The new marina in Old Doha Port was purpose-built for the FIFA World Cup and provides 60 berths for vessels between 50 and 160 metres in length with tariffs set on a first-come-first-served basis. 

Other yachts to make to journey from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf include SilverYachts explorer Bold and Sanlorenzo flagship Attila, the latter of which took up temporary residence in Doha's artificial island named The Pearl.

The Qatari authorities appointed Inchcape Shipping Services (ISS) as the exclusive port and logistics agent to manage visiting superyachts to Doha for the duration of the event.
