Ian Jones, sales manager at the world’s leading superyacht directory Yachting Pages, said, “Dubai is the hub of superyacht activity and business for the entire region. Many important relationships and deals will be forged over the five days of the show, and we’ll be at the heart of it.

“Representatives for Yachting Pages and our prestige product, the hard-back Superyacht Owners’ Guide (SYOG) will be found in the Media Lounge in the Luxury Supplies and Services sector, and we can’t wait to meet our valued clients again and to make some new partnerships.”

Turkey is putting itself firmly on the global superyacht map this year with exhibitors including Miss Tor Yacht, ECI Yacht, Gora Yacht, Kaiserwerft and Safter Marine.

Francis Carter, senior account manager at Yachting Pages, is very aware of Turkey’s rising star. He said, “Turkey is a hotbed of superyacht innovation, design and build at the moment, proving themselves amply capable of building incredible vessels to the same standards you’d expect from Italy or Germany. They’re the ones to watch.”

Running for over 20 years, the Dubai show brings together over 5,000 ultra-high net worth individuals (UHNWIs) with world-classs producers and service providers from across the superyacht spectrum.

Over 26,000 of the Middle East’s marine investors and enthusiasts are expected to attend this dynamic and award-winning show, drawn by highlights such as 33 world premieres.

Offering the luxury brands and exhibitors present the chance to leverage almost £5million in PR and advertising coverage, Dubai reigns supreme as one of the world’s top five boat shows with sectors for superyacht buyers, luxury car enthusiasts, diving professionals and marine lovers.
