At the outset of the meeting, the Chairman welcomed attendees and congratulated them on the qualitative achievements accomplished in 2025, which contributed to strengthening the Club’s position as a leading institution in marine sports at both regional and international levels.
The Board reviewed the Club’s annual achievements report for 2025, which highlighted a series of notable successes, most notably the academic partnership and local manufacturing project that resulted in the production of the “Sharjah Boat” at the Club’s workshops by national hands, in cooperation with the University of Sharjah and the American University of Sharjah. This milestone reflects the emirate’s vision to support innovation and localise specialised marine industries.
In terms of events and organisation, the Club successfully organised and hosted more than 80 diverse events and championships, including major marine festivals such as the Khorfakkan Marine Festival and Sir Bu Nair Festival, which attracted wide public turnout and contributed to boosting marine tourism.
On the sporting front, the Club’s teams—particularly the Formula 1 powerboat team and the XCAT team—achieved honourable results in international championships. The Club also supervised the organisation of numerous local championships across various modern and heritage marine sports.
The Club also recorded a strong international presence through participation in more than 20 international events across ten countries, contributing to the positive representation of the UAE and strengthening its position on the global marine sports stage.
As part of its community and environmental responsibility, the Club implemented several sustainability initiatives and environmental awareness campaigns in cooperation with educational institutions and universities, supporting marine protection and promoting a culture of sustainability.
In the area of human resources development, the Club continued its efforts to qualify national talents through specialised training programmes, summer camps, and development courses across various cities of the Emirate of Sharjah.
During the meeting, the Board discussed strategic plans and future directions for 2026, aimed at continuing the journey of excellence, strengthening strategic partnerships, and supporting Sharjah’s vision as a global destination for marine sports and maritime heritage.
For his part, Khalid Jassim Al Midfa expressed pride in the achievements accomplished in 2025, affirming that these successes are the result of collective teamwork, continuous support from the wise leadership, and the dedicated efforts of national cadres.
He noted that 2025 represented a bright milestone in the Club’s journey, marked by major events, distinguished international representation, the pioneering national achievement of manufacturing the “Sharjah Boat”, and the implementation of sustainable environmental initiatives reflecting the Club’s commitment to its community role.
He concluded by affirming the Club’s continued commitment to its community and environmental role and to strengthening partnerships with academic institutions and government entities, in support of its future objectives and in further consolidating its leadership in the marine sector.
