Boat myths debunked
Four things people believe about boat clubs — and the facts behind them.
The world is full of myths, from the Loch Ness monster to perpetual-motion machines, and we have always loved sharing these elusive stories. Boating is no exception.
Most myths about boat clubs come from people who have never tried one, or who had a bad experience with a low-quality company. As with everything you buy, choosing the right club is the first step to a good experience on the water. Before you join a boat club, you deserve the facts so you can make an informed decision.
Myth 1: “A boat club is very expensive”
This is the most common myth: that boat clubs are only for millionaires. It is false. Our club has different types of membership to suit different budgets and needs. Whether you are a casual boater or want to be on the water as often as possible, there is a plan for you.
Myth 2: “I am not the boating type”
The idea that all boaters are tanned adventurers is false. You do not have to be a born sailor to enjoy the water, so do not let preconceptions stop you from trying.
Taking a boat out — whether a speedboat in Dubai or a classic motorboat — is something you have to try to understand; it cannot really be described in words. Anyone with a sense of freedom loves the sea, and even a casual boater can enjoy the thrill of driving a boat across the waves.
Myth 3: “There will be hidden costs”
Our membership costs are transparent: you know from the start how much you will pay and what you get for your money. This myth may come from people who have dealt with unprofessional boat clubs. With a professional team like ours, you get great value and transparency.
Myth 4: “You need experience to join a boat club”
No prior experience is needed to join our boat club in Dubai. Our memberships include full RYA training with Xclusive Sea School, and after training you receive an international boating licence. We teach you everything you need to know before your first trip.
The bottom line
Joining a boat club is a thrilling, life-changing experience. Choose a professional team and you get the quality and support you need — enjoying the blue waters of Dubai has never been so easy.
