Dubai sets the stage for global marine excellence
For over three decades, the Dubai International Boat Show has defined excellence in the global marine industry. Today, it offers exhibitors unparalleled visibility before a discerning international audience.
Furthermore, the show presents an exceptional platform for luxury yachts, advanced marine technology, refined lifestyle brands, and premium water sports innovations. At its 32nd edition, world-class superyachts will take center stage. In addition, exclusive launches and private meetings with influential decision-makers will shape the next chapter of maritime luxury.
Dubai’s strategic advantage
Dubai has firmly established itself as one of the world’s most dynamic maritime capitals. Strategically positioned between Europe, Asia, and Africa, it offers exceptional global connectivity. Moreover, its modern infrastructure and pro-business environment attract companies and discerning travelers worldwide.
At the same time, rising demand for yacht experiences has elevated the emirate’s maritime profile. Driven by luxury tourism trends, Dubai has become a refined hub for premium yachting activity. Furthermore, state-of-the-art marinas such as Dubai Harbour, Mina Seyahi, and Port Rashid provide world-class capacity and services.
Beyond development, Dubai’s long-term vision strengthens its global appeal. The introduction of yachting golden visas has encouraged owners and professionals to establish a permanent presence. As a result, a dynamic ecosystem of innovation, investment, and lifestyle continues to grow. With its temperate waters and contemporary facilities, Dubai offers an exceptional setting for yachting enthusiasts. Meanwhile, international shipyards and luxury brands gain access to a market that values craftsmanship, excellence, and innovation.
Icebreaker Magazine proudly joins DIBS 2026 as an official media partner. Join us 8–12 April 2026 at Dubai Harbour, where aspiration and influence come together at the ocean’s edge.
