Dubai has unveiled a new ‘Dock and Dine’ initiative, giving yacht owners, crews, and guests easy access to 20 of the city’s top marinas and marine stations, all paired with premium waterfront dining experiences.

The concept allows visitors to sail between marinas, dock for a short stay, and enjoy world-class restaurants within a 45-minute to one-hour cruising distance. Complimentary moorage is included, along with quick booking responses; reservations can be confirmed in as little as five minutes.

Yacht crews can also arrange tables directly with restaurants, with dedicated dock tenders ensuring smooth guest drop-offs and pick-ups. To simplify the experience, marina regulations have been standardised across Dubai.

Participating Marinas

Some of the marinas taking part include Dubai Harbour Marinas, Bulgari Marina, Dubai Marina Yacht Club, Mina Rashid Marina, Jebel Ali Marina, Palm Jumeirah Marina, Al Seef Marina, and Port De La Mer Marina, among others.

Sheikh Dr Saeed bin Ahmed bin Khalifa Al Maktoum, CEO of the Dubai Maritime Authority, said the move will provide a “streamlined arrival experience for foreign-flagged vessels” while ensuring world-class service for every guest.

Dock and Dine adds another layer of leisure and lifestyle appeal to Dubai’s waterfront.
