Boating industry is a "Rising Star" in Sri Lanka's export products portfolio exhibiting a healthy growth rate during the recent past.
Sri Lanka has a long and proud history of boat building. The country being an island in the center of the Indian Ocean is at a great advantage to become the hub for boat manufacturing in the Asian region due to its strategic location, highly trainable workforce and the labour cost advantage.
Sri Lanka organizes its own BOAT SHOW once in every two years with an objective of providing a forum for the boat building industry to display and promote their respective sectors to potential clients.
Sri Lanka produces ships and boats that navigate global oceanic channels as well as inland waterways, with a wide range of manufacturers and shipyards delivering various boat and shipbuilding and dry dock services
