The brisk growth in the UAE leisure boat market is being invigorated by many waterfront developments in Dubai, a source in the industry told Khaleej Times.


An estimated 25,000 new berths for boats will be established over the next five years in the UAE. In Dubai alone, mega- projects such as the Dubai Marina, The Palms and the Dubai Festival City will offer large marinas, capable of hosting thousands of boats.
