The Dubai International Boat Show Is Back
The leisure marine community will come together to celebrate the first International Dubai Boat Show in two years…

Not a boating fan? Fret not. The highly anticipated event will include a whole host of activities. Start by doing a mini watch making workshop lead by luxury timepiece brand, Panerai. Then proceed to walk down the Supercar Promenade and have your picture taken beside one of three Lamborghini Veneno’s that exist worldwide.
Guests will also be invited to pop into the exclusive Marine Art Gallery, where a collection of sea-inspired art created by internationally acclaimed artist and sculptors will be exhibited.
The Boat Show promises to offer fun for the whole family. From kayaking, to paddle-boarding and even scuba diving, the activities will cater to all ages.
The five day show will also be full of entertainment. Take in some live music or watch an intense flyboard competition.
Show-goers will also have the chance to learn all about scuba diving from a Guinness Book record breaker and professional divers who will be on site to sharing their stories.
End your visit by watching the sunset at the Nikki Beach Pop up, while enjoying their specially curated food and beverage menu.
