DIBS 2026: Dubai International Boat Show Postponed Until November

Over the past weeks, we have been reviewing international travel dynamics and market conditions across the wider region. Following consultations, we have jointly agreed to reschedule DIBS until November 25-29 at the Dubai Harbour venue.

Coinciding with the new proposed dates for the 2026 edition, the Dubai International Boat Show will enjoy enhanced accessibility with the scheduled opening of the Shaikh Zayed Road that will lead directly to the harbor.

Going forward, DIBS intends to permanently move the show to a November fixture, placing it in line with the beginning of the United Arab Emirates yacht charter season. The prime timing ensures the event will offer unbeatable insights into what to expect from a charter vacation in the region, with proximity to a range of alternative destinations and event highlights such as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix at Yas Marina.

Annually welcoming some of the most esteemed names in the yachting industry, the show will maintain its show layout and format, including the Superyacht Avenue, Dive Pool, and DIVE Expo, with VIP areas continuing to provide an enhanced show experience. 

Expecting brands such as Princess, Gulf Craft, and Sanlorenzo, visitors to the rescheduled 2026 edition of the Dubai International Boat Show can expect an exciting event full of innovative Dubai yacht charters, with a potentially heightened range due to the prime calendar slot.
