Abu Dhabi International Boat Show open for registrations

The event will run from 13 to 16 October.

It’s time to grab your boat shoes and sailors cap, as one the biggest boat shows in the Middle East is docking in Abu Dhabi.

The Abu Dhabi International Boat Show (ADIBS) is now open for registration for all exhibitors and visitors.

Running from 13 to 16 October at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) and ADNEC Marina, the prestigious show is jam packed full of interesting and exciting activities to explore

Want to live on water?

ADIBS provides visitors an ideal opportunity to meet with regional specialists and builders of the biggest houseboats in Abu Dhabi so you can find your perfect home on the water.

But if you’re looking to upgrade your current yacht, you can browse through the newest navigation equipment, top-of-the-range outboard engines and more on your visit to ADNEC Marina.

Boat shopping can build up a healthy appetite and ADIBS will be filling bellies with bites from the sea at its Fishmarket live cookery demonstration. Manning the kitchen will be Chef Manish Law, who will be showcasing some of his signature dishes as well as revealing some of best tips and tricks to cooking the ultimate seafood dish.

When you have stopped the rumbles from the stomach, catch the Flyboarding Championship where the pros will master water and gravity at the same time as they dive, loop and soar in front of the crowds.

Fishing equipment will also play a major part in the event with the chance to meet local and regional fishing companies and to buy the latest in fishing equipment.

Not wowed by water?

There are plenty of land of activities for visitors with which to get involved including the Desert Shield Arena where you can tackle the OCR challenges and competitions, and practicing your golf swing at Saadiyat Beach Golf Club where you will be driving balls made of fish food into the water.
