Qatar Boat Show
Date: 4 November 2026 – 7 November 2026
Location: Old Doha Port, Doha, Qatar
The Qatar Boat Show runs 4-7 November 2026 at Old Doha Port, the third edition of a show that has grown quickly since its launch. The setting does a lot of the work: Old Doha Port is Doha's redeveloped waterfront harbour, so much of the display sits in the water rather than in exhibition halls. Exhibitors range from international superyacht builders to regional dealers, alongside brands covering marine sports, diving and fishing equipment. The 2026 edition carries the slogan 'Crafting Wonderful', and the show picked up four prizes at the 2026 Eventex Awards, unusual recognition for a boat show this young. The mix leans toward luxury: large yachts, high-end lifestyle products and buyers from across the Gulf region. For visitors, the port location means the show doubles as a waterfront day out, with the old harbour district and its cobbled streets wrapped around the exhibition. Expect the in-water fleet to be the main event.
