Everything you need to know about the 2020 Dubai International Boat Show
The annual show will return in a new location from November 24 to 28…
The 28th edition of the annual Dubai International Boat Show will be hosted at the new location of Dubai Harbour from Tuesday November 24 to Saturday November 28. The five-day event will see 450 striking vessels, and over 800 companies from 40 countries come together to celebrate all things maritime.
You can expect to find a range of exciting activities including leisure crafts, sailing and fishing boats and new-to-market aquatic gadgets and toys, including aqua bikes, personal submarines and electric surf boards.
The theme for this year is ‘Loving What’s to Come’, presumably a nod to the location which will officially open in October 2020. As well as being home to a super sized Marina, which will have the capacity to berth yachts of up to 160 metres, Dubai Harbour will boast a purpose built cruise terminal, shops, restaurants, cafés, luxury residences and hotels.
