About the event

What is Dubai Boat Show?

The Dubai International Boat Show is the region's leading marine and luxury lifestyle event. It brings superyachts, motor yachts, sailing boats, watersports equipment and marine services to Dubai Harbour, where it has been held since 2022. From 2026 the show takes place every November rather than in spring, so that it falls in the main Gulf cruising season. Many yachts are shown on the water, with visitor tours on board.

Organisers report more than 32,000 visitors, over 1,000 brands and more than 200 boat and watercraft displays, with superyachts worth an estimated AED 2.9–3.1 billion on display in 2024–2025. Buyers are high-value and visual, so dealers and brands need premium yacht photography, walkthrough videos, drone footage and polished social content.
