The Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) is set to make a splash once again at the Dubai Harbour from February 28 to March 3. Now in its celebratory 30th year, the popular UAE event has blossomed into one of the most prominent yachting mainstays in the Middle East, boasting an exceptional display of marine craftsmanship from leading shipyards, thrilling watersports, nautical-themed art, and a fleet of more than 200 yachts showcased on both land and sea.
Promising to be a spectacular milestone celebration, DIBS returns to the heart of Dubai Harbour —a location steeped in maritime history that has transformed from a humble fishing port to a global maritime nexus.
