KARACHI: Pakistan boat rally will return with its second edition, set to take place in mid-February this year.

After the success of the inaugural edition in 2021, Pakistan Boat Rally and Fishing Association (PBRFA) has decided to continue promoting ocean tourism. 

"We got a massive response from people after the success of first edition of Pakistan boat rally," shared Ahmed Mamoor Amimi, the president of PBRFA, while speaking at a press briefing here on Tuesday. 

"We will be continuing our passion for the promotion of ocean sports with second edition of Pakistan boat rally. Initially, we plan to hold this rally in mid-February this year," said Amimi. 

Boat rally is considered formula one race of the sea. Last time, the rally took place between the sea of Gawadar and Karachi. This time the distance will be reduced to make the rally more interesting. 

"This time, we will be finishing our rally on Astola Island, one of the beautiful islands of Pakistan. The reduction of distance will increase the competition among the boaters," said the organizer. 

"We have started getting requests for participation. As many as 10-12 boaters will be able to participate in the event," he added. 

Pakistan Navy is the prime supporter of Pakistan boat rally and assisted the organizers to make the event successful last year. 

"Pakistan Navy has always supported us in this cause. Together, we will make ocean tourism more popular in Pakistan," Amimi concluded.
