The ADNEC Group has confirmed the return of the Abu Dhabi International Boat Show for its eighth edition, scheduled for November 19 to 22, 2026, at Marina Hall in Abu Dhabi.
This year's ADIBS will adopt a fresh format, attracting premier global marine brands to unveil the latest in luxury yachts and cutting-edge marine technologies.
Taking place at the onset of the Gulf’s marine season, this event presents a lucrative opportunity for exhibitors. It enables companies to engage with serious purchasers when demand peaks and key buying decisions are on the horizon.
Attendees will benefit from on-water trials, allowing them to test boats under realistic conditions. The event will also host immersive experiences and the much-anticipated return of the Charter Show, where businesses can present luxury yachts and charter services to interested clients.
ADIBS remains a vital stage for the regional leisure marine sector. It draws high-net-worth individuals, industry leaders, and professionals, thereby serving as a key venue for partnerships, deals, and product launches.
The 2026 event will reintroduce the region’s exclusive Charter Show segment, featuring a hospitality lounge and offerings from renowned charter and brokerage firms worldwide.
As one of the largest marine exhibitions, ADIBS showcases a comprehensive range of the industry—from superyachts to marine equipment. Bolstered by strong government backing and a proven history, it creates valuable opportunities for both participants and attendees at the peak of the busy marine season.
