thanks for the info. Nowhere as convenient as launching from the fishing villages. If they do enforce this it is going to be a complete nightmare for many people, locals included.

The one on the Palm would be the nearest to Jumeirah. DH hasn't been there for a while, one side was filling up but there was still another side to be opened. Ghantoot would allow you to park your trailer but, unless things have changed, the others wouldn't. Probably only 10% of the berths at Ghantoot are taken. Last time we were at Festival City Marina it was about a quarter full. The west bay of DMYC has plenty of spaces and is cheaper as the berths do not have electricity or water. You can try negotiating with all of them but it doesn't mean they will reduce their rates. @ Go girl - DH used to be the marina manager at Ghantoot. Do you still have a boat there ? Yes I still have a boat there. <em>edited by Go girl on 02/10/2012</em>

As close to Jumeirah as possible. Which ones are a quarter full and likely to negotiate? We do not need all the extras or cost that come with the likes of DIMC and dubai marina. TIA Oh and trailer parking would be a bonus ;) <em>edited by daffers on 02/10/2012</em>

There are plenty of available berths in marinas in Dubai. Some marinas aren't even a quarter full. Amelia, can you let me know which ones have spaces. Many thanks. Depends what facilities you want and how much you are willing to pay. There are spaces in DMYC, Anchor Marina on the Palm, Festival City, Creek Marina. If you want somewhere more rural and different, there is Ghantoot Marina on the Dubai/Abu Dhabi border (20 - 30 minutes drive from Marina area). <em>edited by amelia on 02/10/2012</em>

The marine industry is still depressed. There are plenty of available berths in marinas in Dubai at varying charges per foot but, to attract owners and fill them, they need to reduce their charges even more. Some marinas aren't even a quarter full.

not majority, but if you have a wet berth then you do not need a trailer, and if you can afford wet berthing, then you can afford to buy a trailer on the rare occasion that your boat might want to come out...... A buy new trailer twice a year or more :( not in this house. buy a new trailer twice a year? this rule is for all uae, they are trying to get people to use the new marinas in town. but i can understand there are a lot of boats just parked in car parks etc but of course they need to have places for them to go and reasonable prices.

If you are paying for dry berthing, then your boat sits on a trailer in its berth. when launched, then the trailer gets taken back to berthing spot.

sorry Daffers, I cannot find the links, but the Gulf News ran various stories on this when it broke a few years ago. As a boat owner, I can say that it is on the registration paper work, berthing must be in a legally allocated place (sailing club or other such place). And the trailer?

Abu DHabi - http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/owners-of-illegally-parked-boats-given-ultimatum Saw this but relates to commercial trailers, even with a mooring you have to park the trailer somewhere. They are putting notices on boats and trailers in Umm suqeim notifying owners they have one week to move offending boat and/or trailer or the RTA will impound them! Another well thought out move!

It is not a new rule, it came into effect about 2 years ago. You are not allowed to park your boat outside your house. Also you are not allowed to transport your boat without prior permission from the Police, so really there is no point in keeping it at home. Better to find berthing (wet or dry), this is what they are hoping most will do. When you re-register your boat, all of the details are on the back of the coast guards papers that you filled in. I don't know if they are in English, but they are there with rules on boat ownership.

Has anyone heard about the new rule outlawing the parking of boats and trailers outside of villas. RTA have referred me to the parking department in Rashidya who apparently have no phone number. Just wondering if anyone knows the actual ruling and whether or not one can park on random sand patches or whether they have built some boat parks I am unaware of ;). TIA
