The Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) 2025, running from February 19-23 at Dubai Harbour, promises to be bigger than ever. With SuperYacht Times returning as a media partner and Dubai’s booming luxury market, the show expects increased attendance and investment. Highlights include the Superyacht Avenue, Dive MENA Expo, and various watersports exhibitions.
The global luxury yacht market is poised for significant growth, driven by rising demand for recreational tourism and advancements in technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and materials such as carbon fiber. Despite high operational costs, these innovations are expected to make yachts more efficient, durable, and appealing to discerning consumers.
