Amazing Watersports
Not only is UAQ Marine a fully functional marina, but it is also a club, an expanding center of activity not just for Umm Al Quwain but for neighboring Emirates as well. It offers good value for money so many water sports enthusiastic are relocating from Dubai, to take advantage of the setting, the services and the value offered by the Club.
The following will give you a little information on what we can do to help you relax and to enjoy your pastimes. We hope you enjoy the tour offered by our website and welcome inquiries and visits as well.
The Marine Club offers ideal conditions for both wakeboarding and skiing. Its location is on an inlet, protected from the open sea, means consistently calm waters so you can make plans for every weekend without worrying about wind disturbance. The setting, too, is beautiful, with one shore a wilderness of mangroves, home to flamingos and other shore birds. There is limited boat traffic in the inlet and because it is narrow, boats travel only north or south, making navigation simple and safe.
While the wakeboarding and skiing enthusiasts enjoy the calm waters of the creek, the fishermen take to the sea, eagerly hoping to catch a good size fish. The Gulf waters in most places are not deeper than 30 meters, therefore the water in summer is about 35°C.
The local catch includes Emperor Bream (Sherri), King Fish (Qanat), Queen Fish, Catfish, Shark, Cobia, Barracuda, Sultan Ibrahim, Trevally, Tuna, Snapper and Hamour. To catch these fish takes a good knowledge of the water, of the season, of the tides, the temperature, of the currents and the bait to use. Every fisherman believes in their own technique. Also available are blue crabs.
The club has a range of water sports activities. If you are already a professional, come and enjoy the sport of your choice. If you wish, we can provide lessons for you or your children, as we have an experienced trainer who can help with certain sports. The sports we offer are:
