AAA Marine Named Exclusive Ferretti Dealer in UAE and Oman

AAA Marine has been appointed as the exclusive dealer for Ferretti Group in the UAE and Oman, a partnership formalized at a signing ceremony held at the Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi on January 6, 2026. AAA Marine, created through a strategic merger between Al Otaiba Investment and RIC Holding, will represent Ferretti Yachts, Riva, Pershing, and Itama across the two Gulf nations.

The agreement signals a notable expansion of luxury yachting services in the region and aligns with Abu Dhabi’s Maritime Tourism Strategy and the Abu Dhabi 2030 Tourism Vision. Ferretti Group’s CEO Alberto Galassi welcomed the partnership and described the UAE and Oman as dynamic markets, reflecting the company’s intention to deepen its presence on the Arabian Peninsula.

AAA Marine has committed to developing supporting infrastructure and services aimed at reinforcing the Gulf as a year-round yachting hub. The firm’s stated priorities include expanding berthing options, increasing maintenance and after-sales capacity, and delivering luxury marine lifestyle solutions. For owners and prospective buyers, that means improved local access to Ferretti-branded vessels and stronger regional support networks for routine servicing and larger refit work.

Although Ferretti Group’s core lineup centers on monohull luxury brands, the appointment will affect the broader multihull and yachting community. Dealers and service providers influence marina allocations, skilled labour availability, and supply chains; increased investment in berthing and maintenance capacity can relieve pressure on existing facilities and raise service standards for all vessel types. Brokers will find an expanded inventory and clearer pathways for sales and ownership transitions, while crew, technicians, and suppliers can anticipate demand for specialized skills tied to Ferretti platforms.

Local marinas and charter operators may see short- and medium-term impacts as AAA Marine rolls out infrastructure plans. Expect competition for prime berths as new brand-support berthing is negotiated, and a potential uptick in luxury-focused charter offerings that leverage the Ferretti, Riva, Pershing, and Itama nameplates. For Oman and the UAE, the move enhances the case for year-round cruising and positions the region to attract higher-value visitors and events.

The appointment of AAA Marine as exclusive Ferretti dealer marks a practical shift in the Gulf yachting landscape. Owners, brokers, marina operators, and service providers should track AAA Marine’s rollout schedules and local berth and maintenance developments to take advantage of expanded services and to plan for evolving market dynamics.
