Egypt is preparing for a standout event in the maritime calendar—the 7th Egypt International Boat Show! Scheduled from February 6–9, 2025, at the Cairo International Convention Center, this prestigious event is not just an exhibition but a celebration of luxury, innovation, and nautical excellence. With a lineup of over 120 top-tier international and local brands, an exclusive guest list featuring global industry leaders, and an unmatched showcase of boats, yachts, and marine technology, this year’s edition is set to be a game-changer. The event is poised to solidify Egypt’s position as a global yachting event hub, bolstered by significant government and private sector support, a powerhouse media campaign, and a roster of elite sponsors and partners. Whether you’re a maritime enthusiast, investor, or simply someone with a passion for luxury on the water, this is the event of 2025 you can’t afford to miss.
The Egypt International Boat and Yacht Show has a rich history that dates back to 2007 when it was first launched by Mr. Ahmed Allam, Chairman of Art Line for Organizing International Exhibitions and Conferences, and Mr. Amr Selim, publisher of Sports & Fitness and He Magazine. As the visionary founders of the event, they aimed to establish a world-class exhibition that would showcase Egypt’s growing maritime industry and connect it to the global yachting market. For five consecutive years, the show flourished, attracting top-tier exhibitors, industry leaders, and yachting enthusiasts. However, due to the 2011 revolution, the event was put on hold, leaving a gap in the region’s luxury boating scene. After over a decade, the show made a spectacular comeback in the summer of 2024, reflecting the revival of Egypt’s yacht and boat market. Held on water and land, the event’s return was a resounding success, paving the way for an even grander 7th edition in 2025. With global recognition in its sights, the Egyptian Boat Show is set to position Egypt as a key player in the international yachting industry, ensuring that the event continues to evolve into a prestigious global exhibition.
The decision to host the Boat and Yacht Show in Cairo during the winter is a strategic move aimed at maximizing accessibility and expanding the event’s reach. Cairo provides a central and well-connected location that allows more visitors, industry professionals, and potential buyers to attend. Hosting the event in the capital ensures that a wider audience, including investors, boating enthusiasts, and first-time buyers, can explore the latest in the maritime industry without having to travel far. Additionally, the timing in February gives attendees the perfect opportunity to plan ahead for the summer yachting season, making informed purchasing decisions well before peak sailing months begin. This approach not only increases business opportunities for exhibitors but also reinforces Egypt’s ambition to become a global hub for yachting and marine tourism.
The show promises an unparalleled showcase of maritime excellence, bringing together over 120 international and local brands under one roof. Attendees can expect to see a stunning array of boats and yachts, ranging from sleek speedboats to ultra-luxurious superyachts, alongside cutting-edge marine technology, accessories, diving, and water sports equipment. The exhibition will feature top-tier exhibitors, including leading yacht manufacturers, marine service providers, and lifestyle brands, offering exclusive deals, discounts, and flexible financing options for potential buyers.
The event is receiving unprecedented support from the Egyptian government, underscoring its importance in positioning Egypt as a global maritime hub. The event is held under the patronage and support of key governmental bodies, including the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Industry, the Tourism Promotion Authority, the Suez Canal Authority, and EgyptAir, all of which recognize the show’s potential to boost yacht tourism and marine trade. With Egypt’s renewed focus on developing its ports, offering incentives for yacht tourism, and modernizing its maritime infrastructure, the exhibition aligns perfectly with the country’s long-term economic and tourism strategies. The active involvement of senior state officials, key public figures, and dignitaries at the opening ceremony further emphasizes the government’s commitment to expanding Egypt’s presence in the international boating industry, making this year’s edition a milestone in the nation’s maritime ambitions.
The 7th Egypt International Boat and Yacht Show is made possible through the collective efforts of prestigious partners and sponsors who have come together to elevate this event to an unparalleled level of excellence.
