Qatar Boat Show to be held in November

Doha, Qatar: Old Doha Port announces the time for the Qatar Boat Show 2025, which is set to take place from November 5 to 8. 

This event will transform the iconic harbour into a hub of luxury, innovation, and maritime heritage, building on the resounding success of the inaugural edition in 2024. 

The Qatar Boat Show 2024 set new benchmarks in the maritime industry. 

The event attracted over 23,500 visitors from more than 90 countries and featured 495 brands. 

Spread across an impressive space exceeding 250,000 square meters at Old Doha Port, the show brought together exhibitors from 11 countries showcasing their innovations. 

A total of 74 boats were showcased, with Qatar’s pristine waters hosting the world launches of 20 boats and welcoming 22 boats for their first appearance in the country. Based on the surveys conducted during the exhibition and after the inaugural edition, 64% of trade visitors and maritime specialists and 82.3% of all visitors expressed intent to return next year. 

The exhibition cemented Qatar’s status as a global leader in maritime innovation and luxury. 

“We are immensely proud of what we achieved with the inaugural Qatar Boat Show 2024,” said Mohamed Abdulla Al Mulla, Chairman of the Organising Committee and Chief Executive Officer of Old Doha Port. 

“This year, we are raising the bar further. With an expanded lineup of marine brands, enhanced entertainment, and cutting-edge innovations, the 2025 show will create even more engaging and unforgettable experiences.” 

The event featured a floating cafe, live jet ski stunts, fireworks, dancing fountains, night stand-up paddle sessions, and fishing competitions, providing entertainment alongside business opportunities. 

Exclusive events, such as the World of Yachts Conference, the Ministry of Transport Conference, and networking sessions for business councils and hospitality partners, added valuable networking opportunities. 

The Qatar Boat Show 2025 promises to further elevate this legacy. Attendees can look forward to an unparalleled experience at Qatar’s premier marina, which boasts over 450 berths, Qatar’s largest superyacht dock, and state-of-the-art marine facilities. 

As a cornerstone of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and a supporter of domestic and international tourism, Old Doha Port will continue to champion sustainable practices and enrich the cultural and economic landscape of Qatar.
