THE Middle East’s first and only used boat show has been officially announced by organiser Dubai Creek Marina to take place over three days from November 4 to 6.
The event has been created to offer genuine value and choice to existing yachting enthusiasts as well as encouraging more people to get out onto the water with friends and family.
Mustafa Al Hashimi, cub manager of Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, said: “Driven by growing demand and interest from boat owners, the Dubai Used Boat Show is a response to an enormous gap in the market, bringing buyers and sellers directly together. Currently there is no event like it in the UAE.
“Any marine retailer or boat owner interested in trading up or down should make use of this ideal opportunity to showcase their vessels and equipment to the local yachting community at very affordable rates in the heart of Dubai.”
Combining great deals on more than 40 used vessels of all sizes from world renowned manufacturers, alongside leading marine traders covering finance, insurance, accessories, maintenance services and supplies, the Dubai Used Boat Show will offer everything an aspiring or current boat owner could possibly need in one convenient location.
Al Hashimi, continued: “The Dubai Used Boat Show is a celebration of life on the water with the aim of making yachting and marine leisure more accessible. Whether only starting out or an experienced yachtsman, this is the perfect and only occasion to consider options on the used market and learn more by speaking to the local experts.
“Getting out onto the water is a very simple pleasure, yet currently yachting in the Middle East has an ultra exclusive image of superyachts affordable only to the few. However, enjoying the beautiful waters off the UAE’s coast does not need to be out of reach, there are affordable options as the Used Boat Show will clearly highlight.”
Open and free of charge to the public with children welcome, the Dubai Used Boat Show will be hosted at the award winning marina at Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club.
