The yachting industry is set to witness a significant boost in the Middle East following a fresh pact between the esteemed Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) and Dubai Harbour. This collaboration ushers in a new era for the yachting community, positioning the premium marina as an ideal ongoing backdrop for a top-tier boat show.
On the second-to-last day of DIBS 2024, a landmark announcement revealed that the event would be forging a stronger bond with its host, Dubai Harbour. This alliance is poised to propel the international yachting industry forward, firmly establishing the region as a premier destination for marine tourism, including Dubai yacht charters.
The agreement guarantees DIBS a state-of-the-art infrastructure and a prime location for both the present and future, with ample room for the popular United Arab Emirates-based show to grow. This pledge of long-term stability is set to maintain Dubai's upward trajectory as a top-tier superyacht charter destination, building on the unmistakable excitement and intrigue that permeated this year's event.
Dubai Harbour stands as the region's largest marina, nestled at the core of Dubai, making it the ideal hub for DIBS. We are dedicated to nurturing this relationship, bolstering Dubai's burgeoning leisure maritime sector for years ahead.
Stakeholders from local and international arenas, including partners, exhibitors, shipbuilders, and yacht brokers, have welcomed the partnership with open arms, recognizing Dubai as a crucial axis for sustained business development. The local waterfront community is poised to thrive by continuing to host a global-scale yacht show, which is instrumental in fostering continued growth and maintaining the region's esteemed position in the yachting and yacht charter industry.
Looking forward, DIBS is set to grace Dubai Harbour once again for its 31st edition in February 2025, with organizers indicating a new and revised format. The forthcoming event promises even greater international involvement, capturing the essence of the region's most significant boating show and cementing its status as one of the pivotal motor yacht events worldwide.
