Sponsored: Head down to the Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Show next weekend (bonus: it’s FREE entry)… 

If you’re a boat owner looking to make some quick cash, or if you’ve always dreamed of owning your own vessel, then you should definitely check out the Dubai Pre-Owned Boat Boat Show.

Dubai Creek Marina at Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club is set to host the event for the ninth consecutive year. The show will take place from Thursday November 8 to Saturday November 10, with free entry for all.

What can you expect? As well as checking out all the boats for sale, you can also enjoy the Dubai Lobster Fest which takes place alongside the show. You can tuck into delicious lobster dishes from just Dhs55. The event is also licensed, with a selection of beers, wines and cocktails available from Dhs40.

There will be plenty of family-friendly activities, such as a free kids zone with games, arts & crafts, face painting and bouncy castles, as well as live entertainment throughout the weekend.

You can also catch dragon boat races on Friday, and stand-up paddle races on Saturday.

Feeling extra competitive? Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club is also teaming up with Inflatathon to bring a mini version of the inflatable obstacle course to the Boat Show. Whoever completes the course with the fastest time will be in to win two return economy flights to anywhere in the world. You’ll also go in the draw if you spend more than Dhs100 at the Lobster Fest.

See you there – we’ll be the ones hanging out by the lobster counter…
