Doha is gearing up to spotlight the luxury yachting lifestyle with the Qatar Boat Show, from the 6th to 9th November 2024. This prestigious event, a collaborative effort between Old Doha Port and Gulf Marine Services LLC, is expected to draw more than 20,000 visitors, including local, regional, and international yachting brands, shipyards, boat owners, and enthusiasts.
In line with Qatar’s Vision 2030, the Qatar Boat Show aims to boost economic growth and tourism by highlighting the best in marine innovation and luxury. The event will feature 495 exhibitors and brands, showcasing 95 boats and watercraft both on land and in the water, making it the largest and most anticipated boat show in Qatar’s history.
The excitement was palpable at the launch event on the 5th of March, where international giants such as Feadship, Benetti, and Oceanco were represented. Mohammad Al Mulla, chief executive officer of Old Doha Port, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “The Qatar Boat Show 2024 is a strategic milestone that aligns with the long-term vision of Old Doha Port and our nation. It is a testament to our efforts and the fruitful collaboration between various stakeholders to drive economic growth and enhance our country’s tourism appeal.

Steven Kane, market development manager for Yachting Pages, added, “We are very proud to be associated with this incredible event and will strive to represent and promote the Qatar Boat Show in the best way possible to our international audience.”
Old Doha Port, once a historic commercial hub, has transformed into a vibrant tourist destination that blends sustainability and creativity. The port now features a world-class marina capable of accommodating yachts up to 160 metres (525 feet), the colourful Mina District, one of the world’s most stunning cruise terminals, the nation’s largest slipway, and over 200,000 square metres of greenery. Its central location in Doha, close to landmarks like Doha Corniche and Souq Waqif, makes it an ideal venue for such a grand event.
The Qatar Boat Show 2024 promises to be a landmark event, uniting the global maritime community in the heart of Qatar and offering a spectacular display of luxury yachting and marine innovation.
