Al Mouj Marina makes boating more accessible with launch of Captain’s Club
Al Mouj Marina is making boating more accessible with the launch of the Captain’s Club, a subscription-based rental scheme where over 100 boats can be enjoyed at a collection of marinas across the MENA region, freeing boating enthusiasts from the cost of ownership.
Al Mouj Marina sits at the heart of the sultanate’s premier lifestyle destination Al Mouj Muscat and the club opens up the award-winning harbour and the pleasure of ocean-going adventures off the coast of Oman to a wider group of people.
Boats can be taken out and enjoyed either on a month-bymonth or annual basis, saving Captain’s Club members from the responsibilities and expenses typically associated with ownership such as mooring fees and maintenance.
In addition to Al Mouj Muscat, the Captain’s Club operates at five world-class marinas in the UAE and, once members have completed a two-day training course, they have the freedom and flexibility to pre-book a powerboat at any of the participating locations up to several months in advance.
Weekend or week-day use is determined by the type of membership and associated payment plans which include Silver, Pearl and Gold and where Silver membership costs only RO115 per month and RO1150 for the whole year for week day use only.
Pearl makes it possible for boats to be taken out during the week and over some weekends for RO155 per month or an annual fee of RO1600, and Gold provides 365-day use for a cost of RO186 per month or RO2000 for the year.
Boat availability at all of the harbours is guaranteed and other benefits include the option to cruise in the evening and stay overnight, enlist the expertise of experienced captains, enjoy complimentary trips, reserve boats in advance and freeze annual membership for 60 days to fit around plans.
“The Captain’s Club brings this exhilarating leisure experience within the reach of a much wider audience to get the opportunity to experience what Al Mouj Marina and the sear of Oman has to offer, and is extremely good value and a stress free alternative to ownership,” said Nasser bin Masoud al Sheibani, the chief executive officer of Al Mouj Muscat.
“It also opens up our wonderful marina to more people, many from further afield, and with an abundance of ocean-front cafes, restaurants and shops alongside at Al Mouj Muscat, members have the opportunity to make their experience truly memorable.”
Al Mouj Marina is a 400berth facility, the first in the region to be awarded International Clean Marina and 5 Gold Anchor accreditation and has one of the largest breakwaters in the world helping to facilitate safe mooring conditions as well as providing easy access out into crystal clear waters from which to savour views of the sultanate’s coastline and where the nature reserve of the Daymaniat Islands are within easy reach.
The Daymaniats are an archipelago of nine islands with golden sands beaches and an abundance of underwater marine life, offering opportunities for diving and snorkelling as well as overnight camping trip.
“As the Captain’s Club is open to members from across the region, it is set to bring greater awareness to the Daymaniats which are exceptionally beautiful havens of serenity and tranquillity and which I truly believe can rival islands anywhere in the world,” Sheibani added.
