The DIBS has once again confirmed its status as a flagship event in the global yachting industry. With new launches, major transactions, and the growing prominence of the pre-owned yacht market, this edition highlighted the trends that are reshaping the industry.
Date: 19 - 23 February 2025
Location: Dubai
This year, the show brought together buyers, experts, and key industry players at Dubai Harbour, showcasing an impressive selection of brand-new superyachts and impeccably refurbished pre-owned yachts. Demand for the latter has surged, with many buyers favoring pre-owned units with a flawless refit history. Unlike new yachts, which can take several years to build, these immediately available vessels perfectly meet the expectations of owners eager to set sail without delay.
Spectacular Launches and an Immersive Experience
More than 60 countries were represented, offering a unique blend of international innovation and local expertise. The DIBS 2025 also showcased major advancements in maritime security, new technologies, and emerging yachting trends.
The show was marked by key events, including the world premiere of the Sunreef Ultima 55, a revolutionary catamaran combining luxury and eco-friendly performance, and the highly anticipated Lamborghini 63, a sporty yacht inspired by the brand’s iconic supercars. These innovations drew an audience of enthusiasts and industry experts, emphasizing the continuous evolution of luxury yachting.
