Dubai International Boat Show

First of Parking is a nightmare. It will be a 30 minutes walk unless you want to pay 100Aed for vip parking. It is still a walk on the road as they have covered the payments into their stalls. Also there is no family package entrance fee. The website does not mention kids are free.

Parking is a nightmare & security isn't much helpful at all. No drop off area also & All parking areas are blocked & empty during the show.

Really didn't enjoy it at all

The show was nice. I have a major complaint and don't know how to write the management. As we were walking on the path to the entrance of the show, there were many golf carts bringing people to and from the entrance. The drivers were coming very close to pedestrians, and when 2 golf carts approached each other, they both kept to the left, as they do in Pakistan and India. For this reason it seems as though they did not hire licensed drivers to provide golf cart transport at the show.

The only 5 star in Umm Al Quwain. Built by EMAAR. Lovely beach, infinity pool, nice dining. Day pass affordable for working class people like me

Staff here know nothing and I really mean nothing! No one can tell where to find certain companies. It is unbelievable how bad it is. The map is horrible and not even the staff know how to read it. For business purposes is a waste of time, unless u know exactly where to find the company u want to deal with. For wasting time and showing off, it is the perfect place. I didn’t feel welcome at this event. The only smart staff I met was Mr. Schema from Rwanda (traffic Marshall).

Treffpunkt der Schönen und Reichen. Tolle Boote, aber sehr teure. Habe mir eine Yacht für 22 Millionen Dollar angeschaut.

It takes more than one hour to reach the VIP parking and still it’s far away from the boat show entrance. Leaving is another disaster

Venue was lacking in air conditioning and the music was extremely loud. Other than that it was good.

Bad experience!
Was there to buy a boat.
Huge traffic to cross the tram line
Parking lots too small and full
Walk 15 min to reach entrance
So 1h30 total from home
Then.hugly people, untrained staff
Not in the mood to buy a boat anymore

Nice show about yachts, boats and equipment. Not much about water sports equipment, such as surfing and diving.

The show was not big, only took me half day to walk over all the booths.

Terrible organizers. Exhibitors are treated very poorly. Security guards are manipulative. I had the worst experience with the organizing team when I exhibited with them. They are highly unprofessional.
