How to attend
General-admission tickets are sold online at boatshowdubai.com and are inexpensive by Dubai standards; marine trade professionals can register for free B2B access instead.

Boarding most vessels is open to general visitors, though the largest superyachts are viewed by appointment through their brokers.
Insider tip
Doors open at 15:00 and run into the evening, with the longest hours on Friday and Saturday - go late, when the superyacht decks are lit and the marina is at its best.
