About Yas Island Seaplane Base
Yas Island Seaplane Base is a small seaplane facility on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, used mainly for scenic seaplane tours and charter flights. Situated at Yas Marina, it provides aerial sightseeing over Abu Dhabi and the Arabian Gulf coastline and supports seaplane connections toward Dubai.
Located about 25 km from central Abu Dhabi, the base sits within one of the emirate's main leisure districts, close to Ferrari World Abu Dhabi, Yas Waterworld, Warner Bros. World Abu Dhabi, Yas Marina Circuit, hotels, and the marina. Its waterside position allows aircraft to take off and land directly on the marina.
As a seaplane base rather than a conventional commercial airport, it has a compact passenger setup with check-in and boarding at the marina. Travelers typically reach it by taxi, private transfer, rental car, or hotel shuttle, and it is also within easy reach of Abu Dhabi International Airport.
The base supports small-group scenic flights and charter services, offering convenient access to Yas Island's attractions and onward travel around Abu Dhabi and toward Dubai.
