Since its inception more than a decade ago, the Dubai International Boat Show has become the Middle East's largest gathering of boats, marine equipment and services, anything to do with the marine leIsure industry. A sustained growth in both the local and international exhibitors combined with an increased number of high profile visitors, has developed the show into arguably the most significant event in the region.
The Dubai International Boat Show is open to trade and general public. National group pavilions as well as marine equipment manufacturers and suppliers showcase their products in one area. Small and medium sized boats as well as engines and water sports equipment occupy the large external area. An air-conditioned structure hosts the super yacht and luxury yacht boat builders as well as waterside developers, interior design companies, charter companies and brokers. The large luxury yachts over 12m are displayed on the water in the marine display area.
Massive waterside and island developments in and around Dubai are generating increased demand for leisure boats, marine equipment and services.
