Boating in Abu Dhabi
I am one of those lucky people with enough disposable income to be able to purchase a boat.
The problem is the person i am purchasing from is a little unsure of the rules for reregistering the boat as he has been told that the procedure has changed since he registered his last in 2007 (the registration has expired). For instance he did not need to show the boat last time, just the paperwork. has anyone registered a boat recently and if so what is the procedure required. In addition in Dubai you are required to do a day skipper course, is this same procedure required in Abu Dhabi. |

Re: Boating in Abu Dhabi
well i think that its different in dxb to ad. the procedure is yes when you register you must get it inspected by the coast guard, and this is done at mina port area, and it doesnt cost you anything. you have to go to the DOT offices in khalifa flats, with all paperwork, fee of 500 on a card, take your boat to be inspected at mina port, they then do a police check which can take 10 days, you go back to coast guard, to get the ok, then back to khalifa flats, to pay your 500 and get your registration card, and then all done. so its a fraction of the cost.

Re: Boating in Abu Dhabi
