will be held from
October 11-13. The inaugural edition featured 20 yachts, a seaplane
and a large range of supercars, with 3,000 VIP guests – including the
Malaysian Minister of Tourism – attending over the three days.
Event organiser Asia Rendez Vous is confident of building on
the first edition, while maintaining the show’s stylish blend of luxury
goods. Potential additions to this year’s show include a jazz band each
afternoon, a VIP Lounge with whisky and cognac exhibitions and
tastings, a cigar selection, champagne and fine wine tastings, plus
cocktail preparation demonstrations.
“We’re excited about the second Penang RendezVous because the
first one was a success and yet there’s so much to grow and build on.
The luxury yachts will capture attention on the water, the supercars
and classic cars will be the wow factor on land, and there’s much more.We even had a seaplane last year, so we’ll see what we can unveil this
year,” said Olivier Burlot, Director of Asia Rendez Vous.
“There will also be luxury watches, properties from across Asia,
fashion parades – which were such a success last year – fine wines,
top whisky, gourmet food and fantastic live music from bands and
DJs. It has really got everything in an amazing location at Straits Quay
Marina in Penang, one of Asia’s most iconic, historical cities.”
Participating yacht dealers last year included Penang-based Pen
Marine, which displayed motoryachts from British builder Princess
and France’s Prestige, a powercat from South Africa’s Leopard and a
sailing yacht from French yard Amel.
Simpson Marine, Asia’s largest yacht dealer, showcased models
from UK’s Sunseeker, Italian brands Riva and Monte Carlo Yachts,
and Beneteau of France, while Singapore-based Hong Seh Marine
displayed motor yachts from Italian brands Ferretti Yachts and
Cranchi.
