Dubai is set to solidify its status as a global yachting capital with the upcoming 11th edition of the Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show. Scheduled from October 31st to November 2nd, 2025, at the scenic Dubai Creek Marina, the event will showcase a impressive collection of over 50 pre-owned yachts and boats with a combined value exceeding 200 million dirhams (approximately US$54.5 million). This exhibition underscores the vibrant and growing market for marine vessels in the region.
Under the theme “A Boat for Everyone,” the show aims to democratize yacht ownership by presenting a wide array of vessels at accessible price points. The exhibition will feature more than 50 local, regional, and international brands, displaying a diverse range of watercraft. Prospective buyers and maritime enthusiasts can explore options from compact 20-foot boats to luxurious superyachts stretching over 100 feet, all available for purchase. Organizers are expecting a significant turnout, with projections of over 5,000 visitors, including private buyers, investors, and tourism industry professionals.
The event takes place amid a period of robust expansion for the UAE’s marine tourism and transportation sector. The country has established a dominant position, accounting for roughly 50% of the entire yacht and marina market in the Persian Gulf and the wider Middle East. This leadership is supported by extensive infrastructure, including more than 22 marinas across the UAE with a total capacity for over 4,190 vessels. The Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show serves as a key catalyst for this industry, providing a centralized platform that connects sellers with a broad audience of potential buyers. By facilitating these transactions and promoting the lifestyle associated with boating, the event directly contributes to Dubai’s strategic vision of becoming the world’s leading center for maritime leisure and commerce.
