Recently they have announced a project to develop the Marina. It has been dubbed a mega-project.

Dubai Harbour and the yachting community

As the economic downturn hit, the number of yachts in Dubai Marina dropped. The biggest yachts were sold off by the super-rich and Dubai became somewhere that people sold yachts rather than spent time on them. But things have changed and Dubai Marina is ready to lead the world in this again.

The latest boats are full of the best tech, the most luxurious comfort and are coming to Dubai Marina. The 2017 Dubai Boat Show will showcase this and the Marina is going to be developed to house up to 1,400 yachts. This includes that larger 85 metre yachts that the market demands from the global yachting community.

The Dubai Marina area

Dubai Marin has become one of the places to live and spend time in the world. People want to be there. It is a place that attracts the rich as well as others from the rest of the community. As it is developed to house the biggest yachts and attract the crowds, expect property prices to rise. Luxury boats are being built and bought across the world but Dubai is a leading light in this area. The culture of yachting in Dubai is strong and will continue for years to come.
