About Dubai Marina Yacht Club:
Dubai Marina Yacht Club is the port authority for all operations and berthing in the Dubai Marina canal, a 3.5 kilometre manmade waterway running through the prestigious Dubai Marina residential development and the centre of 'new' Dubai. Continually expanding, the first of four marinas, East Marina, was completed in summer 2007, followed by the Yacht Club Marina and West Bay Marina which opened recently. A fourth marina is scheduled to open later this year bringing the total available berths to over 500 yachts ranging from 6-40 metres in length.
Currently hosting around 435 permanent pontoon berths, Dubai Marina Yacht Club has added to its portfolio with the prestigious Dubai Marina Yacht Club clubhouse: a striking purpose-built venue for entertaining social groups and business colleagues.
Fully licensed restaurants are open to all. Built facing its own 132-berth private marina, the ground floor opens out through a waterfront café onto a public boulevard called Marina Walk, which encircles the canal. Hosting a string of yacht brokerage boutiques and marine lifestyle outlets, Dubai Marina Yacht Club has become the new centre of lifestyle yachting in Dubai.
