Dockwise Yacht Transport’s (DYT) super ship, Yacht Express, will transport a shipload of luxury yachts for the Dubai International Boat Show and the inaugural Abu Dhabi Yacht Show, set for March 3-7 and March 12-14, respectively. The largest vessel of its kind in the world, Yacht Express is 687.5-feet (209 meters), a length almost two-thirds the height of Dubai’s iconic Burj Al Arab (Tower of the Arabs). “This will be the first time Yacht Express has visited the United Arab Emirates (UAE),” said Clemens van der Werf, president of DYT, which is based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. “It sends a strong message in support of Dubai’s and Abu Dhabi’s initiatives to develop the UAE as an international yachting destination, which includes world-class marinas and unrivaled opportunities for sport fishing, yacht racing and cruising.” Yacht Express will leave Ft. Lauderdale early January 2009, adding boats in Rotterdam and Genoa before arriving in Dubai at the end of February. The ship will then reverse its route after the shows, with a stop in Genoa set for early April and arrival back in Ft. Lauderdale due for mid-April.
