DUBAI INTERNATIONAL BOAT SHOW IS BACK

It’s back and promises to be better than ever. Dubai International Boat Show 2022, the Middle East’s largest and most-popular leisure marine event, will take place at Dubai Harbour, its glistening new home, from 9th-13th March. 

The Emirate’s nautical showpiece is celebrating its 28th edition and will mark the regional yachting industry’s first large-scale, in-person event since the COVID-19 pandemic. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre, the five-day show will be the first to take place at Dubai’s ground-breaking new marina, reuniting the region’s maritime community.

Dubai International Boat Show 2022 is set to welcome over 400 boat, yacht and watercraft brands including the world premiere of Sunreef’s 80 Eco Line, a glimpse at the all-new Princess Y85, and a regional debut for San Lorenzo’s innovative SX88. A jaw-dropping line up of more than 50 floating mansions from some of the world’s leading marques, such as Feadship, Majesty, Nomad, Cranchi, and Lurssen, will also be on show.

DIBS set to accelerate maritime demand

With DIBS 2022 providing an iconic backdrop and meeting ground to reinvigorate the global industry, Trixie LohMirmand, Executive Vice President, Events Management, DWTC, believes the eyes of both the regional and international yachting communities will be fixed on the Emirate once more. 

“As Dubai International Boat Show moves into its new home, Dubai Harbour, we look forward to enhancing Dubai’s status as an internationally renowned superyachting destination,” she said.  “The challenges of the last two years have sparked a desire for a more outdoor, spatial lifestyle, which in turn promise new growth opportunities for the industry. The leisure marine sector has continued to thrive in this period, while building on its ability to attract a wider and more diverse buyer base. Dubai International Boat Show offers that pivotal platform and opportunity for buyers and enthusiasts to finally appreciate the offerings of yachts, boats and accessories in their search for a creative and empowering passion.”

Next month’s show will feature an eclectic range of marine attractions, from the world’s biggest, most advanced superyachts to small fishing craft and recreational water-sports equipment. With a host of networking activities designed to boost knowledge and foster business across the industry, the event is a unique platform for the global yachting and nautical lifestyle communities.
