His Highness commended the exhibition's continued growth as it marks its 31st edition. This success reflects Dubai’s ambitious vision to further establish itself as a top global tourism destination, as well as a leading international hub for marine tourism, with a particular focus on yachts and boat tourism.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed attributed Dubai’s growing attractiveness as a prime global marine tourism and luxury yacht destination to the emirate’s significant investments in developing reliable and sophisticated infrastructure. These include state-of-the-art ports and marinas equipped with comprehensive services and facilities to support the sector and ensure a seamless experience for visitors. Furthermore, His Highness highlighted how Dubai has implemented supportive regulations that foster investment and innovation, positioning the city as a prime destination for diverse players within the maritime industry, including manufacturers, traders, and yacht owners.

Touring the event, His Highness visited several pavilions and stands, including Dubai Police; Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation; Exalto Emirates; KJM Marine; Sanlorenzo SD96; and Gulf Craft Inc.

During the tour, His Highness Sheikh Ahmed was accompanied by His Excellency Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, and the Dubai World Trade Centre Authority; His Excellency Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DP World and Chairman of the Ports, Customs and Free Zone Corporation; His Excellency Saeed Hareb, Secretary-General of the Dubai Sports Council; and Abdulla Binhabtoor, CEO of Shamal Holding, owners of Dubai Harbour.

Since its inception in 1992, the Dubai International Boat Show has expanded in both size and participation to become one of the world’s most prestigious events of its kind. The 31st edition of the event, taking place from 19 to 23 February, showcases the craftsmanship of the world’s premier boatbuilders while also highlighting exciting watersports options and the finer aspects of a nautical lifestyle, from aviation and supercars to high-end fashion and marine-inspired art.
