Named after its home port, the 531-foot mega yacht Dubai is the largest private yacht in the world, owned and presumably enjoyed by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of the Emirate of Dubai. You might catch a glimpse of it at the Dubai International Boat Show, taking place now through 17 March. Now in its 20th year, the event at the Marine Club promises more than 100 new exhibitors from over 24 countries.

Your Water Adventure Awaits
By Linda Tancs
Boating season is nearly underway or, in some cases, has already begun. Your water adventure awaits at Lake Powell, the majestic looking man-made lake along the Arizona/Utah border in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. Of course, you can enjoy the tranquil beauty of the lake from the comfort of your spacious lakeview room or suite at the Lake Powell Resort. Or you can commune with nature on a luxury houseboat like the 75-feet Odyssey. The $12,000 price tag may seem a little steep, but if you gather up 12 of your closest friends to fill the quarters, then that’s only $1000 per person. Hey, what are friends for?

Boating Tips for Summer
By Linda Tancs
What better way to enjoy the open skies and starry heavens in summer than to go boating. Rivers, lakes and open seas are now full of yachts, motor boats and everything in between. As with any form of transportation, boating needs to be undertaken responsibly. In addition to Mother Nature’s rip currents, hurricanes and other occurrences, operator-generated errors and omissions wreak havoc from time to time. The U.S. Coast Guard publishes responsible boating guidelines that every operator and prospective passenger should read. Ship ahoy!
