Watch: 31st edition of Dubai International Boat Show kicks off at Dubai Harbour

Dubai: The 31st edition of the Dubai International Boat Show kicked off at Dubai Harbour, with industry leaders optimistic about strong business growth driven by rising tourism, movement of Ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UNHWIs) into the UAE, and increasing demand.

Industry leaders, both manufacturers and brokerages, expect yacht sales figures to be in the “double-digit” this year.

Host venue Dubai Harbour had to increase the number of berths at the harbour to accommodate the growing number of superyachts participating in the show.
