Bahrain has seen an increasing amount of waterfront developments with a focus on leisure boating in recent years, and has available berths and modern full-service marinas. Its location is a quick one-day cruising distance from United Arab Emirates (UAE) or Kuwait and only hours from Qatar . Bahrain also offers close proximity and convenient access to Saudi Arabia. The Saudi market has been especially resilient to the current financial and economical crisis with 75,000 people crossing the King Fahd Causeway from Saudi Arabia to Bahrain every weekend.
