Dubai, United Arab Emirates – The activities of the eleventh session of the “Used Boat Show in Dubai”, organized by Via Marine, a subsidiary of Dubai Golf, concluded on Tuesday evening at Dubai Creek Marina.
It has achieved remarkable success in terms of demand and sales.
Over the course of three days, the exhibition attracted more than 5,000 visitors, including sea lovers, investors, and those interested in acquiring luxury boats and yachts.
