BWA Yachting expands Middle East presence 

BWA Yachting has launched a new regional base in Barsha Heights, Dubai.  

This addition follows recent openings in Saudi Arabia and the Maldives — expanding its Middle East network. 

Global services network

BWA Yachting supports captains, crew and managers with port clearance, provisioning, logistics, bunkering, visa formalities and concierge services.  

Its global office network spans the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Scandinavia, Americas — and now expands deeper into the Gulf and Indian Ocean routes.  

Strategic hub for Gulf cruising

The new UAE base boosts BWA’s capacity across a rapidly-growing yachting market.  

It supports superyacht movements between all major UAE marinas and ports — ideal for vessels transiting from the Suez Canal through the Gulf and Indian Ocean.  

The Dubai office in Barsha Heights will be overseen by regional head Abdulaziz Higgi with operational duties led by Stelios Choulakis. Their combined experience ensures consistent service delivery across the Gulf.  

Full UAE and Gulf-region coverage

BWA Yachting UAE will handle all major ports and marinas, including in Dubai:

  • Dubai Harbour
  • Mina Rashid
  • Marsa Al Arab,
  • Palm Jumeirah,
  • Bvlgari Marina

In Abu Dhabi

  • Yas Marina
  • Emirates Palace Marina

In Other Emirates:

  • Ajman
  • Fujairah
  • Ras Al Khaimah
  • Sharjah
  • Umm Al Quwain  

This network gives yacht owners access to a “single-point-of-contact” service across the entire region.

Strategic growth — beyond the Gulf

This launch is part of a wider expansion by BWA Yachting. In 2025 it opened a new base in the Maldives, enhancing coverage between the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Gulf.  

Similarly, BWA has already established operations in Saudi Arabia, reinforcing seamless yacht support from the Mediterranean, through Suez, to the Gulf and beyond.  

Streamlined operations across Gulf and Indian Ocean routes: One cohesive agency network handles clearance, logistics and support from Dubai to Maldives.

Local knowledge, global standards: Regional teams familiar with Gulf-region formalities deliver consistent professional service.

Flexibility and reliability: Whether you require last-minute provisioning, crew support or port clearance — BWA’s global network is designed to respond swiftly.

BWA Yachting’s Dubai office reflects the company’s commitment to a fully interconnected global marine-service network. This step strengthens Gulf-region yachting infrastructure and offers enhanced services and reassurance for superyacht owners, captains and crews operating in one of the world’s fastest-growing cruising zones.
