Second edition of the show returns to Old Doha Port from 5–8 November 2025 with government entities and global maritime companies onboard held under the patronage of Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs
The Organising Committee of the Qatar Boat Show has announced its roster of official partners for the event’s second edition, set to take place at Old Doha Port from November 5 to 8, 2025.
The announcement came on Monday during a press conference at The Terminal, where organisers reiterated the Boat Show’s growing role in establishing Qatar as a regional and global hub for maritime luxury, innovation, and trade.
Speaking at the event, Mohamed Abdulla Al Mulla, Chairman of the Organising Committee and CEO of Old Doha Port, said the upcoming edition would build on the success of the inaugural show in 2024, which he described as “a remarkable success”.
“From its very first edition, the Qatar Boat Show made history, becoming one of the largest luxury marine showcases in the Middle East,” Al Mulla said.
He added that last year’s show hosted 495 international brands, displayed over 100 yachts and marine vessels, and featured 20 world premieres alongside 22 Qatar debuts. More than 23,500 visitors from 90 countries attended the event, positioning Qatar as a destination for maritime excellence.
Organisers said the 2025 edition would raise the bar even higher, supported by the commitment of its newly signed official partners.
This year’s Qatar Boat Show will bring together a powerful line-up of public and private sector partners, underlining the event’s growing role in the region’s maritime and tourism ecosystem.
The Ministry of Transport joins as Strategic Partner, alongside the Ministry of Commerce and Industry as Supporting Partner, and Visit Qatar as Destination Partner.
Mwani Qatar has signed on as Platinum Sponsor, with QTerminals as Gold Sponsor, and Al Kass Sports Channel as Strategic Media Partner.
Ooredoo has been confirmed as Exclusive Telecom Sponsor, while Qatar Free Zones Authority joins as Bronze Sponsor, and Qetaifan Projects takes the role of Real Estate and Hospitality Partner.
Additional sponsors include Falcon Gold and Precious Metals as Official VIP Lounge Sponsor, Mjhar as News Partner, and Mowasalat (Karwa) as Transport Partner.
“Each partner contributes more than just a name,” said Mohamed Abdulla Al Mulla, Chairman of the Organising Committee and CEO of Old Doha Port. “They bring vision, dedication, and expertise. Together, they enable us to deliver an event that honours our heritage, strengthens Qatar’s position as a hub for tourism and trade, and showcases the vibrant spirit of our nation to the world.”
The 2025 edition will offer an expanded showcase of some of the world’s most prestigious yacht builders, cutting-edge marine technologies, lifestyle activations, and a series of global and regional launches.
Set against the backdrop of Old Doha Port’s transformation into a modern maritime destination — blending world-class marina facilities with a historic waterfront setting — the show will serve as a platform for business, networking, and cultural exchange.
The event remains aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030, supporting economic diversification, tourism development, and the growth of the marine sector.
By convening global industry leaders, investors, innovators, and enthusiasts, the Qatar Boat Show highlights the country’s dual identity: as a guardian of maritime tradition and a forward-looking player in shaping the future of the global boating industry.
