Master developer Nakheel is investing AED15mn to increase boat mooring capacity on Palm Jumeirah, with two new marinas that will bring the total berths on the island to 600.
New marinas are on the way at Nakheels Azure Residences waterfront apartment and restaurant complex on the islands eastern trunk, and at The Pointe, Nakheel Malls upcoming seafront dining and shopping destination.
Nakheel has appointed Majestic Marine Engineering to build the new facilities, with Applied Technology & Management, Inc. (ATM) the appointed consultants.
Due for completion this year, the marinas will accommodate a total of 44 boats and yachts up to 30m long, and will complement Nakheels two existing marinas on the island, at Palm Views East and West, which are already at full capacity with 556 moorings.
Nakheel is also building six marinas, at a cost of AED165mn, at its new waterfront master development, Deira Islands. Between them, they will accommodate 614 boats and yachts up to 60m long.
