The 11th edition of the Pre-Owned Boat Show is set to return to Dubai Creek Marina from October 31 to November 2, 2025, reaffirming the city’s growing stature in the global maritime and yachting industry.
Organised by Viya Marine under the theme “A Boat for Everyone,” the event will feature more than 50 brands and over 50 yachts and boats, ranging from 20 to 100 feet, with a combined value exceeding AED200 million. The show offers visitors the chance to explore a wide range of pre-owned vessels that blend quality and affordability.
Since its launch in 2011, the Pre-Owned Boat Show has evolved into a key regional platform connecting sea enthusiasts, investors, and luxury yacht buyers. This year’s edition highlights sustainability and the circular economy, promoting the reuse of vessels and reducing the need for new production.
Abdulla Ali Al Noon, Director of Special Projects at Dubai Golf and responsible for Viya Marine, said the event will strengthen Dubai’s reputation as a leading maritime destination. He noted that it will also drive trade, investment, and marine tourism across the UAE and the wider GCC.
With more than 5,000 visitors expected, the show continues to reflect the rapid growth of the UAE’s maritime sector, which accounts for nearly half of the yacht and marina market in the Arabian Gulf. Supported by world-class infrastructure and aligned with the Dubai Industrial Strategy 2030, the exhibition provides a vital platform for business opportunities, partnerships, and sustainable industry growth.
