The countdown to the 21st Dubai International Boat Show is almost over and the preparations for the leading yacht event in the Middle East, as well as one of the most highly anticipated marine fair’s in the world, are well underway.

Dubai International Boat Show

Dubai International Boat Show

Excitement at the Dubai International Marine Centre in Mina Seyahi is at fever pitch as the stands take shape and the exhibition centers are mounted. Organizers of the show, the Dubai World Trade Centre, are confident that this year’s yacht event will be even bigger and better than last year’s – already a proven success.

In 2012, a record number of Superyacht Builders Association (SYBAs) members attended the show and even more are expected to participate in this year’s event, which begins on March 5th. At the last count, there were no fewer than 30 new exhibitors across all sectors from as far afield as Malta, Tunisia and Malaysia who had signed up to attend the four-day show.

Without doubt the most popular facet of the Dubai International Boat Show is the display of superyachts and to date, the Dubai World Trade Centre has confirmed that an impressive total of 19 of the world’s most luxurious superyachts will be showcased this year in the Superyacht Pavilion.

Among the luxury brands that are currently en route for the UAE include Italian yachting giants Benetti, German shipbuilders Lürssen, American luxury shipyard Palmer Johnson, and Sanlorenzo, from Italy.

Indeed one of the highlights of the yacht launches this year will be the Sanlorenzo Alloy 40 yacht 111, a stunning motor yacht built at the shipyard in Northern Italy.

Another Italian firm that will be attending the yacht launch is Mondo Marine, from Savona, a specialist in superyachts which will be participating in the Dubai International Boat Show for the first time.

Trixee Loh, Senior Vice President of Dubai World Trade Centre, said
: “The Dubai International Boat Show is synonymous with luxury yachting, and is the perfect opportunity for superyacht builders to market their high-end products to a burgeoning audience. The development of the Superyacht Experience pavilion supports the growing demand for superyachts in this lucrative market from regional buyers.”

Dubai International Boat Show 2012

The 21st edition of the Dubai International Boat Show will see 11 prominent Super Yacht Experience members taking part with two new superyacht builders, Mondo Marine and Palmer Johnson, attending this year. Prized Super Yacht Experience members taking part this year include: AMELS, Benetti, CRN, Fincantieri, Heesen, Lürssen, Mondo Marine, Oceanco, Palmer Johnson, Sanlorenzo and Trinity. For the first time, Sanlorenzo will showcase one of its luxurious superyachts on water at the Dubai International Boat Show.

Super Yacht Experience newcomer Mondo Marine is located in the popular yacht building area of Savona, Italy, with the expertise and facilities to build luxury superyachts from light alloy and steel ranging from 29 metres to over 50 metres in length. American superyacht builder and newcomer Palmer Johnson specialises in the construction of luxury high-performance superyachts and are contributing to a generation carbon fibre yachts with a revolutionary hull design that are faster, more efficient, stable and spacious.

“As Trinity Yachts continues to expand its global reach, the Dubai International Boat Show provides an ideal platform to tap into the Middle East luxury boating market and build relationships with potential buyers. We have gained recognition as one of the world’s elite builders of custom superyachts of high quality craftsmanship, state-of-the-art construction and engineering techniques acquired from many years of experience in the industry. We anticipate a strong response from potential buyers in the region this year,” said Jimmy Rivers, Vice President of Trinity Yachts.

The Middle East has long been associated with the world’s most luxurious superyachts. According to Superyacht.com’s 2013 forecast, 60% of the Top 100 superyachts are owned by Middle East residents. In addition, 55% of the Top 20 superyachts in the world currently have Middle East owners.

“The Dubai International Boat Show is synonymous with luxury yachting, and is the perfect opportunity for superyacht builders to market their high-end products to a burgeoning audience. The development of the Super Yacht Experience pavilion supports the growing demand for superyachts in this lucrative market from regional buyers,” said Trixee Loh, Senior Vice President of Dubai World Trade Centre, organiser of Dubai International Boat Show.

“The lure of seeing these multi-million dollar superyachts at close range appeals to a range of leisure boating enthusiasts, whether they are a high-end prospective buyer or a first-time visitor,” Loh added.

Marcel Onkenhout, Chief Executive Officer of Oceanco – one of the world’s finest luxury large yacht builders with the distinction of having built the largest yachts in Holland and having several 80 to 110m projects under construction – said: “Dubai International Boat Show’s exclusive location, select set-up and high profile visitors afford us the opportunity to promote our yachts and reach local and worldwide potential buyers. Oceanco has a strong order book and when the new facility is completed, we will be able to double our build capacity.”

World renowned superyacht manufacturer, Lürssen, is among the makers of some of the world’s largest yachts including the 155 metre-long motor yacht ‘Al Said’, owned by Sultan Qaboos bin Said of Oman.

“Dubai International Boat Show is among the best platforms to showcase our latest models, and inform visitors about the recent developments and innovations in shipbuilding. The event allows us to meet the demand for our luxury superyachts within the Middle East region,” said Michael Breman, Sales Director, Lürssen.

Dubai International Boat Show is set to host more than 750 international and regional exhibiting companies with exhibitors from more than 49 countries participating including debut appearances from Malta, Armenia and Malaysia.

She is a combination between a working hull, an ocean research vessel, a cruising ship as well as a superyacht, with an exceptional exterior design and stylish interior.

At the heart of the new Mondo 45 superyacht project is an owner’s desire to experience the sea in any condition in full comfort. The project combines the formalism of yacht design and the iconographical elements of the explorer. An excellent quality of build is assured by the yard MONDO MARINE. The yard is noted for building the 50-metre expedition yacht TRIBU’, the first explorer vessel to obtain the Green Star certification from the Registro Italiano Navale (RINA) for yachts that minimise their environmental impact thanks to their latest generation plants and systems.

The design philosophy is based on research into maximum functionality at sea and the desire to create a yacht that is perfect for living aboard during long voyages. The result is a mix between a working hull, an ocean research vessel, a cruising ship and a superyacht. The MONDO45 explorer measures 45.05 metres in length – to satisfy the port regulations for yachts below 50 metres – and is 8.80 metres abeam. The hull is in steel and the structure in aluminium.

Mondo45 yacht is built over four decks and is capable of navigating in all seas and types of weather. She can reach a maximum speed of 15 knots and carry 80,000 litres of fuel, offering a range of 6,000 miles – a trip around the world with only three stops.

The iconographic elements of the explorer, as stressed by Engineer Cutolo, have been respected and revised in a modern key to support the functional aspects. The first thing that strikes you about the motor yacht MONDO45 is her exterior profile. The dynamics of the volumes, inspired by work boats, have been smoothed down to an elegant and extremely refined form with a generous use of soft surfaces and continuity, with elements in stainless steel that soften the line of the windows.

The large stern, almost like a naval ship, evokes the drawbridge of a medieval castle – hostile and impenetrable when closed, made to resist the following waves, but which opens wide to offer hospitality when the boat is at anchor. There is a large stair that leads to the charms of the interior or allows the guests access to the sea.

In the spacial relationship between the interior and exterior there are elements that make the project unique. Aboard there is everything you could possibly need to make an extremely comfortable trip around the world – large socialising areas, attention paid to the distribution of space and clever use of lighting aboard. All these elements define the vocation of the yacht as creating a comfortable and relaxed life aboard. MONDO45 yacht, in fact, has a series of large sliding glass doors that give continuity to the spaces, where interior and exterior space develop in harmony without other solutions to provide continuity.

The large lounge on the main deck expands in a fascinating way thanks to semi-circular sliding doors that, at the stern, create continuity between the interior and the exterior areas on deck and the bathing platform.

Literally, the saloon looks our towards the sea and infinity, thanks to two large sliding doors and two terraces, one each side, which extend the space available to guests beyond the borders of the ship.

Even the different levels are planned in a perfectly structured way thanks to the large, symmetric external stairs that are transparent, almost aerial, and flank the large semi-circular doors, giving continuity, also visual, to the various levels of the exterior decks.

The various decks are characterised in function of their destination. The main deck is the large beach, the enormous ‘beach club’ where the guests can interact, choosing to remain protected from the sun or not and with easy access to the water.

The bridge deck is dedicated primarily to navigation. The bow zone has a comfortable divan and the stern area is dominated by the large swimming pool equipped with a current that allows you to swim even with the yacht under way.

The flybridge offers a comfortable lunch/dinner area protected by a large hard top, with a small pantry and a guest bathroom, essential but extremely practical.

In the interior, are four large cabins below decks as well as a comfortable crew area. On the main deck, in addition to the salon, we find the bow area completely dedicated to the owner, with a gym, massage room, sauna, Turkish bath, cabin and large bathroom with a dressing room.

The layout of this area is designed so that the owner can offer his guests the use of the spa area without losing his own privacy.

The bridge deck offers a sky lounge that opens to the stern onto the large swimming pool. To the bow, there is the bridge with a captain’s cabin.

From a technical point of view, the hull is state of the art. It is the result of team work with the Krilov Institute of St. Petersburg which used advanced CFD methods and a series of tank tests. The result is a hull that offers a maximum speed of more than 15 knots and an extended cruising range at lower power.

Stabilisation is from two pairs of electric stabilisers that work when the yacht is at anchor. Propulsion is from twin propellers of large diameter and high performance.
