Welcome
Welcome to Dubai Marina Yacht Club Rally Programme 2015/2016.
There is a whole world of discovery ahead of us in our Rally Programme this year, where berth
holders can explore the clear waters and new destinations.
Launched in 2012, the Rally Programme is a series of sea and land rallies organised exclusively
for berth holders by our experienced Marina and Yacht Club Teams. The programme includes
land-based events such as workshops, seasonal social gatherings, activities and water based
expeditions.
Led by our experienced team, you can discover local gems such as Jebel Ali, Lebanon Island
and Moon Island, or travel further afield. The Rally Programme is your opportunity to explore new
places such as the luxurious Nurai Island and the Musandam Peninsula in the Oman Coast.
Building on the success of last year’s Rally Programme, we have added some exciting new
destinations as well as kept some of the long-standing favourites for the 2015/2016 season.
We will be sending out exclusive berth holder invitations and will be present at the events to
assist you.
We are all excited about the new rally season and we hope you are too.
New Berth Holder Introduction
All new berth holders are invited to attend one of Dubai Marina Yacht Club’s new berth holder
meetings led by the Marina Operations team. This successful meeting creates awareness about the
advancements in the marina and provides the opportunity to interact with other berth holders as
well as socialise with people of similar interests.
