KUWAIT CITY, Feb 10: The Captain’s Club, the region’s largest boat club, has officially announced its launch in the State of Kuwait in partnership with Al Boom Marine, and with the support of Joan Alkuwait Marine Services and Logistics Company, marking a strategic milestone in the club’s regional expansion.

The launch forms part of The Captain’s Club’s broader growth strategy as a company owned by Easy Lease, a subsidiary of IHC, one of the region’s largest investment groups—further strengthening the club’s long-term vision and operational scale.

Founded in 2014 in the UAE, The Captain’s Club now operates a fleet of over 250 boats across more than 20 locations in the GCC, including the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The fleet includes fishing boats, speedboats, water sports boats, sailing boats, and cabin cruisers, offering diverse and premium boating experiences.

The Captain’s Club introduces an innovative model that allows members to drive boats independently after completing certified training programs, eliminating the complexities of ownership while saving over 90% compared to traditional boat ownership costs.

Commenting on the launch, Zaid Shouly, CEO of The Captain’s Club, said:

"Our entry into the Kuwaiti market represents a key milestone in our regional journey. Kuwait’s strong maritime culture aligns perfectly with our vision of making boating more accessible, seamless, and enjoyable."

Shukri Abdulaziz Almahrous, CEO of Joan Alkuwait Marine Services and Logistics Company, added:

"We are pleased to support the launch of The Captain’s Club in Kuwait. Joan Al Kuwait offers a prime location and advanced marina infrastructure, and we look forward to contributing to an elevated boating experience in the country."

With its continued expansion and strong backing, The Captain’s Club remains at the forefront of redefining boating experiences across the GCC.
