Fujairah International Marine Club

What Fujairah International Marine Club does

Fujairah International Marine Club (FIMC) is a government-owned marine sports and recreation institution established in 1999 under Emiri Decree No. 1 of 1999 by the Emirate of Fujairah, United Arab Emirates. It operates a coastal marina facility on the Courniche of Fujairah that serves as an integrated hub for water sports, diving, fishing, powerboating, and vessel services on the UAE east coast.

FIMC's core offerings span six internally operated service lines: FTA-approved Powerboat Driving Courses (maritime education and certification), a Technical and Mechanical Workshop for boat maintenance, Marine Supply and Marine Services, Wet and Dry Berthing for over 100 boats ranging from 15 ft to 130 ft (with 24-hour fuel dock, electricity, water, and security), PADI-affiliated Diving Centers, and Fishing and Pleasure Trips (e.g., Marina 2 30ft Open Boat at Dhs 350/hour for up to five persons). In parallel, FIMC hosts nine third-party operators within its premises — including Delma Marine, Blue Waters Marine, XR HUB, Barracuda Diving Center, Spearo Zone, and four fishing charter operators (Arabian Sea Fish Charter, Al Nawras Marine, GT Offshore Fishing Charters, Soolyman Sport Fishing) — creating a one-stop marine ecosystem for boat owners, divers, fishermen, and water sports enthusiasts.

The revenue model combines recurring berthing subscriptions, one-time certification and course fees (powerboat, PADI diving), pay-as-you-go charter trips, quote-based workshop services, and partner-operated retail sales of marine supplies and equipment. FIMC distributes exclusively through direct on-site service delivery at its single Fujairah location, supplemented by phone, email, and WhatsApp booking channels, with the website serving as the primary marketing surface. The club functions both as a commercial marine services operator and as a government-mandated vehicle for promoting water sports and developing competitive maritime talent in the UAE.
