Ahead of the 2018 UAE Maritime Week, the organisers of the annual Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show have announced the return of its ninth instalment, taking place from the 8th<\/sup> \u2013 10th<\/sup> November 2018 at the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club.<\/p>\n

The Middle East is a key marketplace for super yachts, with 205 high-end vessels over 40 metres in length reportedly registered in the region.\u00a0 The UAE is also a hub for maritime commerce, forecast by Oxford Business Group to be worth $66bn by the end of 2018.<\/p>\n

Abdulla Ali Al Noon, Club Manager at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club, says: \u201cWe are proud to present yet another Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show to GCC residents and visitors to the UAE.\u00a0 Globally, the yachting industry is expected to be valued at US74.2bn by 2022, which shows a continuous upward trajectory of the industry, and thus a need for events of this nature.\u00a0 Last year we welcomed a record number of visitors over the three-day event, and this year we aim to take the Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show to the new heights \u2013 offering quality vessels at affordable prices, and an enjoyable weekend event for both prospective buyers and families.\u201d<\/p>\n

Following the successful Dubai International Boat Show in February, and the inaugural edition of the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show in October, the maritime needs of the region\u2019s locals and residents continue to increase.\u00a0 Coupled with these events are various development plans in the region – including the Dubai Harbour mega project that will introduce 1,400 additional berths; and Dubai Properties\u2019 AED 1 billion development of five marinas, over a 7.4km stretch along the Dubai Water Canal, which is set to provide 1,250 berths for boat owners to dock at. \u00a0These efforts are poised to reinforce the country\u2019s position as a leading maritime destination, which currently sits at 10th globally, and fifth in terms of attractiveness and competitiveness.<\/p>\n

The 2018 Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show will have over 25 exhibitors, including Bush & Noble and Gulf Craft displaying some of its most luxurious vessels.\u00a0 Also included in this year\u2019s show is event partner, Xclusive Boat Club, which was recently launched in September 2018 as a division of award-winning yacht rental company, Xclusive Yachts.<\/p>\n

Wayne Munro, Boat Club Manager of Xclusive Boat Club, says: \u201cThe pre-owned boat show is an important event for us because the majority of our clients are people who have either owned a boat or are looking to get into boating by purchasing a pre-owned boat. We find that the people who attend are the perfect demographic for our product, giving them the option to enjoy boating without the headache that comes with owning one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Commenting on the future of the marine industry in the region, Munro says: \u201cThe biggest development for us is the addition of new marinas, which illustrates the high demand.\u00a0 We hope that this reduces berthing fees in the region and, in turn, makes boating more affordable. The introduction of the FTA regulation will also have a big impact, making boating in all UAE waters much safer, along with a greater impact on the environment as a result of certain rules and regulations in place. \u201d<\/p>\n

The 2018 Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show takes place from Thursday, 8th<\/sup> November until Saturday, 10th<\/sup> November.\u00a0 It is open from 2pm to 9pm on the Thursday, and from 12pm to 9pm on the Friday, and Saturday 12pm to 8pm on the Sunday.<\/p>\n
