The first boat show organised at Old Doha Port for high-end yachts is a must-attend event for Benetti, which will be taking part in the Qatar Boat Show from November 6 to 9. In the brand’s lounge at stand EQP016, Benetti will showcase the history, new developments and goals of the Shipyard that builds and markets composite yachts from 34 to 44 metres and aluminium and steel yachts from 37 to over 100 metres.

This eagerly awaited international show confirms the growing importance of the region not only as an ideal destination for superyacht cruises and the main tourist attraction in the Middle East, but also as the home of an ever-increasing number of owners seeking boats featuring high-quality Italian craftsmanship. Qatar has a total of about 1,877 yacht berths, of which 108 for boats between 40 and 160 metres, while consumer spending power is forecast to rise to between 73 and 90 billion dollars by the end of 2029.
