Club Members can enjoy cruising along Dubai's coastline, fishing expeditions in the UAE's islands, and island-hopping adventures in Abu Dhabi. This is the only boat club in the UAE with an in-house RYA Training Institute, Xclusive Sea School that provides training opportunities for those wishing to obtain their boating license, discounts on select services and products, and exclusive invitations to special events. Boat clubs have emerged as the perfect solution for individuals passionate about boating but wishing to avoid the hassles and expenses associated with owning a boat. One of the key benefits of joining a boat club is its significant cost savings. Owning a boat entails considerable investment, berthing costs, maintenance fees, and insurance expenses. In contrast, boat club members pay a monthly or annual fee, gaining access to a fleet of boats without the burdens of outright ownership. So, whether you seek an escape from your daily routine or simply want some fun on the water this summer season, don't miss out on this amazing opportunity! Sign up now at xclusiveboatclub.com for six months of free membership and get ready to explore all that Xclusive Boat Club has to offer – including its collection of over 40 different types of boats - at no extra cost!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Xclusive BC at none against Etihad's shown. Xclusive BC also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.0). Etihad's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and chart position (#204 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
