Designed by naval architects. Built by our own fabricators.
Custom aluminium vessels up to 35m, engineered and built in Umm Al Quwain.
Every Al Manzel Marine vessel starts in our own design office. We fair the hull in 3D and predict how it will perform before construction starts: the power it needs, and its speed, range and endurance on the chosen engines. Stability is checked for every loading condition, and the structure is designed to the class or GCC rules your vessel will be registered under, so you know what the boat will do, and that it can be approved, before you commit.
Our own fabricators then build it from those same drawings in our covered shed. We've delivered more than 100 vessels this way, from landing craft and oil spill response vessels to houseboats, floating venues and fishing boats. One team handles both design and build, so nothing is lost between the drawing and the boat.
Vessel types
Each type has its own portfolio of delivered boats and designs to start from. Length, layout, propulsion and fit-out can all be adapted to your requirements.
Houseboats
The UAE's original luxury houseboats, built like yachts: aluminium hulls, full interior joinery and a fit and finish few in the region can match, laid out to the owner's brief.

Emergency response
Oil spill response and firefighting vessels on fast landing-craft hulls, with fire pumps and monitors, cranes and clear deck space for booms and skimmers. Delivered in series to the energy sector, and adaptable to dedicated fire boats.

Landing craft
High-speed aluminium landing craft from 12m to 26m, exceptionally fast for their size, with some running at over 35 knots, built for supply runs to remote islands. Ramps are engineered to the load, from short beach-access ramps to heavy-duty double-fold ramps for extra reach.

Fishing boats
Sport fishing and commercial fishing boats, from 9m centre consoles to 15.5m flybridge walkarounds, plus workboats for aquaculture. High-gloss painted finishes available.

Activity boats
High-spec boats for guests and days out: landing-craft hulls with fold-down ramps for swimming and beach landings, party boats, BBQ, bar and lounge seating.
See portfolio →
Skimmers & cleaning boats
Trash skimmers and cleaning boats for ports, lagoons and waterways, with lifting debris baskets. The same hulls can be fitted with oil skimmers and booms for oil clean-up.

Floating venues
Restaurant boats, floating offices, majlis and markets on the water.
See portfolio →
Workboats
Utility, survey, pontoon and support boats.

Passenger & leisure boats
Jet boats, limousine boats, glass-bottom boats, passenger launches, and catamaran and superyacht designs.

Each step is done in-house, so the people who draw the boat answer the questions when it is built.
Concept and general arrangement
We start from your brief, or from one of our proven designs, and agree the general arrangement: length, layout, capacity, deck loads and how the vessel will be used.
Hull form and performance
The hull is modelled and faired in 3D, with hydrostatics and stability calculated for every loading condition. Resistance, speed and power are predicted for the chosen engines, along with range, endurance and fuel use at cruise.
Structure to class rules
Plating and framing are modelled in 3D and sized to recognised classification society rules for aluminium craft, or to the GCC Safety Regulations for Non-Conventional Ships for commercial craft working in Gulf waters.
Stability and approvals
Stability booklets, safety plans and approval drawings are prepared in-house for the authority or class society, so the vessel can be registered and put to work.
Photo-real renders
Before any metal is cut you see the vessel as it will be built, in high-resolution renders of the deck, interior and finish.
From flat plate to launch day
Design and build sit under one roof. Our fabricators work from our own drawings in our covered shed, so questions are answered on the spot.
