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.
