Abu Dhabi: Aldar Properties, Abu Dhabi's integrated property development, investment and management company, announced on Tuesday that it has created a new subsidiary dedicated to transforming Abu Dhabi into an international luxury boating destination.
Aldar Marinas will provide a broad range of leisure marine facilities and services that constitute an integral part of Aldar's waterfront developments.
The first marinas to become operational are located on Aldar's premier Yas Island and Al Raha Beach projects.
Each marina will have its own identity and will provide state-or-the-art facilities for the yachting community from entry level boating to destination yachting.
Additionally, Aldar Marinas will provide a comprehensive boat service yard incorporating a spectrum of associated marine services.
The Yas Marina, surrounded by the Formula One racetrack, will provide berthing for luxury yachts to 100 meters as well as guest berthing.
The exclusive Yas Yacht Club located at Yas Marina will feature fine dining facilities and provide prime viewing of the Grand Prix racetrack.
Guests at Yas Island Marina will have an ideal location from which to enjoy access to the Yas Island theme parks, golf course and five-star hotels.
Ronald Stephen Barrott, CEO of Aldar Properties, said, "Marinas are a salient feature of the world-class waterfront communities we are building at various sectors in our waterfront projects in Abu Dhabi coast, and it is only natural that these facilities are run and operated to world-class standards."
