Rashid Yachts & Marina by Emaar

Why Invest in Rashid Yachts & Marina?

Rashid Yachts & Marina represents one of the most significant waterfront developments in Dubai's history. Located at the historic Port Rashid, this AED 25 billion masterplan by Emaar Properties transforms 6.8 million square feet of prime waterfront land into a world-class marina lifestyle destination. The project blends Dubai's maritime heritage with contemporary luxury, creating a community unlike anything else in the UAE.

Prime Location & Connectivity

Situated in Bur Dubai along the historic Port Rashid coastline, Rashid Yachts & Marina offers unparalleled connectivity that few waterfront projects in Dubai can match. The development is just 10 minutes from Downtown Dubai and the Burj Khalifa, 5 minutes from Dubai International Airport (DXB), and easily accessible via Al Mina Road and Sheikh Rashid Road. The nearby Al Ghubaiba Metro Station (Green Line) provides direct public transport access to the wider city.

This central location sets it apart from other waterfront communities like Dubai Marina or Palm Jumeirah, which sit further from the city's business core. For investors targeting tenants who work in DIFC, Downtown, or the airport free zones, the commute advantage is significant.

World-Class Marina & Waterfront

The centrepiece of this development is its 400+ wet berth marina, accommodating superyachts up to 100 metres in length. The floating yacht club adds a Mediterranean flair rarely seen in the Middle East. Along the waterfront, a vibrant promenade stretches with restaurants, cafés, boutique retail, and outdoor dining terraces — all with direct views of the Dubai skyline and the Arabian Gulf.

The iconic Queen Elizabeth 2 (QE2), permanently docked as a floating hotel and heritage attraction, adds a unique cultural dimension. No other residential community in Dubai offers a blend of maritime heritage, superyacht culture, and luxury waterfront living in a single address.

Diverse Residential Sub-Communities

Rashid Yachts & Marina is not a single tower project — it's a sprawling waterfront district with multiple distinct sub-communities, each with its own character:

• Baystar by VIDA — Branded residences with hotel-standard concierge, housekeeping, and F&B services by VIDA Hotels & Resorts
• Aurea — Premium waterfront apartments with direct marina views
• Sera 2 — Elegant mid-rise residences with landscaped courtyards
• Pier Point — Canal-front living with proximity to retail promenades
• Ocean Cove — Sea-facing residences with Arabian Gulf panoramas
• Seascape — Coastal living with beach and park access
• Marina Place & Porto View — Marina-front apartments ideal for yacht owners
• Sunridge — The earliest phase, with handover expected Q1 2027

Amenities & Lifestyle

Residents enjoy an extraordinary range of community amenities designed for a resort-like lifestyle:

• Dubai's longest swimming pool — a 500-metre canal pool with private cabanas
• 12,600 sqm sandy beach with sunbeds and beach services
• Six interconnected district parks with children's play areas, jogging paths, and landscaped gardens
• Cycling and jogging tracks along the waterfront
• State-of-the-art fitness centres in each sub-community
• Waterfront retail boulevard with over 100 dining and shopping outlets
