BWA Yachting opens UAE office amid ongoing expansion

　　Global yachting agency BWA Yachting has opened a new office in Dubai as part of its ongoing expansion in the Middle East.

　　The move establishes BWA Yachting UAE and increases the company’s regional coverage by linking its operations across the Gulf.

　　The news follows the firm’s launch in Saudi Arabia in 2024. BWA Yachting also expanded in the Maldives in July 2025.

　　The company, which provides superyacht agency and concierge services, is positioning the Dubai office as part of its broader network strategy.

　　The office is located in Barsha Heights, and will coordinate activity across ports and marinas in the United Arab Emirates.

　　The UAE operation sits alongside BWA Yachting KSA to help maintain continuity for clients. The local team is led by operations manager Stelios Choulakis.

　　“The launch of BWA Yachting UAE is a pivotal moment in our Middle East growth strategy,” says Paschalis Patsiokas, CEO of BWA Yachting. “Following our successful establishment in Saudi Arabia, expanding into the UAE allows us to truly connect the dots across the Gulf region. Our clients can now experience an unbroken chain of world-class service, from the Suez Canal to the Arabian Gulf, supported by our dedicated local teams and global standards of excellence.”

　　The UAE continues to develop its marina infrastructure, hospitality facilities and related services. Its capital, Abu Dhabi, is positioning itself increasingly as a hub for marine startups.

　　Freedom Boat Club, a Brunswick Corporation business and brand, has confirmed its expansion into the UAE with the recent launch of Freedom Boat Club of Dubai.

　　Abdulaziz Higgi, head of BWA Yachting KSA and UAE, adds: “The UAE is a natural next step for BWA Yachting. From Dubai Harbour to Yas Marina, we’re here to make every moment onboard effortless. Our local insight and international reach allow us to elevate the yachting experience, offering more than services; we deliver peace of mind.”

　　BWA Yachting UAE supports major marinas across Dubai, including Dubai Harbour Marina, Mina Rashid Marina, Marsa Al Arab Marina, Palm Jumeirah Marina and Bvlgari Marina. In Abu Dhabi, coverage includes Yas Marina and Emirates Palace Marina. Further support is available in Ajman, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain.

The company offers berth reservations and formalities, bunkering, immigration and visa assistance, crew support, technical and shipyard services, provisioning and logistics, freight handling, VIP concierge services, onboard and local experiences, off-season storage and transport services.
