Registration and rules to check

Pleasure boats in the UAE are registered through the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. The registration process asks for a boat insurance policy valid for 13 months, and the official requirements differ by boat length, so check the rule for your size before you launch. Sewage must not be dumped in the UAE and Arab Gulf waters, and it has to be discharged according to the applicable marine standards. If you plan to race, the UAE Sailing and Rowing Federation sets its own policies, and international rowing requires boats and oars that meet the World Rowing equipment rules.

Season and weather

The climate is desert: summers are very hot from May to September, and winters are mild from November to March. Heat makes time on open water far less comfortable, so the mild months from November to March are the time most people choose for outings. Plan your first trips for that season and check the forecast before you go out.

Delivery, what is included and units

Lengths are given in feet and in metres, capacities in persons, and hulls in PVC, Hypalon, composite, aluminium or wood. Some sets include paddles and a pump, while one inflatable dinghy is listed with no oars, so ask exactly what is in the box. Prices are shown in AED per boat, and delivery should be confirmed for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman or Al Ain.

What to write in your request

Name the hull material, the length in feet or metres, how many people it must carry, and what you will use it for, such as lakes, open sea or fishing. Add what must be included, such as paddles, oars, pump or cover, plus the condition you accept, your budget and your city. For a used boat, ask for the year and the model.
