The Dubai International Boat Show gets bigger and better every year as it gains in popularity!
Possibly the reason the DIBS is such a popular show is due to its location. The Middle East proudly boasts of the world’s highest level of investment in waterfront property and developments. With this level of development they have more people living and working on the coast than ever before, and these people want water toys, and this is an ideal opportunity to view new yachts for sale as well as charter yachts. Yachts are the ultimate water toys, and the Middle East has buyers for them. There are more wealthy people in the Middle East than anyplace else in the world. For this reason, exhibitors from all around the globe want to be a part of the Dubai International Boat Show, and especially those exhibiting expensive water toys and luxury mega yachts for sale.
The very extensive exhibitor list for the 2013 show includes yacht designers, builders, and shipyards, boat parts manufacturers and sellers, marine service providers, yachting equipment and tender sellers, and many more. To name just a few, Stealth (South Africa), Caterpillar (USA), Nautica (Italy), Zodiac International (France), Abel (USA), Royal Marine (UAE), Plastico (Ukraine), Designpropeller (Germany), Tohatsu (Japan), Icon Yachts (Netherlands), Fincantieri (Italy), Heesen Yachts (The Netherlands), Mengi Yay, Mural Yachts, Oceanco, Sunseeker, Trinity and Westport.
