Post by : Bianca Suleiman

Dubai’s 11th Pre-Owned Boat Show, run by Viya Marine — a subsidiary of Dubai Golf — concluded this week with notable attendance and significant sales. Over the three-day exhibition, more than 5,000 visitors, including marine enthusiasts, investors and potential yacht purchasers, underscored Dubai’s expanding influence in regional leisure boating.

Under the theme “A Boat for Everyone,” the event brought together in excess of 50 local, regional and international exhibitors and presented 64 boats and yachts, representing a roughly 20 percent uplift from last year. The line-up spanned premium superyachts to affordable speedboats, catering to diverse buyer profiles and budgets.

Highlight pieces included the ultra-rare Riva Gucci — one of just ten ever made and priced at AED 3 million — alongside the eco-conscious Greenline 40 Hybrid, which uses solar-assisted propulsion. The Italian-built Riva 82 Diva (2024) led the luxury segment at AED 30 million, while a US-made Chaparral listed at AED 68,000 illustrated the show’s accessibility for first-time buyers.

Robust footfall and active deal-making pointed to sustained confidence from regional and international purchasers in Dubai’s marine and luxury investment market. The Pre-Owned Boat Show continues to reinforce Dubai’s position as a strategic hub for marine leisure and lifestyle activity across the region.
