(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) The much-anticipated Abu Dhabi International Boat Show (ADIBS) 2025 will return to the capital from November 20 to 23. Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in Al Dhafra Region, the event is organised by ADNEC Group, a Modon company, and promises an expanded lineup of family-friendly activities, live entertainment and exciting waterfront experiences for all ages at the ADNEC Marina Hall.

In the lead-up to the event ADNEC Group, in collaboration with Experience Abu Dhabi and the Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards, is set to launch a new attraction on one of Abu Dhabi's many vibrant waterfronts, unveiling a giant inflatable flamingo named Captain ADIBS. Standing over 23 meters tall, 17 meters long and 19 meters wide, Captain ADIBS is inspired by the UAE's native wetland species and is attempting to break a Guinness World RecordTM for the largest inflatable pool float.

From November 15 to 18, Captain ADIBS will be visible from several iconic waterfront locations at several public viewing sites including Yas Bay Waterfront, Etihad Arena and along the Al Raha Beach coastline. Promo codes can be found around the sites or by visiting adibs/followtheflamingo, offering discounts on tickets to the Boat Show, encouraging community engagement and raising awareness about the upcoming event. Captain ADIBS will then travel to the ADNEC Marina from November 20 to 23, welcoming visitors to one of the region's leading marine events.
