Now in its 32nd edition, the region’s premier marine event brings together international shipyards, luxury brands and lifestyle enthusiasts for five days of ocean-inspired elegance.

Following a record-breaking 2025 edition that welcomed more than 30,000 visitors and 1,000 brands, DIBS 2026 will raise the bar even higher – combining luxury, innovation and sustainability in one unforgettable setting.
