The annual event in the luxurious maritime hub of Dubai welcomes ocean enthusiasts and maritime professionals alike.
From the latest in luxury yachts, state-of-the-art marine technology, to exciting water sports demonstrations, and an array of food and entertainment —all these and more await visitors to the 31st annual Dubai International Boat Show 2025.
The largest event of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), DIBS is set to welcome more than 10,000 ocean lovers to Dubai Harbour, the most advanced marina in the region, from February 19th-23rd.
Here elite boatbuilders from around the globe will show off their latest vessels -- sophisticated yachts designed to reach new heights of luxury and demonstrate advances in engineering and sustainability. More than 200 yachts and other craft will be on display, with over 100 of them on the water at the Dubai Harbour, the home of DIBS for the last four years. Over five days visitors will be able to indulge their passion for the maritime lifestyle, as they mingle with other boating aficionados and browse 1,000 international brands presenting the latest in marine technology, gadgets, and lifestyle accessories.
Also, part of DIBS 2025 is DIVE MENA, the only event of its kind in the region for underwater adventurers, marine photographers, and diving professionals, who will appreciate the expo of the latest trends in underwater equipment, cameras, and diving techniques. In-pool demonstrations by experts will showcase cutting-edge products and there is even a chance for members of the public to take the plunge.
For those who don’t wish to get their feet wet, a thrilling water sports show will raise the excitement level for visitors of all ages, amazing audiences with heart racing performances of jet-skiing, fly boards, kitesurfing, and more. Since the luxe seagoing lifestyle takes in more than superyachts, DIBS 2025 includes curated collections of fashion, waterfront real estate, and sophisticated wares inspired by the ocean. What’s more, unique and exotic high-performance vehicles will be arrayed on Supercar Avenue, providing a rare glimpse into the most exclusive precincts of the automotive world.,
With the harbour full of yachts as a focus and Dubai’s spectacular skyline as a backdrop, visitors can also enjoy an array of culinary treats from food trucks to indulgent dining, while DJs and live performances add to the celebratory atmosphere.
For those who crave an elevated experience, the show’s invite-only VIP passes allow access to exclusive areas including Privé Lounge by The World of Yachts. Here select guests can discover fine food and beverages, and informal opportunities to connect with industry movers and shakers. The Captains’ Night is a chance for industry professionals to network with fellow captains in the oceangoing community.
Kicking off the 31st edition of DIBS 2025 is the Annual Dubai Boat Show Leisure Yachting Conference, where more than 200 leaders gather to discuss the boating industry and issues of regulation, sustainability, tourism, and how to further enhance the region as a maritime hub.
DIBS 2025 is a must for anyone interested in the future of luxury yachting, not only in the Middle East and North Africa, but around the world.
