Yamaha Motor to Exhibit at Japan International Boat Show 2010

Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. will display a booth at the Japan International Boat Show 2010, to be held from Thursday, March 4 to Sunday, March 7 at the Pacifico Yokohama exhibition site (Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture).

This year marks the 50th year since the start of Yamaha Motor's marine business. At the Boat Show, we will introduce our latest products and services built on technologies and know-how that Yamaha Motor has cultivated over the years.

The theme of Yamaha Motor's exhibit booth will be "The Sea -- Unforgettable Weekends." In the indoor venue, Yamaha Motor will display mid to compact motorboats with a primary focus on new sport fishing models. Highlights include the FR-32 sport fishing boat and the SC-30 salon cruiser. Along with these boats, the booth will have displays of Yamaha's other popular marine products, including PWCs (personal Watercraft) and outboard motors. In the outdoor floating display area, Yamaha Motor will display its larger-class boats including the salon cruiser "EXULT 36 Sport Saloon," which was released in October last year.

At the booth, visitors will also find information on Yamaha Motor's membership exclusive marine activity club "Sea-Style", our boat license courses and other service-related aspects aimed at familiarizing access to marine leisure and recreation to as many people as possible. There will also be customer events that provide a marine experience.
