ADYS will be the region's first show dedicated exclusively to super and mega yachts that will range in size from 30m to 100m.

Motor yacht Lauren is one of the world's 100 largest yachts. It is a magnificent yacht which offers luxury amenities and a minimum of one crew member for each passenger on board.

It is able to host gatherings of up to 150 people and can comfortably accommodate up to 48 guests overnight. The yacht also features a large and luxurious conference room, library, and conference center; a 'Lido Bar' and a formal Dining Room for entertaining; and a Helicopter landing pad for VIP transportation to and from the yacht.

Apart from Lauren, more than 18 of the world's leading superyachts will be showcased at the ADYS and over 80 exhibitors displaying their finest yachts have already signed their participation, including Platinum Yachts (builders of His Excellency Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum's megayacht, 'Dubai,' the largest and most expensive yacht in the world), Sea Pros Yachts (showing Ferretti's custome line, CRN), Wally Yachts (showing high performance Wally 118'), Westport (showing Westport 130', a tri-deck motor yacht with 5 staterooms), and the UAE's own Gulf Craft Inc.
