Seasports

Conditions in the Gulf are near-perfect for sailing, with a constant, predictable wind year-round, little current or tide and warm weather.

Wind-surfers and dinghies dot the waters around Dubai's sailing clubs and marinas as residents and visitors take advantage of the conditions.

Lasers and a limited range of other boats, as well as surfboards and jet skis are available for hire, with instruction if necessary, from specialised clubs and the hotel-linked marinas.

The Dubai International Marine Club at Mina Seyahi, approximately 20 minutes' drive from the city centre, hosts international and local watersports events. These include races for many types of vessels from dhows and jet skis to world championship powerboats.
