THE MIDDLE EAST: THE WORLD’S
MOST CONCENTRATED AREA
OF MARINA DEVELOPMENTS
Boats and Yachts in Lebanon
Known for its strategic location in the Mediterranean
basin, its mild weather, state-of-the-art facilities and
attractive touristic sites, Lebanon has turned into
a regional yachting hub where Arab, European and
American boat owners can enjoy boating activities all
year round.
Boats and Yachts in the
Middle East
With over 100 marina developments involving 5,000
berths under construction or underway, the Middle
East has become the most concentrated area of
marina development worldwide.
Buyers of leisure boats are emerging from all over
the world; from wealthy nationals and expatriates
constantly looking for bigger, better and more
advanced boats, to middle-class businessmen
eager to own a boat that matches their dream
specifications and budgets.
►
28 out of the top 100 largest super yachts are
owned by Middle Eastern customers

7 out of the top 10 super yachts in the world

Recently, the capital, Beirut, has witnessed the opening
of its own fully-renovated marina, which has emerged as
a major docking bay in the Mediterranean Sea.

Last year, IFP Group and Messe Dusseldorf decided to
postpone the 9th edition of Beirut Boat, which was initially
scheduled for May 2013, to May 2014. The event will be taking
place at its new official venue, the Port of Beirut, Pier 1,
from 14 to 18 May.

During the event, IFP Group and Messe Dusseldorf will
transform the port into a lavish location in response to the
luxury and exclusivity required for the Beirut Boat Show.
The venue is ideally located in Beirut’s trendy Downtown
area, minutes away from the city’s most renowned
5 star accommodations. Transportation is therefore
more convenient, in addition to numerous parking spaces
on location.
With a year-on-year success story, the show has scored a
15% growth in water surface with international brand names
registering to showcase their vessels. An increase in land
surface was also registered as key players in up-scale real
estate development, hospitality and luxury retail partook in
the event, adding glamour and elegance to Beirut Boat.
In light of the growing popularity of yachting and water
sports, Beirut Boat 2014 is expected to attract more than
28,000 visitors, including local, regional and international
high net worth buyers. Enjoy evenings out by the sea while
meeting thousands of VIP’s.
As the only show of its kind in Lebanon, Beirut Boat
brings you a unique opportunity to attain record business
sales in a select and relaxed environment at one of the
region’s most acclaimed boating shows. This is your one-off
chance to meet international buyers and make multi-million
dollar business deals.
With its high-caliber program of daily activities, the 9th
International Boat & Super Yacht Show will entice all your
senses: achieve impressive business results while relaxing by
the sea with a refreshing drink in hand and surrounded by the
most extravagant and enjoyable of marine activities.
