Rashid Yachts & Marina: the district, Fior 1 and who it suits
What kind of district Rashid Yachts & Marina is, the Fior 1 apartments available through Orven, the neighbouring Porto View by the same developer, and the buyer profile this Emaar marina district fits.
What Rashid Yachts & Marina is
Rashid Yachts & Marina is a waterfront district built by Emaar around a working marina, positioned as a newer addition to Dubai's growing list of marina addresses. For an investor in Casablanca, Lagos or Toronto, the simplest description: a purpose-built marina community from an established developer, with apartments and townhouses arranged around a promenade and landscaped podium, rather than an older, mixed-developer waterfront neighbourhood.
Everything Emaar has published for this district so far centres on the marina setting itself: a promenade, landscaped outdoor spaces and buildings facing the water. We give no travel times or infrastructure dates here, since the developer's own pages for Fior 1 and Porto View do not publish them and we only repeat what is written.
What the district feels like
Three features shape daily life at Rashid Yachts & Marina.
- A single-developer marina community. Both projects we track in this district, Fior 1 and Porto View, come from Emaar, giving the area a more coherent architectural identity than a district built up piecemeal by several developers.
- The marina as the organising feature. Buildings are arranged around the promenade and the water, with a landscaped podium connecting them, rather than towers scattered with no shared outdoor plan.
- A mix of apartments and townhouses. Between the two projects, the district offers both apartment living and, at Porto View, townhouses, a combination that widens the buyer profile the area can serve.
This points toward a marina lifestyle tenant, drawn to the promenade and the water rather than a downtown skyline or a themed inland community. That is a description of the district's character, not a promise of rental performance, and any figure attached to it should be checked against a real, signed lease.
Fior 1, and its neighbour Porto View
Fior 1 is the project we present in this district. Emaar's own materials describe one- to three-bedroom apartments in a waterfront setting combining a promenade, landscaped outdoor spaces and a marina-view infinity pool.
| Item | Published information |
|---|---|
| Developer | Emaar |
| Residences | One to three bedroom apartments |
| Payment plan | On request, confirmed by your adviser from current sales documents |
| Starting price | From AED 2.2 million* (developer-advertised starting price; current units and prices require confirmation) |
| Handover | Confirmed by your adviser |
| Amenities | Marina-view infinity pool, fitness facilities, landscaped gardens, children's play areas, multipurpose rooms, retail within the community |
The district is also home to Porto View, also by Emaar, which adds one- to three-bedroom apartments and three-bedroom townhouses across two buildings sharing a landscaped podium, advertised from AED 1.93 million*. We do not present Porto View as our primary selection here, but it widens the picture of what Rashid Yachts & Marina offers: Fior 1 for a more compact apartment entry point, Porto View for a townhouse option within the same marina community.
Both starting prices carry the developer's own asterisk: they are advertised figures, and current units and pricing require confirmation unit by unit. We pass on exactly that caveat rather than presenting either number as fixed.

Which investor Rashid Yachts & Marina suits
This district fits a fairly clear profile.
- The buyer who wants a coherent, single-developer waterfront community. Emaar's presence across both projects gives the district a consistent architectural and management approach.
- The marina-lifestyle tenant target. A promenade and marina views suit a tenant drawn to that specific setting rather than a beach or a downtown skyline.
- The buyer choosing between an apartment and a townhouse in the same area. Fior 1 and Porto View together give you that choice without leaving the district.
- The buyer comfortable with a newer, still-forming marina address. As with any recently launched district, the everyday environment around you continues to develop over time.
It is a weaker fit if your priority is an established downtown tower or the widest possible mix of developers within one district. In those cases we would point you elsewhere in our selection. Our find your home page is where to compare districts side by side. For the full detail on Fior 1's project content and starting price, see our Fior 1 by Emaar guide.
How Orven handles the purchase from abroad
A buyer in Casablanca, London or Toronto completes a purchase at Fior 1 without travelling, following the same steps as any off-plan purchase we present.
- Send your budget and preferred typology on WhatsApp at +971 52 776 1939 or by email at sales@orvenproperties.com. We reply with available units, floor plans and the exact payment schedule.
- Sign the reservation form and the sale agreement electronically. A passport copy is required.
- Transfer the booking payment to the project's escrow account, controlled by the Dubai Land Department, which the developer can draw on only against certified construction milestones.
- Pay the Dubai Land Department registration fee of 4% of the price, the Oqood registration for the off-plan sale, and Emaar's administrative fees.
- Track construction through the DLD's Project Status Enquiry service until handover, when the title deed is issued in your name.
Bank financing is possible for some non-residents, always subject to the lender's approval. There is no personal tax on rental income or capital gains in the UAE; the rules of your own country of residence may still apply, so check with an adviser there.
