About the event

What is Dubai Intl Boat Show?

The Dubai International Boat Show showcases superyachts, motor yachts, sailing boats, water sports equipment and marine services. It was traditionally held in February or March, but the organiser has moved it permanently to November to match the start of the regional boating season; the 32nd edition takes place on 25–29 November 2026 at Dubai Harbour. The 2027 edition is expected in November, but dates have not yet been announced.

The organiser reports that the 2025 edition drew more than 32,000 visitors from 122 countries, with 1,000+ brands and over 200 boats on display worth about AED 3.1 billion. Yachts sell on visuals. Brokers, shipyards and dealers need polished walkthrough videos, lifestyle photography and launch-day posts that reach high-net-worth buyers who may never step on board.
