The Dubai International Boat Show is returning for its 29th edition this March and it’s set to be bigger, and better looking than ever.
Taking place from March 1st to 5th, it is celebrated as the largest boat show in the entire Middle East and has an XXL location to match – the stunning Dubai Harbour, which overlooks the Dubai Marina, Ain Dubai, and the Arabian Ocean.
With more than 30,000 visitors expected and 1,000 brands represented, the DIBS 23 is undoubtedly the must-visit destination for those who share a love for the opulent side of life and the deep blue ocean.
Whether you’re in the market for a new superyacht, or simply want to explore the latest aquatic fashions, mark your calendars for the DIBS 23.
Sustainability is also at the forefront of the conversations taking place at the DIBS 23, born out of a love for the marine world.
This year sees the launch of S.E.A. Mission (Sustainable Environmental Action) – a programme of initiatives at DIBs to promote taking care of the world’s oceans.
Ethical Yacht Wear, a sustainable brand, that usually is only available for crew members to wear as uniforms, has created limited-edition ocean-inspired t-shirts and accessories which will go on sale at the event.
Sales from Ethical Yacht Wear have been used to fund the removal of 640,684 plastic bottles from the ocean by paying people in poorer coastal communities to pick up plastics as jobs, reducing property and keeping plastic out of our seas, so they don’t just look good – they do good.
Also, look out for S.E.A stickers around the five-day event, for opportunities to take care of the planet by ordering sustainably sourced food options that are served without single-use plastic; refill your reusable water bottles at stations provided by the Dubai Can initiative, or, or learn more about the great work of the Dubai Turtle Rehabilitation Project.
If you love the finer things in life (because who doesn’t?) you’ll also have the chance to see luxury items and accessories from brands, including Middle Eastern label Carter & White as well as British furniture designer Neal Jones.
For the automotive enthusiasts, this is your chance to admire vintage supercars which will be showcased at the event by car club Group 63.
A-listers and VIP guests will also have access to a private lounge as well as private tours to make sure you soak up as much as you can throughout the five days. Learn, experience and enjoy all that the sea has to offer whilst enjoying quality dining provided by Nikki Beach, Buddha Bar and Dubai’s best DJs.
