The Dubai International Boat Show has concluded following a successful week of high-value boat sales, key discussions addressing industry developments, ground-breaking agreements, and partnerships shaping the future of the yachting world.
The exhibition, which concluded on Sunday, is recognized as one of the most influential boat shows in the world and has accelerated the international yachting industry during its five-day run, proving why Dubai has fast become one of the most sought-after marine leisure tourism hubs.
