“We contacted Eden Yachting to buy our first sailing yacht a few weeks. ago. We got to know the owners – Philippe and Jane – in this occasion. They have been extremely transparent, clear and supportive throughout the full process of yacht selection, negotiation, transaction and post sales service. As a matter of fact, their post sales assistance is unmatchable: they have been supporting us step by step in getting all documentation in order, in knowing our boat and using it in the best possible way. We have realized Philippe and Jane are extremely well known for over one decade in the Dubai sailing community. We can get tens of references about them. They are lovely people, outstanding professionals, extremely passionate about their job and committed to deliver the best possible service to their customers. We cannot recommend them enough. If you want to stop dreaming about sailing and start living your dream, ring Eden Yachting – the service you will find will be truly exceptional.”

“We would just like to take the time to thank you and all at Eden Yachting for brokering the purchase and delivery of our Dufour 382 SV Mojo back in November 2017 with delivery in February 2018. We were very happy with the whole process and the guidance and support we received was super. It was a seamless and enjoyable process from day one and still is today. In addition, the after sales service that we have received from Eden has been beyond expectations. you gave us full support on a replacement boom and other warranty parts. We have been very grateful to have you and your team operating in the UAE. It was the deal breaker for us. We could highly recommend Eden Yachting and Dufour to anyone who is considering buying a boat.”

Thanks to Eden Yachting, the process has been extremely easy and every step off the way has been dealt with professionally and with great transparency. Philippe and Jane’s professional and personalised service has been outstanding. When we are looking to source our next used boat in the UK in the near future, we know that we will be able to call on Eden Yachting to help us out again with the process.”
Patricia T. (Archambault Surprise)
“We have known Philippe and Jane for many years through the sailing community in Dubai so when it came for time to leave the Middle, East Eden Yachting was our choice of agent to sell our old boat and look to choosing our new one to be based in Europe. Having successfully sold ‘Dream On’ in Dubai we took delivery of ‘Dream On (too) ‘ a Dufour 412 in Antibes in April 2019. Eden Yachting were fantastic, Jane and Philippe were so supportive to us throughout the delivery and launch. Commissioning snags were dealt with effectively, even one or two that cropped up several months after launch. We are delighted with the boat, she is very comfortable and a pleasure to sail. We are looking forward to cruising the Mediterranean aboard her for the next few seasons.”
Chris and Jill O’C. (Dufour 412 Grand Large)
“Eden Yachting not only was involved and paramount in selling my Hanse 575 sailing yacht, but if I ever want to buy a new one, I will only deal with them. Above all, pleasant, friendly, supportive and ethical.”
Ramzi C. (Hanse 575)
“You were so attentive during the purchase, during handover and in the time we have had the yacht. You have continued to be inclusive with the community of sailors and especially Dufour sailors that has really helped the sailing community within the Middle East and Europe. You “celebrate” sailing and go out of your way to embrace all. Dufour is lucky to have such an ambassador.”
Shaun & Emmeline K. (Dufour 382 Grand Large)
“I’d just like to send a few words of appreciation for all the help and assistance given during my recent purchase of an Oceanis 40. Working with Philippe was very easy as he quickly understood what I was looking for and I couldn’t be more delighted with the boat he secured for me. He also guided me through the registration process, which can be a little daunting for a first time buyer in the UAE and I was out sailing in what seemed no time at all. I’m looking forward to sailing with Eden Yacht Club and am appreciative of the introductions made to the Dubai sailing community. A great bunch of people!”
Steve M. (Beneteau Oceanis 40)
“We have been using Eden Yachting for many years to organize our charter holidays and most recently to sell our Beneteau Oceanis 323 and buy a new Dufour 412 Grand Large. Eden Yachting is an extremely professional company always willing to go the extra mile and provides first class after sales service. We would have no hesitation in recommending Eden Yachting to future customers.”
Ruth and John C. (Dufour 412 Grand Large)
“Having bought two sailing boats and sold one in the UAE over the last few years, and with the first being my first boat, working with an established company like Eden Yachting made all the difference. Whether in the initial considerations, the selection of boat, the viewing and test sail – through to the survey, negotiations, closure of contract and the subsequent registration, marina formalities and insurance, as well as the after-sale advisory and assistance. With Eden Yachtings extensive knowledge, contacts and experience of a local market like the UAE, the decision to buy or sell is made with the confidence that professional help and advise is at hand at any point during the process of buying, owning or seller a sailing boat.”
Lars L. (Beneteau Oceanis 40)
“My first meeting with Philippe and Eden Yachting started at the Dubai Pre-owned Boat Show in 2014 and has evolved since then with Eden Yachting helping me selling my Beneteau Oceanis 34 (“Ombak Putih”) in Dubai and chosing my future boat for retirement. I ended up buying a new Dufour 412 Grand Large (Altair) and delivered in Barcelona. Philippe and Jane has been very helpful in remotely obtain all the documentation and prepare the boat to sail down to Fuengirola. Despite the distance, improvements and repairs were carried out with the support of Eden Yachting. A door to door service that covers all aspects of the boating services with vessel documents, Customs & Shipping, planning, radio licenses, pre-reception testing, surveys and after sales support. Philippe’s service mind has created the Eden Yacht Club (social sailing community) which has a mine of experiences and support spanning across the globe from Asia to Europe.”
Paul M. (Dufour 412 Grand Large)
“I had a fantastic time at the Dubai Boat Show back in 2018, speaking for more than three hours with Philipe Saad, a passionate person, sharing our sailing dreams and experiences. It was an eye opener for me that day and I discovered the Dufour 520 Grand Large. Later on during our visit to the shipyard in La Rochelle, with the Eden Yachting team, we had the chance to see how the yachts are built and met the shipyard management and employees. Eden Yachting are professional people and enthusiastic about sailing. They took care of everything from A to Z and my wife and I enjoyed working with them and sharing our sailing experiences. We met the first time as clients and we ended up being friends, sailing the Mediterranean together for over 2000 nautical miles in the summer of 2019 from the South of France until the North Adriatic. I do really recommend Eden Yachting – it is rare to find a dealer so passionate about sailing.”
