The 2026 event follows a successful second edition. According to the organisers, more than 27,000 visitors from 105 countries attended in 2025, when 65 boats and watercraft with a combined value of QR880 million were showcased. Exhibitor participation increased by 25% compared with the inaugural show.

Yachting meets culture on Doha’s waterfront

Under the theme “Crafting Wonderful”, Qatar Boat Show 2026 will extend beyond the yacht displays, with organisers outlining a programme featuring live performances, fireworks and drone shows, complemented by waterfront cafés and fine dining.

Old Doha Port provides a distinctive setting. Once central to Qatar’s pearl-diving and fishing industries, it is now home to a 450-berth marina, the colourful Mina District and cultural spaces connecting the city’s maritime heritage with contemporary waterfront life.
