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.
