Dubai Water Canal cruise
“The new marina at Marasi Business Bay will leverage the latest advances in construction and engineering for its on-schedule completion, offering the city a new active urban lifestyle dimension and waterfront destination.” – Abdulla Lahej, CEO of Dubai Properties
Dubai Canal Cruise is popular at the Marasi Marina section of Business Bay. The Marina is the first fully operational jetty in the Canal and is the first marina of its kind in the area. It boasts an area of 40,000 sqm and has 157 berths for yachts and boats of different sizes. Marasi Marina’s opening was conveniently planned to mark the beginning of the yachting season of 2018. Surprisingly enough, the construction of the jetty took a mere 90 days to complete.
This waterfront area of Marasi Business Bay was developed with the goal of boosting Dubai’s tourism, real estate, and leisure activities. There are 8 interconnected piers in Marasi Marina that ideally fit boats and yachts of up to 35 m length. The jetty has been constructed to be sustainable, safe, and resilient to rough weather conditions. Needless to say, it is the haunt of yachting enthusiasts in the UAE.
