The 24th edition of the Dubai International Boat Show opens its doors today, and will run until Saturday 5th March.

Boat Show Highlights

Featuring over 800 exhibitors from 51 countries and more than 430 world-class superyachts on display, this year's show is also set to further enhance visitor experience by creating a ‘360 degree’ luxury lifestyle feel.

This will be achieved through a host of boating-related activities such as sailing and fishing trips, together with stand-up paddle boarding and windsurfing trial sessions. For the first time ever, the Dubai International Boat Show will host a highly anticipated gourmet food event in addition to providing exclusive beach access and on-board dining experiences.

This global large-scale boating event, which is being organised by the Dubai World Trade Centre, is expected to receive over 30,000 visitors from around 120 countries over the coming days.
