From 4 to 7 November 2026, Qatar Boat Show will return to Old Doha Port for its third edition, bringing international yacht builders, marine brands, industry professionals and visitors together in Doha. Held under the patronage of H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, the event opens the Gulf’s boat show season and reflects Qatar’s growing role in maritime tourism and the luxury marine industry.
From international yacht builders to new marine technology
This year’s show will bring a mix of yachts, boats, marine equipment and technology to the waterfront. Confirmed exhibitors include Sunreef Yachts, Gulf Craft, Elite Yachts representing Azimut, Milaha, Romeo Marine, Fulk Yachts, Jenan Marine and Revamp Marine Equipment Doha, with further names expected to be announced ahead of November.
World and regional premieres, product launches and developments in marine technology will form part of the programme, alongside opportunities for networking and business development across the international maritime community.
The scale of last year’s edition offers some perspective on the event’s growth. Qatar Boat Show 2025 welcomed more than 27,000 visitors from 105 countries and presented 65 boats and watercraft with a combined value of QAR 880 million. Exhibitor participation increased by 25%, while 40% of the vessels on display were making their Qatar debut.
Beyond the marina
Qatar Boat Show is designed around more than the vessels on display. The programme extends across the waterfront with culture, art, hospitality and entertainment, including dining, live performances, fireworks and drone shows. The 2026 campaign, “Crafting Wonderful”, draws on this combination of marine craftsmanship, business and the experience of Old Doha Port itself.
The setting is an important part of that experience. Once a centre of Qatar’s pearl-diving and fishing heritage, Old Doha Port has developed into a contemporary waterfront destination with a 450-berth marina, cruise terminal, cultural spaces and marine facilities.
