Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show 2025: Luxury Meets Sustainability

Discover how the 11th edition of the Pre‑Owned Boat Show 2025 at Dubai Creek Marina (Oct 31-Nov 2, 2025) presents over 50 brands, Dhs 200 million+ of pre-owned yachts and a strong focus on sustainable marine tourism in the Middle East.

Experience Luxury Boating at Dubai’s Pre-Owned Boat Show

A Premier Marketplace for Pre-Owned Vessels

The Pre-Owned Boat Show in Dubai has evolved into a key fixture on the regional marine calendar. Now entering its 11th edition (Oct 31–Nov 2, 2025), the waterfront at Dubai Creek Marina will host more than 50 brands and a curated selection of pre-owned yachts and boats ranging in size from 20 to 100 feet — valued collectively at over Dhs 200 million. 

For B2B travel agents, consolidators and corporate travel planners, this event offers critical exposure to both the luxury yacht market and the growing pre-owned boating segment. Dealers, brokers and marine-service providers gather to connect with investors, charter companies and high-net-worth-individuals seeking value in second-hand vessels.

Sustainability and Circular Economy in Focus

A notable shift this year is the emphasis on sustainable marine tourism. By spotlighting pre-owned boats, the show underscores the circular-economy benefits of re-using vessels rather than always buying new.
Dubai’s ambitions to strengthen its maritime leadership are supported by advanced infrastructure — with 22+ marinas, capacity for thousands of boats, and a hub that increasingly caters to regional and global yachting demand.

For travel industry stakeholders, this focus signals growing demand not only for luxury boating experiences but for eco-conscious options – an emerging value proposition for charter operators, corporate incentive programmes and marine tourism packages.

Themes & Attendance: “A Boat for Everyone”

This edition’s theme, “A Boat for Everyone,” reflects a broad-market approach. Whether first-time boat owners, experienced investors, or charter operators, there’s an offering tailored to the budget and use-case.

Travel-industry professionals should note:

• Over 5,000 visitors are expected, including industry professionals and high-value clients.

• The sized range and price points mean opportunities for cost-efficient acquisitions and charter fleet upgrades.

• Ancillary zones (marine-gear retail, food/entertainment, lifestyle exhibitors) create networking and cross-sell environments.
  
  

Why Dubai Stands Out as a Boating Hub

Dubai’s strong position in the yacht and marina market is more than luxury façade. The UAE accounts for nearly 50 % of the Arabian Gulf / Middle East yacht & marina market, underpinned by state-of-the-art marinas, logistics infrastructure and a welcoming regulatory regime. 

For B2B travel agencies and corporate travel planners, partnering with Dubai-based yacht brokers or charter operators becomes a strategic decision: easy connectivity, strong facilities, and access to international buyers and clients.

What to Expect at the Show

• A diverse collection of pre-owned vessels (20–100 ft), available for sale or charter negotiations.

• Exhibitors ranging from brokers, dealers, marine-services firms and accessory suppliers.

• A networking-rich environment: maritime professionals, charter companies, investors and marine-tour-operators in attendance.

• Sustainability-led segments: eco-friendly boat builds, energy-efficient marine tech, reusable-vessel market focus.

• Venue: Dubai Creek Marina, offering a premium waterfront backdrop.
  
  

Tips for Travel Agents & Corporate Planners

• Book client visits early: Encourage high-value clients or charter-fleet operators to register ahead for the event.

• Leverage charter-upgrade conversations: Use the pre-owned format to pitch value/packages to corporate clients looking for charter or incentive retreats.

• Promote sustainability credentials: Clients increasingly care about green credentials — highlight the event’s circular-economy focus.

• Create cross-sell opportunities: Pair yacht visits with Dubai’s broader tourism offering (luxury resorts, dining, marina-side experiences) to build full itineraries.

• Partner with brokers onsite: Make local contacts during the show to offer your clients preferential access or deals in the future.
  
  

Conclusion – Strategic Takeaway for B2B Travel Professionals

For travel agents, consolidators and corporate travel planners, the 2025 Pre-Owned Boat Show in Dubai is more than a lifestyle event — it’s a strategic platform. It offers access to pre-owned vessel markets, charter-opportunities, sustainable-tourism alignment and high-value network exposure in a globally-competitive maritime hub. By proactively engaging with this event, your business can enhance service offerings, enrich client-value propositions and build meaningful maritime-travel partnerships.
