The Dubai International Boat Show is returning to Dubai Harbour from 25-29 November 2026 for its 32nd edition. Organised by Dubai World Trade Centre, this long-established event at one of the most iconic locations in the Middle East - if not the world - has become the region’s leading gathering for professionals and companies across the luxury marine sector.
The show has grown steadily in scale and reputation since its first edition in 1992, while this year’s decision to permanently schedule the event in November aligns with the beginning of the regional boating season for exhibitors to present new models and conduct business. Over 30,000 visitors attended the Dubai International Boat Show in 2025 and the total boats on display were collectively valued at approximately 3.1 billion AED (844 million USD).
Visitors can expect more than 100 boats and watercraft on display as well as over 1,000 brands spanning superyachts, tenders, marine equipment, diving technology and luxury lifestyle products. Specialised zones for Equipment, Supplies and Services Expo, Dive MENA and Marine Luxury Lifestyle will ensure there is something of interest for serious buyers, industry professionals or families enjoying a day out by the water.
D-Marin, the premium Mediterranean and Middle East marina group founded in 2003, now spans 26 marinas across nine countries and will be exhibiting at the Dubai International Boat Show. They will be joined by Old Doha Port, the official seaport of Qatar that was transformed from a historic port into a world-class, luxury superyacht marina.
Entry for individual and family visitors begins at AED 60, while trade professionals, boat owners, captains and divers can register for complimentary access subject to verification. The combination of high-end exhibits and professional networking opportunities, all surrounded by the iconic Dubai Harbour, makes the event a natural destination for anyone connected to the marine world or those drawn to the glamour of yachting.
