Dubai International Boat Show 2011

It is the highlight of the yachting calendar, bringing together a host of established boating companies and yachting aficionados. The Dubai International Boat Show has been running for 19 years, and is set to commence again on the 1st March 2011.

For four days exhibitors and visitors will be able to mix amongst the elite of the boating world, and demonstrate the latest trends, products and services on offer within the marine industry. It is the largest and most prestigious event of its kind, providing a prime opportunity for exhibitors to show off their wares and for consumers to browse the selection of goods on offer.

The Middle East has become a hotspot within the luxury yachting circuit, accounting for 33% of the entire fleet of superyachts owned globally. It is here that the future of yachting lies, and with the event taking place in the heart of the region, an unrivalled level of access to such a captive market is afforded to exhibitors. Figures from last year show that some 90% of visitors were of Middle East origin, whilst the regional breakdown of exhibitors was far more eclectic, with 47% travelling from Europe and the Americas.

The development of luxury marinas within the area has been extensive and in keeping with the continued growth of the Dubai as a powerful economical state and lucrative tourist destination.

Companies exhibiting at the show cover a vast range of services, from boat storage and transport to marina software and marine finance. With more than 700 exhibitors expected to attend, there will be no shortage of ideas and inspiration to capture the imagination of the thousands of visitors flocking to the event.

The show is held at the Dubai International Marine Club in Mina Seyahi, which offers a 300-berth marina, stunning views and luxurious accommodation only a short distance away. The location is a perfect setting for this high-class gathering of boating enthusiasts, providing an ideal example of the luxury lifestyle which accompanies the investment in such an industry.
