Marsa Al Arab Marina: Where Superyacht Berthing Meets 5-Star Hospitality

For owners arriving in Dubai by yacht, the appeal of Marsa Al Arab begins with its setting, but it is defined by what awaits once the yacht is berthed.

Situated at the tip of Dubai's exclusive golden peninsula and integrated within Jumeirah Marsa Al Arab, D-Marin Marsa Al Arab Marina combines private yacht berthing, absolute discretion and 5-star hospitality within an ultra-luxury destination. The marina offers 82 berths for yachts up to 61 metres, with views towards Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and direct access to the open sea.

What distinguishes Marsa Al Arab is the connection between the yacht and the destination ashore. With Jumeirah’s wider beachfront portfolio within easy reach, owners and guests are close to an exceptional selection of dining, leisure and hospitality experiences.

A Superyacht Address in Dubai

Marsa Al Arab’s Superyacht Ready accreditation by TYHA reinforces its credentials as a marina designed for larger yachts. Its superyacht-ready infrastructure includes berths for vessels up to 61 metres, a draft of up to four metres and shore power ranging from 16A single-phase to 400A three-phase.

The experience extends well beyond the technical requirements of the berth. Dedicated superyacht parking allows owners and guests to arrive and depart only steps from the yacht, adding a level of privacy and convenience particularly suited to larger vessels. Personalised concierge support, 5-star hospitality and buggy transfers across the marina and Jumeirah's beachfront destinations further enhance the guest experience. Dedicated jet ski pontoons support yachts carrying personal watercraft, while on-site security and controlled access maintain the privacy expected of a private marina.

For captains and crew, 24/7 professional dockhand assistance is complemented by sailing-permit arrangements, navigational warning updates, black and grey water pump-out services, a pump-out boat, and waste collection and disposal. Wi-Fi, cable internet, dock carts, dock boxes, modern washrooms and showers support day-to-day yacht operations. Direct access to the open sea further strengthens Marsa Al Arab's position as a highly capable base for cruising Dubai and beyond.

Lifestyle Privileges Beyond the Marina

Yacht owners who secure an annual berthing contract are eligible for lifestyle membership, extending selected privileges across Jumeirah’s beachfront portfolio in Dubai. These include access to selected beaches and pools, leisure, fitness and sporting facilities, together with a curated selection of complimentary and preferential offers across dining, hotel stays and wellness experiences.

The membership adds another dimension to annual berthing at Marsa Al Arab, extending the experience beyond the yacht and marina.

Sailing Across the D-Marin Network

The annual private berth package extends beyond Marsa Al Arab through D-Marin's Happy Berth Days programme across a network of 28 marinas. Eligible members receive up to 15 days of complimentary berthing at each D-Marin marina in Dubai, together with an additional seven days at each D-Marin marina worldwide.

For yacht owners who move between destinations, the programme connects a berth in Dubai with D-Marin's wider international network.

International Standards and Industry Recognition

For owners and captains, international accreditations offer a clear measure of how a marina performs beyond its setting. Marsa Al Arab is the only Blue Flag-certified marina in Dubai, reflecting recognised standards in environmental management, safety and service.

Its 5 Gold Anchor, Superyacht Ready and International Clean Marina accreditations provide further recognition of service quality, superyacht capability and responsible operations.

This combination of standards was reinforced in 2025, when D-Marin Marsa Al Arab received the Gold award in the Outstanding Emerging Marina category at the Abu Dhabi Maritime Awards.

A Different Perspective on Yacht Berthing in Dubai

Marsa Al Arab brings together the requirements of modern superyachting with the standards of one of Dubai's most prestigious hospitality destinations.

The ambition is to create a complete yachting experience, combining superyacht-ready infrastructure and professional marina operations with world-class facilities, 5-star hospitality, personalised service and exclusive member privileges. Every element, from arrival and berthing to leisure, dining and time ashore, is designed to make each stay feel considered from beginning to end.

The result is a new standard for superyacht berthing in Dubai, creating a premier address for owners, guests and captains arriving in the city by sea.
