Captains Club Announces AED 25 Million Fleet Expansion, Surpassing 300 Vessels
The Captains Club has announced a major AED 25 million investment to expand its fleet by 70 boats, bringing its total number of vessels to over 300 across the UAE and GCC.
The move marks a significant milestone for the region’s first and largest premium boat club, which currently operates across 24 locations. The expansion comes at a time of regional uncertainty, highlighting the company’s strong confidence in the UAE’s economic resilience, leadership, and its position as a global hub for lifestyle and leisure innovation.
The fleet expansion is aimed at enhancing the overall membership experience, offering greater availability, variety, and access to a wider range of vessels and on-water activities. Each addition to the fleet is expected to directly increase value for members, with the first batch of new boats set to be available starting April 2026.
Commenting on the development, Zaid Shouly said the investment reflects the company’s long-term vision and commitment to growth in the UAE market. He emphasized that while others may adopt a cautious approach, the company is choosing to invest with confidence in the region’s future.
In addition to expanding its fleet, The Captains Club plans to introduce new categories of boats and curated on-water experiences. These offerings are expected to further diversify leisure options for members across its marina network in the UAE and GCC.
Full details of the new vessel types and experiences will be unveiled ahead of the official launch in April 2026, as the company continues to strengthen its position in the region’s premium lifestyle and marine leisure sector.
