Announced in December 2012, Yas Marina's redevelopment plans, will add a new dimension to the already popular waterside destination, with new licensed food and beverage venues offering large terraces with panoramic views of the marina, a pedestrianized promenade, an interactive musical fountain and a children's playground.
"This is a very exciting time at Yas Marina," said Cedric Le Rest, General Manager at Yas Marina. "With our redevelopment set for completion later this year, this year's annual Race Week berth rates will offer marine and motorsport fans an even more memorable experience, both on and off the water."

"While it is undoubtedly a very glamorous event, many people may not realise that Race Week berths are also very accessible for boats of all sizes" added Le Rest. "We offer an unrivalled level of customer service at Yas Marina and thanks to our new look, coupled with our extremely competitive Race Week and annual berth rates, we are confident that we will continue to drive interest across a wide segment of marine enthusiasts."
