Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show 2025 Sees Record Sales & Visitors

Dubai’s 11th edition of the Pre-Owned Boat Show, organized by Viya Marine, a subsidiary of Dubai Golf, wrapped up this week with an impressive turnout and record-breaking sales. The three-day event welcomed over 5,000 visitors, including boating enthusiasts, investors, and luxury yacht buyers, highlighting Dubai’s growing prominence as a regional marine leisure hub.

Themed “A Boat for Everyone,” this year’s show featured more than 50 local, regional, and international brands, displaying 64 yachts and boats—a 20 percent increase compared to last year. Visitors explored a diverse range of vessels, from high-end luxury yachts to entry-level speedboats, catering to a broad spectrum of preferences and budgets.

Standout exhibits included the ultra-rare Riva Gucci, one of only 10 built worldwide and valued at AED 3 million, and the eco-friendly Greenline 40 Hybrid, which operates on solar-powered systems. The show’s premium highlight, the Italian-built Riva 82 Diva (2024), was showcased at AED 30 million, while the Chapparel boat from the United States, priced at AED 68,000, emphasized the event’s inclusivity for first-time buyers.

The strong visitor turnout and vibrant deal-making at the show reflected the confidence of regional and international buyers in Dubai’s marine and luxury investment sector. With its growing reputation as a hotspot for yacht enthusiasts and investors alike, the Pre-Owned Boat Show continues to strengthen Dubai’s standing as a key destination for marine leisure and lifestyle experiences.
