Shanghai Yacht, Boat & Accessories ExhibitionCIBS

The Shanghai International Boat Show (CIBS) is Asia’s longest-running comprehensive marine exhibition. CIBS will undertake a comprehensive upgrade of its “on-water + surface + underwater” industry ecosystem. While retaining its core segments—yacht displays, marine equipment and accessories, and related services—the show will, for the first time, partner with the Asian Diving Expo (ADEX) to foster deep integration between the yacht industry and diving sports, underwater gear, and ocean‑related lifestyles, thereby creating a holistic platform that covers all facets of marine leisure consumption.

Against the backdrop of national policies that continuously promote service‑sector upgrades and encourage high‑quality growth in yacht consumption, China’s waterfront economy and marine leisure industries are poised for a new wave of development opportunities.

Meanwhile, the sailing‑boat section will be further expanded, bringing together global sailing brands, cutting-edge technologies, and specialized training institutions to establish a premier forum for dialogue and collaboration within the sailing‑sport sector.

As waterfront tourism, water‑based sports, and marine leisure consumption continue to gain momentum, China’s domestic yacht industry is entering a phase of rapid expansion. From casual recreational outings to coastal getaways, lure fishing, and scuba diving experiences, diverse consumer demands are steadily emerging, driving continuous improvements in domestic yacht R&D and manufacturing capabilities.

Leveraging the industry’s growth dividends, the Shanghai International Boat Show (CIBS) will further scale up its showcase of domestically produced yachts, gathering more local shipbuilders and homegrown brands to highlight new products, innovative technologies, and significant achievements in China’s yacht‑manufacturing sector, thus presenting a fresh image of industrial upgrading.

During the event, over 50 specialized activities—including the China International Marine Industry Development Forum, the Asian Yacht Awards Ceremony, a Water Sports Carnival, and new‑product launch events—will take place concurrently, facilitating in-depth discussions on key topics such as industry trends, technological innovation, and market opportunities.

Setting sail once again toward new horizons! The Shanghai International Boat Show (CIBS) will continue to connect global resources, advance collaborative innovation across the industry, and support the high‑quality development of the yacht economy, waterfront cultural‑tourism sectors, and marine leisure industries.
