Dubai International Boat Show – Since its inception in 1992 as a modest event focused on the local maritime industry, Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) has grown in size and popularity to become one of the world’s most prestigious boat shows.

In the past three decades, the event has evolved into one of the largest and most established boating events in the Middle East with an unwavering commitment to provide an unforgettable experience. With its 30th edition, you’ll experience the craftsmanship of the world’s premier boatbuilders, the adrenaline rush of watersports, and the excitement of refined living – from aviation and supercars to high-end fashion and marine-inspired art.

Dubai Harbour is where Dubai’s deep historical connection with the Arabian Sea meets with the taste of a luxurious nautical lifestyle to offer the ultimate marine experience!
At this extraordinary seafront district, you can embrace the call of the ocean in the leading global hub for maritime tourism, nestled between the city’s most-loved landmarks, stunning beaches and world-famous attractions.

Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) is established as the MENA region’s number one marine luxury, leisure and lifestyle industry event. DIBS is the premium event to gain exclusive market exposure to the largest and most influential gathering in the MENA marine industry.

The Dubai International Boat Show is a spectacular event. The view from the harbor is incredible, and the buildings lining the skyline are seemingly endless. With an abundance of exquisite restaurants, delightful shopping facilities and, of course, some of the world’s most impressive boats on show, Dubai is a city that promises you will never get bored. With so much variety to choose from, make sure you take a look at our FairPromotion leisure guide and fully enjoy your experience at the show.

Dubai’s International Boat Show displays not only boats, but a variety of companies working in the diving or automotive industry. Even though our loyalties lie with the boats, the extra industries allow a real variable element of the show that attracts a wide range of people. We love being surrounded by the huge boats that never fail to make an appearance in Dubai. And better yet, a lot of brands that we love represent themselves in the huge air-conditioned tents. Bliss!
