Marasi Yachts 9-web

over 400 boats and water crafts this
year. We have over 100 new companies
and over 30 global and regional
launches. Notable yachts this year
are the Monte Carlo 6, which won
boat of the year in 2017, the 50
metre Rocket by Heesen, the 72
metre Serenity and a wide range of
sailing yachts from Group Beneteau
from France representing Lagoon,
Jeaneau, Prestige and many other
leading brands. The UAE-based Gulf
Craft is always a hometown favorite
at Dubai International Boat Show,
and will be back again this year with
a breath taking selection of their
luxury boats.
What are the new activities
that will take place in Dubai
International Boat Show 2018?
This year will see a host of new
activities for all of our visitors,
including water sports stunt shows
and taster sessions including kitesurfing,
sailing, SUP, kayaking, free
sailing experiences with Eden Yachting,
the DXB paddle race by Seayou,
the Woobly Boat Race, Music Festival
by Redbull and more. We have
also partnered with Nikki Beach that
will be hosting a beautiful lounge
experience from 3pm until 10pm to
Celebrate Life with signature music
and entertainment in a plush ambiance.
What is the theme of Dubai
International Boat Show this year
and what is different than last
year?
With the new location at Dubai
Canal there will certainly be a ‘new’
feeling to this year’s show. This fits
perfectly with this year’s theme
of “Let’s go where you feel free”
which epitomizes the freedom a
marine lifestyle gives you. On social
media we’ve been using the hashtag
#letsgo, and we want to hear the
stories that embody the freedom
our visitors feel when they take to
the sea. As with every year, we strive
to keep the show fresh and different
and this year we think everyone will
be impressed.
