In August 2022, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yacht Management</a> was founded in Dubai, UAE, by Ian Harris, who assumed the helm as CEO. He was later joined by Yousuf Al Hashimi, who serves as both Managing Director and Partner.&nbsp;Harris has a rich background in the maritime world beginning his career in the Royal Navy, followed by significant roles in the oil and gas industry, before transitioning to the superyacht sector. His professional journey in the superyacht industry includes serving as the Head of Operational &amp; Technical Division at leading yacht management companies before establishing <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yacht Management</a>.<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> Features Writer Enrico Chhibber sat down with Ian Harris to delve into the origins and evolution of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yacht Management</a>.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331419/image/large-17785d7a8429a272638061d6b46f000a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331419">Could you explain your decision to establish&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yachts</a>&nbsp;and why you chose to locate your company in Dubai, UAE?The decision to establish <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yacht Management</a> was driven by my extensive experience in managing and operating some of the most renowned yachts in the industry. A couple of years ago I found myself in a position where I was perhaps lucky enough to join any other management company. However, I believed I could do better, as I saw an opportunity to innovate and enhance existing yacht management services. So I decided to start over by gathering together a team of highly skilled ex-colleagues from various sectors of the industry and create a new yacht management company to provide high-value services to serious clients worldwide. With over a decade of experience in the super yachting sector, I embraced this new challenge, which was far more challenging than anything I had previously undertaken and something I had never envisioned doing.As for the decision to be headquartered in Dubai, it was a result of several factors. Firstly, there was clearly a gap in the market for quality yacht management services in the region, which is supported by the rapidly developing maritime infrastructure and the increasing number of ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) coming to the UAE. The existing saturation of yacht management and brokerage firms in Western Europe also played a crucial role in my decision. While there are some satellite offices here, there is a notable absence of independent and bespoke management companies specifically dedicated to serving this region.&nbsp;Additionally, my familiarity with the UAE further influenced my decision to base <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix</a> in Dubai. My previous commercial career and experience with several large superyachts, allowing me to establish strong roots and a deep understanding of the region. This local knowledge and experience positioned us to better serve our clients and capitalise on the unique opportunities available in the UAE.How has&nbsp;<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix</a>&nbsp;evolved since its inception?Since its inception, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix</a> has experienced substantial growth in its service offerings. Our portfolio has significantly increased over the last year, now including superyachts from renowned shipyards around the world, such as <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/18" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Amels (Company)">Amels</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/54" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Heesen Yachts (Company)">Heesen</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/955" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Gulf Craft (Company)">Gulf Craft</a>, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/23" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Lürssen Yachts (Company)">Lürssen</a>, and others. Initially focused on yacht management, the company has rapidly expanded into charter and sales. We are currently enlarging our Sales and Charter teams and are actively developing our New Build services. We are overseeing a major project and are in negotiations for a larger vessel, with additional plans to construct a large explorer catamaran.Additionally, there was a significant change in the organisational structure last year when I formed a partnership with Yousuf Al Hashimi during a yacht charter in the Caribbean. Following several discussions, Al Hashimi, intrigued by the superyacht sector and passionate about maritime activities, including participation in sailing regattas such as Cowes Week, decided to join <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yachts</a> as a Partner and Managing Director. Coincidentally, Al Hashimi's first major engagement in the superyacht industry with <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix</a> occurred at last year's <a href="http://superyachttimes.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="">SuperYacht Times</a> event in Abu Dhabi.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331435/image/large-dc49849ed4ab1ef0fac2903b7eecfe11.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331435">Do you believe the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf region will soon rival the Caribbean as the premier winter cruising destination?In terms of charter volume and thinking in a slightly larger arena, I do not envision the Red Sea and Arabian Gulf region directly competing with the Caribbean, where places like St. Barts are traditional and busy hotspots for luxury charter holidays, offering more entertainment and infrastructure.Instead, the Red Sea, known for its natural beauty and adventure charters, particularly for scuba diving, offers a different kind of experience. The journey further extends to the Arabian Gulf, presenting a unique winter destination. The Gulf region's combination of an ideal climate, modern infrastructure, luxury lifestyle, cultural richness, and high-quality services makes it an exceptional superyacht destination.The Greater gulf region provides a unique type of adventure for those looking to try and explore new waters. This unique and distinctly different experience makes it difficult to compare the two regions directly.However, in terms of the amount of yachts in the region, I believe we will soon be able to compete with the Caribbean. As a result of continued government investments in marine infrastructure, such as those in <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7371" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="NEOM (Company)">NEOM</a> in Saudi Arabia and that ongoing in the UAE, it is expected that more yacht owners will choose to station their vessels in the region, thereby increasing demand for quality yacht management services in the region.Moreover, there is an increasing need for high-end maintenance facilities in the Middle East to support the anticipated rise in superyachts. While such facilities are currently limited, regional authorities are actively working to address this gap. Recent updates to yacht charter regulations in the UAE demonstrate a commitment to advancing the yachting industry. <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix</a>, alongside other key local stakeholders, has been a leading advocate for these developments.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331235/image/large-19425dc3700cb1849fe75cd8bbf4e154.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331235">How many of your clients are Middle Easterners versus Europeans, and how do the preferences of your Middle Eastern clients differ from those of Western clients?As for the demographic of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/7335" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Phoenix Yacht Management (Company)">Phoenix Yacht Management</a>'s clientele, our client base is currently evenly split between Middle Easterners and Europeans. However, we are increasingly focusing on the domestic UAE market.&nbsp;This dynamic is evolving as the Middle East is a booming region. Over the last 10 years, the region has completely transformed. You can see ultra luxury developments in the marinas, hotels, restaurants plus then the rich array of museums and large international events. This change is not limited to Dubai; there has been significant infrastructure development in the rest of UAE, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. This of course affected the regional yacht market.&nbsp;Previously, the largest superyachts (over 90-metres) were predominantly owned by Middle Eastern clients, while those ranging from 40 to 80-metres were more commonly chartered. Now, with regional developments and changes in marine law, more Middle Eastern clients are purchasing yachts in this size range. Furthermore, they expect these vessels to be managed to the highest standards, similar to the quality they have experienced with chartered yachts.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/331344/image/large-c539c32432670c0f2f2da27a9a25c29a.png" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/331344">This article was originally published in the 50th issue of the SuperYacht Times Newspaper,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.superyachttimes.com/newspaper/newspaper-issue-50" target="_blank">available for download here.</a>

The Mumbai Port Authority (MPA) now intends to self-fund its planned marina, according to local media sources. This newly announced plan moves away from the earlier proposal, to build on land through a public-private partnership (PPP) model.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301383/image/large-60a90e3bd064fe7a4c5f69f5dc3ef4ea.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301383">Initially, MPA sought to develop and manage the marina at the port's Princess Dock via a PPP for 45 years. Despite two tender processes, with adjusted bid terms, the efforts failed to attract bidders. In the local press, Rajiv Jalota, chairman of Mumbai Port Authority, stated: "We are not developing it on land; we are developing it in the sea. Studies are at a very advanced stage and clearances should come through." He also confirmed that the project would proceed as an Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) project led by the port authority.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301381/image/large-3dddde666d08c1d21632d4a8a1e83fd4.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301381">The Managing Director and Owner of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1372" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="West Coast Marine (Sea Waif) (Company)">West Coast Marine Yacht Services Pvt Ltd</a>, Aashim Mongia commented, "This is a welcome step and a move in the right direction. As a stakeholder, we hope that the Mumbai Port Authority provides a sufficient land parcel alongside the marina for the development of world-class facilities and amenities. It is also essential that the marina maintains a 5-metre all-time draft to accommodate yachts over 30-metres in length."Unique geography and history&nbsp;The proposed site lies within the historic confines of Princess Dock and Victoria Dock, established in the 18th century during British rule. Facing limitations in expanding its cargo handling due to the typical evacuation challenges of a city-based port, MPA has opted to repurpose the waterfront for leisure and urban uses. This aligns with broader plans to regenerate Mumbai's waterfront.South Mumbai, where most of the port's land is situated, is one of the nation's most valuable locales. The planned marina is set to cater to a significant influx of luxury yachts. Currently, despite India's extensive coastline exceeding 7,500 kilometres, there are very few facilities for mooring luxury yachts. The existing infrastructure forces yacht owners to use inconvenient and inadequate makeshift arrangements near iconic sites like the Gateway of India.Attracting more yachts to the Mumbai areaJitendra Rami, Director of <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/1372" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="West Coast Marine (Sea Waif) (Company)">West Coast Marine Yacht Services Pvt Ltd</a> and M2M Ferries, stated that the Mumbai Port Authority has already conducted the first round of stakeholder consultations, which I attended, for the marina. Planned for a location outside the Princess and Victoria Docks, this marina will be situated adjacent to Cross Island, directly in front of the docks. The MPA is expected to conduct another round of stakeholder consultations soon. The establishment of a marina in Mumbai has been a longstanding demand of the industry, and we hope that this project will soon come to fruition.The development aims to transform the local economy by enhancing the area's appeal to tourists and yacht owners. With around 200 leisure boats typically moored near the Gateway of India due to the lack of dedicated marina facilities, the new marina aims to provide a world-class berthing option, equipped with comprehensive marina services. This initiative is not only expected to promote urban growth but also to open up new avenues for sea-based tourism.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/301382/image/large-72b2ec6789cf2c5339b5fdeacca2efb3.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/301382">
