How much is a marina berth rental?
Saw an advert for a small sailboat on the notice board at Spinneys for 22K. Good price. As a lapsed sailer I was tempted but before I continue the fantasy of sunset sails around the Palm, anyone have an idea of how much is a marina berth rental at the DOSC or anyplace that offers berths?
Re: How much is a marina berth rental?
So overall, an expensive hobby...as they say, there are only two happy times for a boat owner...the day you buy a boat and the day you sell a boat !
Yep, it's an old saying...I'm waiting for the second part - selling my boat...but times are really bad in Dubai for selling a boat.
Well, there goes the fantasy. The price for the boat is right and I'd be a keen sailor going out every weekend. But I ain't spending more than the cost of the boat, annually, for a berth.
Nah..it's going by ship as freight from Dubai to Brisbane...about A$20,000 !
Theres a few sailing clubs around that you can join..much, much cheaper option.
Don't let these berthing prices put you off - the prices are for motor yachts. If you want a sailing boat, find out berthing prices at, say, the small sailing club next to the Mina Seyahet (the little club adjoining the Dubai Marina east entrance). Else, join that club as they have numerous small sailing yachts.
