Manama: Bahrain Marina Development Company has announced the launch of its maritime club brand “Marina Club.”
This move reflects the company’s vision to create an integrated waterfront and social destination—one that draws inspiration from Bahrain’s deep-rooted connection to the sea while catering to the aspirations of maritime enthusiasts and families alike, the company in a statement said.
The launch of this new brand is part of the first phase of the Bahrain Marina project, located along the waterfront of the capital, Manama. The club serves as a core component of the development, bringing together marine, sports, and recreational facilities alongside social amenities in a single, cohesive location, it added.
The name revives the original “Marina Club,” which for many years stood as a landmark of social and maritime life along the Manama waterfront, symbolizing the Kingdom’s historic bond with the sea.
The club features an array of amenities, including a gym, fine-dining restaurants, social lounges, swimming pools, and relaxation areas, as well as a private beach and dedicated zones for beach activities—offering members and their families a diverse range of ways to enjoy their time by the water.
At the heart of the club lies the marina, which accommodates 167 berths for yachts and boats up to 50 meters in length, along with 42 slips for jet skis. These are supported by facilities and services designed to ensure safe, seamless, and efficient experience for boat owners and water-sports enthusiasts.
“The launch of the ‘Marine Club’ brand holds special significance for us; it marks a new step in reviving a site deeply rooted in the memories of the people of Bahrain and their enduring connection to the sea. We have ensured that the Club reflects this heritage while offering a contemporary experience that meets the aspirations of its members and their families,” Riyadh Yusuf Sater, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Bahrain Marina Development Company, said.
“We aspire for the Club to become a distinctive destination where people can gather and enjoy its facilities and services. Together with the marina and the other components of the project, it will contribute to strengthening Manama’s position as an attractive maritime and tourism destination in the region,” Riyadh Sater, added.
“The Marine Club brings together a 167-berth marina, a private beach, swimming pools, and a gym—all in one location—on a scale never before seen in Bahrain. The opening will take place in phases, with the marina being the first to launch, allowing boat owners to utilize their berths while work continues the surrounding club facilities,” Gagan Suri, CEO of Bahrain Marina Development Company, said.
“Membership will be offered across various categories, including one specifically for berth holders. In the period leading up to the opening, our priority is ensuring operational readiness; we will announce the opening date for each facility as it becomes ready.” The club will also provide sustainable opportunities for Bahraini talent in the fields of maritime operations, hospitality, and leisure, in line with the Kingdom’s goals under Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.
The company intends to offer a variety of membership programs, granting access to the club’s facilities and services. Details regarding membership tiers and how to register interest will be announced soon.
The company previously announced that the first phase of the project has reached 97% completion, with its key components finished and opening in stages. The opening date for each element of this major development will be determined based on its construction and operational readiness.
In addition to the yacht club and marina, the Bahrain Marina project includes a freehold residential building—”Bahrain Marina Residences”—as well as “Marina Walk,” which features indoor and outdoor commercial spaces, along with a selection of restaurants and cafés overlooking the waterfront. Together, these elements create a destination that integrates residential living, retail, leisure, and maritime experiences in the heart of the capital.
