Where’s The Catamaran Located?

What Else Can You Do At Costa Azzurra Catamaran?

There’s also a fantastic camo-style ‘fishing cat’ catamaran. You can hire it for your fishing business. In terms of luxury amenities, it’s a little more basic than the Costa Azzurra catamaran. But it’s still incredibly elegant. It comprises an electronic joystick, Bluetooth capabilities, and four adjustable rod holders.

In addition, Costa Azzurra rents out cool stand-up inflatable paddleboards. They come in colours white, yellow, blue, orange, or black. These comparatively are far more stylish than your typical water sports gear.

Sail around Palm Jumeirah in an electric catamaran for just Dh100

Sail around Palm Jumeirah in an electric catamaran for just Dh100

Dubai Destinations: The electric catamaran service operates from The Pointe.

With the blissful winter weather upon us, UAE residents cannot get a better time than now to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy an idyllic sea trip across Palm Jumeirah in an electric Catamaran.

To access the vessel, visitors have to park their cars in the east part of The Pointe and walk towards the beach where you can rent a catamaran from Costa Azzura (‘Blue Coast’ in Italian).

Once you've done the booking, you will be given life jackets and shown how to operate a walkie-talkie which will connect visitors to attendants on the shore.

They are also shown how to link up with the onboard Bluetooth speaker so that they could listen to their own music while sailing. Alternatively, one can always enjoy the blissful sound of the gentle splashing of the waves.

No previous sailing experience needed

The two-seat catamaran has a luxurious wooden finish, minimalist and elegant interiors and is covered by a canopy. ‘ No experience in sailing is needed ’ are the six words every sailing novice wants to hear and sure enough, one of the assistants assured us while headed to our catamaran that:

“It’s really easy to operate, just like Playstation.”

We weren’t quite sure what he meant but one look at the joystick situated between the two seats explained it all.

“Just press up to go forward, down to go back, and left and right, see? Very easy!”

We were told – and it was though manoeuvering the joy stick and understanding the speed of the catamaran with respect to the wind takes a few minutes.

The journey on the sea

For the next 15 minutes or 30 minutes (our recommendation), enjoy the scenic serene atmosphere across the coastline and take photos from the sea of some of the iconic buildings on The Palm such as Atlantis The Palm, Royal Atlantis, Aquaventure, among other majestic structures. The Palm monorail also passes over the sea, above the catamaran.

“For now, we have two catamarans but later this month we are receiving four new catamarans from Italy,”

said Sachin Konga, supervisor for Costa Azzura, adding that they will be even more luxurious. Since they are powered by electricity – with no motors – the catamarans are also eco-friendly, he explained.

Costa Azzura is popular amongst tourists and residents alike. The have been operating for around a year. The service was earlier located on the west beach before moving to The Pointe. It operates all year round, but sailing is more popular during the cooler months.

“On busy days, we operate up to 20 to 30 trips per day,”

Visitors always give great feedback after their trip, added Sachin.

“They say it was very relaxing and enjoyable.”

Cost of trips

For two people, the trip costs Dh200 for 15 min and Dh350 for 30 minutes. If one decides to sail solo, the prices are Dh100 for 15 minutes and Dh175 for 30 minutes. The operating hours from 9am to 11pm.

For those who fancy the shimmering lights on the water, a night trip is also possible as the catamarans are equipped with in-built lighting

Zen Yachts

The ZEN50 is a game changer. World’s first series production catamaran equipped with a wingsail, it defines a new distinctive class of its own, where genuine zero-emission meets high comfort and performance, limitlessly. 

Designed from scratch for ZEN Yachts by award-winning naval architect Julien Mélot , this full carbon catamaran is the ultimate essence of technology driven, high performance and luxurious, eco-friendly leisure yachting. 

The blue water capable ZEN50 lightweight racing carbon hulls are combined with a huge solar roof for an unrivaled solar power vs. displacement ratio above 1:1 (18 kW / 17 tonnes), making this yacht completely energy self-sufficient. A revolutionary, fully automated, wingsail - by Ayro© - can be added as a range and speed extender. The yacht’s high capacity battery bank powers a powerful silent electric propulsion, allowing the ZEN50 to achieve 14 knots and maintain high continuous speeds in unrivaled safety and comfort, indefinitely… 

The ZEN50 is offered with or without wingsail and comes in 3 main different versions: Racer, Cruiser and Explorer, each dedicated to a different usage and owner profile. We use these versions as a basis to define a final, bespoke specification for each of our valued clients and ZEN Community Members. Scroll down for more details, specifications and prices.

electric catamaran palm jumeirah

1st WINGSAIL series production yacht in the world!

The OceanWings32 - by Ayro© - was initially developed for Team Oracle, for the America’s Cup 2010 in Valencia. Over years, it has further been developed and automated by VPLP and was installed on Energy Observer in 2019. Two years of field feedback have allowed the Ayro team to fine tune the algorithm commanding the wingsail. The ZEN50 is the first series production leisure craft to be equipped with this fully automated wingsail. It is controlled at the touch of a finger on screens, is automatically adjusted and has several safety modes and features. The two parts of the wingsail can be hoisted and lowered independently and with the simple touch of a button. The wingsail OceanWings32 is the ideal complement for the solar roof for those wishing to cruise long distances off-shore with zero-emissions.

ZEN50 wingsail and solar powered performance zero emission electric catamaran yacht by ZEN Yachts

Greatest ratio SOLAR POWER / weight on the market

At 17 tonnes lightweight and 18,000 W of peak solar power, the ratio of the ZEN50 is at over 1 kW per displaced tonne of water or beyond 1:1 which is far beyond any other blue water CE Cat A yacht in this size range. Lots of solar power for little water to displace is the strong and healthy foundation the energy self-sufficient ZEN50 is built upon.

ZEN50 wingsail and solar powered performance zero emission electric catamaran yacht by ZEN Yachts

Performance CARBON sandwich hulls

The hulls of the ZEN50 have been designed from a blank screen for ultimate efficiency - understand minimum drag or minimal energy consumption for a range of speeds from 6 to 10 knots. Their shape is aggressive, sharp and slender. Their reverse bows cut through water like a sword cuts through butter and their curvature is reminiscent of graceful dolphin bodies. These hulls are undoubtedly of the performance type and are built with the best available composites: Carbon fibre and Corecell™. The combination of high strength, low weight and performance design allow the ZEN50 to reach speeds of up to 14 knots.

ZEN50 wingsail and solar powered performance zero emission electric catamaran yacht by ZEN Yachts

INFINITE range at high CONTINUOUS speeds

With maximized solar and wind power and minimized energy consumption… the ZEN50 can sail continuously at speeds varying between 6 and 10 knots. Thorough simulations in various sea states and weather system have consistently shown the ZEN50 will be able to achieve performance catamaran speeds continuously without using a genset. With the ZEN50, the world is your oyster and the wildest destinations are within your reach with this self-reliant vessel!

ZEN50 wingsail and solar powered performance zero emission electric catamaran yacht by ZEN Yachts

True ZERO-EMISSION operation

The first ZEN50 unit, whose construction started in March 2023, will not be equipped with a genset at all and will not have any fossil fuels onboard. The ZEN50 energy system with its very large capacity 160 kWh battery bank, has been designed to function for days in complete safety with minimal solar energy harvest and no wind. It is perfectly safe with no backup genset and operates 24/7 without any polluting emissions.

ZEN50 wingsail and solar powered performance zero emission electric catamaran yacht by ZEN Yachts

NO FUEL , no costs

Naturally, requiring no fuel to operate day in day out is great news for the environment, it is also fantastic news when sailing into remote areas where fuel bunkering might be near impossible or where the fuel quality might be an issue. Finally, it also makes a massive difference in this yacht’s costs of operation. Imagine the hundreds of liters of diesel saved over just a week, the obsolete engine maintenance schedules, the clogged filters and dirty tanks from another age… Welcome to a new burden-free, energy self-sufficient era, welcome to clean and graceful eco-yachting, welcome to ZEN Yachts.

electric catamaran palm jumeirah

Highest SAFETY & reliability

At ZEN Yachts, we have made some design choices to attain energy self-reliance with the ZEN50 that reduces the habitable volume in the hulls, similar to performance catamarans. Where we have not and will never compromise is on safety. Our main voltage system is 48V making it perfectly safe to work on. The level of redundancy of the batteries and solar panels is 10! The main electrical architecture is split in 2 so that should anything happen on 1 hull, the entire vessel can still operate normally. There are 2 independent helm stations and the ZEN50 is packed with special safety features, nonsubmersible compartments and we can even offer an in-depth practical course on safety equipment usage and management. Sailing with the ZEN50 is not only exhilarating and clean, it is ultra safe!

electric catamaran palm jumeirah

Unrivaled space & COMFORT

The ZEN50 offers the speeds of a performance catamaran, the comfort of a large motor yacht and the simplicity of an electric car. No less than 2 large day beds, 3 dining areas for over 10 people, 1 professional galley and 2 wet kitchens, 5 heads, up to 4 double ensuite cabins, 1 bunk double and 1 single together with both saloon and dining areas converting into extra sleeping areas, this is simply unrivaled on a 50 ft. catamaran. Add an electric tender, dive compressor, satellite internet, 2 helm stations (cockpit and flybridge), a solar roof that converts into a gigantic upper deck to enjoy the most epic sunrises and sunsets, welcome onboard the ZEN50!

Cruise in Style on The Pointe’s Luxurious Electric Catamaran for just Dh 100

By Mala Yachts -January 20, 2023

The Pointe’s electric catamaran service has no match

UAE citizens have no better opportunity than now to escape the city and take an electric Catamaran ride over Palm Jumeirah in the beautiful winter weather.

Visitors must park in the east section of The Pointe and moreover, walk to the beach to charter a Costa Azzura catamaran (Italian for “Blue Coast”).

After booking, you’ll get life jackets and learn how to use a walkie-talkie to communicate with shore personnel.

They learn how to connect to the onboard Bluetooth speaker to play their own music while sailing. The soothing sound of waves splashing is another option.

With no sailing experience

The two-seat catamaran features a canopy, exquisite wood finish, and basic, stylish interiors. “No experience in sailing is needed,” one of the attendants said as we boarded our catamaran.

One glance at the joystick between the chairs clarified his meaning. “Just push up for forward, down for back, and left and right, see? We were told it was straightforward, but controlling the joy stick and knowing the catamaran’s wind speed took a few minutes.

For the next 15 or 30 minutes (our advice), enjoy the quiet shoreline and capture shots from the water of The Palm’s prominent buildings like Atlantis The Palm, Royal Atlantis, Aquaventure, and others. The Palm railway crosses the water over the catamaran.

Sachin Konga, Costa Azzura supervisor, said, “For now, we have two catamarans but later this month we are expecting four new catamarans from Italy.” They will be much more luxury. He said the catamarans are eco-friendly since they use energy instead of engines.

Tourists and locals love Costa Azzura. Since a year, they’ve operated. The Pointe replaced the west beach service. Sailing is more popular in winter. “On peak days, we conduct 20 to 30 trips,” he stated.

Sachin said visitors usually leave nice reviews. Like, “They enjoyed it.”

Two persons pay Dh200 for 15 minutes and Dh350 for 30 minutes. Solo sailing costs Dh100 for 15 minutes and Dh175 for 30. 9am–11pm.

Night trips are feasible on catamarans since they have illumination.
