Maldivia 45 at the Dubai International Boat Show 2026
25–29 November 2026 · Dubai Harbour · Maldivia Shipyard, Stand OD-31

Heading to Dubai ;-)
The Maldivia 45 is a 52-seat fast ferry built for island transfers in demanding seas. In open-sea trials in October 2026, it held 28 knots in 0.5–1 metre waves and 27 knots in 1–1.5 metre waves. Fully loaded, it weighs 10–13 tonnes, about half as much as comparable ferries. This gives operators a cost per seat more than 70% lower, according to our comparison with a typical 48-foot ferry.
At the show, we will introduce the full Maldivia 45 family, all built on the same proven hull:
Maldivia 45 Ferry: for resorts, island operators and public transport.
Maldivia 45 Superyacht Shuttle: a guest shuttle with a limousine saloon, light enough to be lifted aboard a megayacht.
Maldivia 45 Grand Tourismo: a seagoing cruiser with up to 900 nautical miles of range.
Maldivia 45 Center Console: an offshore fishing boat with a choice of outboard or diesel power.
Resort operators, yacht captains, fleet managers and private owners are welcome to visit Stand OD-31 to discuss their routes and requirements.
The week before, the Maldivia 45 will also be on show at Metstrade in Amsterdam, 17–19 November, on the stand of Solico Engineering.
