QATAR BOAT SHOW WINS FOUR INTERNATIONAL AWARDS AT EVENTEX 2026
Qatar Boat Show 2025 has won four awards at the Eventex Awards 2026, one of the most recognized accolades in the global events industry.
The event received a Silver award in the Middle Eastern Event category, alongside Bronze awards in Outdoor Event, Trade Show, and Consumer Show.
Entries came from over 60 countries, judged by more than 200 independent industry experts across 40 nations. Four wins across four categories, spanning the trade floor, the consumer experience, the outdoor execution, and the event’s regional standing, reflects the full scope of what Qatar Boat Show delivered under its 2025 platform, Beyond the First Horizon.
The Silver in Middle Eastern Event places Doha firmly on the map as a premium Gulf marine destination. Old Doha Port is now internationally recognised as a venue for large-scale marine and lifestyle events of the highest order.
The scale of the show tells its own story. Over 505 brands and 65 boats and marine vessels from 105 countries, more than 27,000 visitors, and a combined vessel value of QAR 880 million across four days. Exhibitor numbers grew by 25 percent from the first edition to the second, alongside a programme that spanned nightly fireworks and drone performances, the Oshar Art Gallery, water shuttle services from The Pearl and Rixos, and family activations across Mina Park.
Qatar Boat Show 2026 returns to Old Doha Port from 4 to 7 November. The third edition arrives under a new campaign, Crafting Wonderful, and the standard that earned four international awards in two editions will only rise.
