The Dubai International Boat Show is the region’s undisputed, multi-award winning maritime sales platform, bringing together over 5,000 high-net-worth individuals from both the UAE as well as the wider region, with world-class suppliers and distributors from across the maritime spectrum.

With a rich history and a proven track record spanning 23 years, the exhibition is the most anticipated event in the Middle Eastern maritime calendar. With an emphasis on brand message–partnership, passion, and progress–the exhibition is an unparalleled platform for exhibitors to showcase boats and products to the Middle East’s marine investors and enthusiasts.

With over 26,500 visitors from 120 countries at last year’s show, the Dubai International Boat Show is among the world’s top five leading boat shows with the largest VIP delegation in the Middle East, including royal dignitaries and individuals from leading blue-chip companies. The event hosts more than 850 leading international exhibitors from over 50 countries in over 85,000 square metres of exhibition space at the Dubai International Marine Club.

At the 2015 Dubai International Boat Show, a UAE-based luxury yacht manufacturer will debut the AS 100, a $5.45 million super yacht that has been called a perfect combination of luxury and power. Also new in 2015 are segments for DIBS Sailing, DIBS Fishing, and DIBS Watersports with interactive zones for visitors to see the latest products, talk to manufacturers and suppliers, and take part in hands-on demonstrations.

The Dubai International Boat Show is co-located with Dive Middle East, which in its 7th year is the region’s most established diving event.
