As Seabird Yachts, we are committed to promoting Dubai as a premier charter destination and collaborating with the association to enhance the appeal of the destination for foreign vessels. We have successfully introduced the first foreign commercial sailing yacht to the region, demonstrating our capability and dedication. Moving forward, we are enthusiastic about supporting anyone interested in sharing our experience and expertise.
As a member, we’ve experienced firsthand the positive impact of LMA initiatives on the leisure marine industry in the UAE. Excited to be part of the vibrant LMA community!
Having just moved to the UAE has been a big step into the unknown as I did not understand the region, its struggles and the people that are working in and developing this region. The LMA has made it an incredibly warm welcome and for me it has been specifically nice to put faces behind all the WhatsApp and email messages through all the meetings and events. Next to that, it is great to see the discussions first-hand for me personally, being on off the youngest in the local industry it is great to see how we can improve this region so there is future for me and my yachting peers here as well!
