The company also offers special<br />
promotions at universities that open<br />
this door to students who want to<br />
experience the luxury of owning a<br />
yacht without having to worry about<br />
the cost of buying one, maintenance<br />
fees and all the other hassle that comes<br />
with complete ownership.<br />
Unlimited choices<br />
Depending on which membership<br />
they sign up for, members would have<br />
unlimited access to a number of boats<br />
and <strong>yachts</strong> exclusively manufactured by<br />
Al Suwaidi Marine. This includes ASM<br />
34 SF and 29 SF, the powerful sports<br />
fisher boats that incorporate the latest<br />
single stepped hull design for increased<br />
performance and efficiency in addition<br />
to other unique features include storage<br />
for fishing tools and a wide variety<br />
of drive options.<br />
Additionally, members and their<br />
guests would have the option add<br />
extra services, such as catering,<br />
customizations for special occasions,<br />
a choice between male and female<br />
captains, equipment for watersports,<br />
and so much more. Al Awaid said<br />
to us, “Whatever a member wakes<br />
up and decides to do, we want to be<br />
able to do it.”<br />
Safety comes first<br />
Members can receive an international<br />
license within two days of joining the<br />
Fun Fun Boating Club. To help build<br />
the confidence of first-timers, a captain<br />
accompanies them on their first two<br />
trips and ensures they know where all<br />
the storage areas, on board facilities,<br />
and safety gear are on the boat. They<br />
are also given guidelines for policies<br />
and procedures to follow and each boat<br />
is fitted a GPS system to help members<br />
navigate their adventures.<br />
As an additional safety measure,<br />
the tracking system on board is linked<br />
directly to the the company should<br />
they need to send a rescue boat to sea.<br />
Al Awaid adds, “We want people to<br />
feel as safe they would be in their own<br />
homes. This is, after all, their home<br />
away from home.”<br />
Fun Fun Boating is currently based<br />
in Dubai with expansion plans for<br />
the rest of the UAE, the region,<br />
and globally.<br />
