The second edition of the Qatar Boat Show (QBS), under the patronage of HE the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohamed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim al-Thani, will take place at Old Doha Port from November 5-8.
The signing ceremony with the partners took place during a press conference yesterday (Monday) at The Terminal, Old Doha Port, with the organisers reaffirming the event's role in positioning Qatar as a global hub for maritime luxury, innovation, and trade.
“From its very first edition, the Qatar Boat Show made history, becoming one of the largest luxury marine showcases in the Middle East,” said engineer Mohamed Abdulla al-Mulla, chairman of the QBS 2025 organising committee and CEO of Old Doha Port.
“Last year, the inaugural edition proved to be a remarkable success as we welcomed 495 leading international brands, showcased over 100 yachts and marine vessels, and unveiled 20 world premieres and 22 debuts in Qatar. With more than 23,500 visitors from 90 countries, the event firmly positioned Qatar as a destination for maritime excellence.”
This year’s line-up includes the Ministry of Transport as strategic partner; the Ministry of Commerce and Industry as supporting partner; Visit Qatar as destination partner; Mwani Qatar as platinum sponsor; Qterminal as gold sponsor; and Al Kass Sports Channel as strategic media partner.
Ooredoo joins as the exclusive telecom sponsor, the Qatar Free Zone as the bronze sponsor, and Qetaifan Projects as real estate and hospitality partner. Falcon Gold and Precious Metals will be present as the official VIP lounge sponsor, Mjhar as the news partner, and Mowasalat (Karwa) as the transport partner.
Visitors to the Qatar Boat Show 2025 can expect an expanded showcase featuring some of the world’s most prestigious yacht builders, innovative marine technologies, lifestyle experiences, and a line-up of launches and premieres. With Old Doha Port’s transformation into a modern maritime destination–blending world-class marina facilities with a historic waterfront setting–the event will once again serve as a platform for business, networking, and cultural exchange.
