Doha, Qatar: With preparations in full swing, Old Doha Port is set to welcome Qatar’s first-ever Mina Pre-Owned Boat Show — a groundbreaking event dedicated to the resale of boats and sea vessels. Taking place from May 5 to 7, the show will welcome marine enthusiasts, first-time buyers, and seasoned boaters to explore a curated selection of pre-owned watercrafts — from jet skis and fishing boats to yachts, superyachts, and traditional dhows.
In a continued effort to support Qatar’s maritime community, Old Doha Port is offering boat owners the opportunity to display their vessels free of charge, with free public entry for all visitors.
On-site maintenance workshops and inspection services will also be available at competitive prices, creating a seamless and supportive environment for both sellers and buyers. Through initiatives like this, Old Doha Port reaffirms its commitment to nurturing and strengthening the local maritime industry.
Fueling excitement and great turnout for the event, more than 40 marine vessels have already registered, highlighting the strong momentum among sellers and buyers alike. The Mina Corniche will come alive as a dynamic open-air marketplace, bringing together commercial energy and community engagement — a true reflection of Old Doha Port’s rising status as a tourist and economic landmark.
Boat owners and marine companies interested in showcasing their pre-owned vessels are encouraged to register by calling +974 5567 7614. Whether upgrading, downsizing, or exiting the market, the show offers a unique opportunity to connect with qualified buyers just ahead of the summer season.
The event will showcase a diverse range of marine vessels available for viewing and purchase, alongside maintenance providers, inspection services, interactive workshops, and marine-themed experiences.
Guests can also look forward to enjoying a unique hospitality experience in a vibrant maritime atmosphere at the Mina Corniche, which overlooks Doha’s skyline and the towers of West Bay.
Additionally, there will be music and various activities held as part of the event.
With excitement building across the maritime community, Engineer Mohammed Abdullah Al Mulla, CEO of Old Doha Port, commented on the significance of the event: “The Mina Pre-Owned Boat Show brings to life our vision for Old Doha Port as a destination where stories, sails, and trade intersect. By creating Qatar’s first marine resale event, we are expanding access to boat ownership, supporting marine enthusiasts, and reinforcing our deep-rooted maritime identity in a contemporary way.”
With a welcoming atmosphere, the Mina Pre-Owned Boat Show runs daily from 5PM to 9PM and is expected to become a defining fixture in the country’s maritime calendar.
