The Dubai International Boat Show, originally scheduled for April 8-12, has been postponed, organizers have announced.
Due to the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, the 32nd edition of the event has been rescheduled to November 25-29, 2026, at Dubai Harbour.
This Autumn slot, strategically chosen in tandem with the start of the region’s boating season, is expected to be a permanent change, effective for all future iterations of the show.
The Dubai International Boat Show is one of the biggest luxury marine exhibitions on the nautical calendar. Last year’s event saw 35,000 visitors and exhibitors from 60 countries, including ten members of the SuperYacht Builders Association (SYBAss). The event is organized by the Dubai World Trade Center.
DIBS was originally moved from its traditional February slot to April due to the scheduling changes owing to the Holy Month of Ramadan.
