Hamdan bin Mohammed opens Dubai International Boat Show 2022

His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, today opened the Dubai International Boat Show 2022.

Speaking at the opening event, His Highness said the event is one of the world’s top three most influential international yacht shows, which reflects Dubai’s status as a prominent global maritime destination. His Highness further said the rapid development of Dubai’s maritime infrastructure reflects the vision of the emirate’s leadership to ensure the highest standards of global excellence and transform Dubai into an influential player in major international industries.

HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed toured the five-day event’s new venue at Dubai Harbour accompanied by His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council, and Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, Executive Director of the Dubai Maritime City Authority.

Featuring more than 800 brands, the 28th edition of the Middle East’s nautical showpiece, which is reuniting the industry after a sustained period apart, is set to have a positive impact on growth and investment in the global maritime sector. It also promises to demonstrate Dubai Harbour’s capabilities as a dedicated superyacht marina and strengthen the emirate’s reputation as a world-class maritime destination.

HH Sheikh Hamdan was also accompanied by His Excellency Helal Saeed Al Marri, Director General of Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism and Dubai World Trade Centre Authority, His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, and a number of senior officials.

The Crown Prince and his entourage visited several local boat builders, including Gulf Craft, who marked the event’s opening day by launching two new yachts, and various global heavyweights, including Ferretti and Sanlorenzo. HH Sheikh Hamdan also stopped by the Dubai Maritime City Authority’s stand, where he was briefed about the company’s services and initiatives.

The Crown Prince also explored the annual show’s expansive dive area. This year’s zone features a demonstrative dive pool, an engaging schedule of dive talks – including sessions on underwater cinematography and wreck discoveries – and the DIVE MENA Expo, where visitors can purchase some of the most innovative products on the market.
