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?

As an idea (Dubai Marina): For a small sailboat (<8 m): DMYC club house berth: AED 2320 deposit and AED 27,840 per year East Marina (Phase 1 Emaar building area): AED 2320 deposit and AED 22,080 per year West Marina: AED 2320 deposit and AED 20,160 per year Dubai Marina Mall: AED 2320 deposit and AED 22,080 per year Plus there may be a club joining fee (AED 8,000) 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 ! |

I once worked with a guy who bought a light aircraft. It nearly bankrupted him... |

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.
