Reasons to Charter a Yacht in Bahrain

Watersports Galore

With balmy Persian Gulf waters of the clearest blue and miles upon miles of silver sparkling coastline, Bahrain is a mecca for watersports enthusiasts. Use the deck of your yacht as a launching off point for Jet Ski adventures, kayaking to cushy bays, diving down to admire the rich and varied aquatic life, and feeling the sweet breeze and saltwater on your skin as you parasail and windsurf over the small whitecap waves.

Cultural Cool

Home of the world's very first poem and a land of architectural wonders, Bahrain has a lot of weighty heritage behind its name. Boasting a spectacular theatre, a mighty fort, and the strikingly beautiful Al Fateh Mosque, Bahrain is something else. From foodie tours to the Tree of Life, and National Museum and endless galleries, you can get your fill of fine culture in Bahrain.

Elegant Vibes

As the capital of the world's most beautiful and precious pearls, Bahrain truly sets the scene for being an elegant destination. While Dubai may have the glitz, Bahrain takes a more modest approach, offering rooftop lounges for watching the shimmering skyline, lazy island hopping, free concerts, fine foods, an extraordinary art scene, and sublime spa bliss. The Bahrain International Circuit is also highly enticing for F1 lovers looking to immerse themselves in speedy action.
