Dubai Boat Show: The Best New Motoryachts

Two weeks until the 2023 Dubai International Boat Show (DIBS) and shipyards are now confirming attendance with several show debuts taking place.

Set in the stunning Dubai Harbour, the five-day event is scheduled to run from 1-5 March 2023 and will be displaying more than 150 boats.

As the biggest yacht show in the UAE region, Dubai is the show to visit if you're looking for the latest, biggest and best yachts for sale.

Expecting a footfall of around 30,000 visitors, there are some great motor yachts making their way to the show this year, we've picked out a handful to whet your appetite and prepare you for the show in two weeks time.

Princess X95

Making her show debut in 2023, the Princess X95 launched into the market in 2020 and, along with the X80,  is selling well.

Recently announcing new investment with KPS Capital Partners, the shipyard have maxed out everything with the X95, creating a real must-have if you're looking for a smaller superyacht with all the amenities of a much larger model.

Making a statement with a super-size flybridge, there's an option to choose between a four or five-cabin layout that teams up with a raised pilothouse to offer a full length upper deck and extra entertaining space.

Max speed - 26 knots

Cabins - 4/5

LOA - 28.96m (95ft)

60 Sunreef Power

Not a debut but an updated model that demands attention. The 60 Sunreef Power Mk2 has taken over from the first generation that was discontinued in 2019.

Sporting a four-cabin layout for up to eight guests, the 60 Sunreef Power won the Motor Catamaran Trophy at the 2020 World Yachts Trophies ceremony and features a hydraulic swim platform, an optional on-deck Jacuzzi and separate crew access for optimal privacy.

Max speed - 19 knots

Cabins - 4

LOA - 18.3m (60ft)

Cranchi Sessantasette

A striking, bold and strong-jawed looking motor yacht, the Cranchi Sessantasette is an owner-focused model that really knows how to make an impression.

Powered by twin Volvo Penta D13-IPS1350 engines, the Sessantasette can provide thrilling rides for owners and their guests, as well as an atmosphere that is well suited to relaxing days at sea.

Extensive glazing along the main deck to port and starboard allow for striking views at every angle, while the full tender garage at the stern lets guests explore each destination further.

Max speed - 30 knots (approx)

Cabins - 3

LOA - 20.8m (68ft)

Ferretti Yachts 780

Now on its third generation, the Ferretti Yachts 780 continues to make waves in the yachting industry with five units currently under construction. 

Sporting a four-cabin layout with a main deck master, a VIP and two twins on the lower deck, this motor yacht is just shy of the superyacht market but boasts all the innovations needed to make it feel as though you're on a larger yacht.

Optimal privacy has a focal point onboard with private crew access, plus guests have easy access to the sea via a ladder off the swim platform.

Max speed - 31 knots 

Cabins - 4

LOA - 24.01m (78.77ft)
