Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is an increasingly important Middle Eastern yacht destination, combining modern marina infrastructure, island resorts, cultural landmarks, Formula 1 activity, luxury hotels and year-round warm-weather cruising potential.

Yas Marina is one of the city’s key yacht facilities and is closely associated with Yas Island, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and major hospitality venues. The emirate also offers access to Saadiyat Island, the Louvre Abu Dhabi, beach resorts, mangroves and sheltered Gulf cruising.

For superyachts, Abu Dhabi has growing appeal as a winter destination and Gulf operating base. Its strengths include airport access, high-end hospitality, premium marina services and a more relaxed pace than Dubai while still offering major-event appeal.
