How Ecocoast Events Brings the UAE’s Biggest Marine Events to Life
Ecocoast marine events in the UAE

When it comes to marine events, especially fireworks celebrations like UAE National Day and New Year’s Eve, every detail counts. Ecocoast Events specializes in marine services and floating pontoon solutions that turn ambitious event visions into reality. From planning and government approvals through to engineering temporary floating infrastructure, installation, manpower supply and equipment removal, we deliver the complete package.

Our marine events team knows that temporary event infrastructure must be robust, quickly deployable, safe and highly adaptable. That means detailed risk assessments, tight deadlines, well‑coordinated project management and built-in contingency plans. With the team’s technical know‑how and our modular pontoon systems, we’re able to customize and adapt to any event requirement. On time, every time.

Modular floating pontoon solutions

Our modular floating pontoons are the core of our marine events offering. We assemble them in all kinds of shapes and sizes, allowing quick installation and removal and a wide variety of surface and accessory options. Examples are: timber or steel decking, handrails, ladders, bollards, and marine-grade finishes like carpet or ply.

Key features and benefits of our floating pontoons include:

✅ Superior flotation and stability
✅ Firm slip‑resistance for movement and safety
✅ Extreme durability in challenging marine conditions

These pontoons form the perfect platform for anything from a fireworks display to a floating stage or exclusive waterfront activation.

From National Day to New Year’s Eve: Our fireworks experience

Since 2014, Ecocoast Events has managed the complete marine works for major New Year’s Eve fireworks across multiple prestigious UAE locations, including Downtown Dubai, Atlantis The Palm, Corniche Abu Dhabi and Al Majaz Waterfront in Sharjah.

We’re proud to have contributed to some of the world’s most ambitious celebrations. One of the standout moments was our involvement in Ras Al Khaimah’s 2019 New Year’s Eve fireworks. It achieved two Guinness World Records. One for the Longest Chain of Fireworks (spanning over 4.6 km) and one for the Longest Straight-Line Fireworks Display (stretching 13.002 km).

This record-breaking spectacle required over 250 floating platforms to be precisely positioned along the coastline. The robust and stable pontoons designed and installed by Ecocoast Events provided the foundation for this extraordinary show, proving our capability to deliver flawless, large-scale marine infrastructure under tight deadlines.

Beyond the fireworks: A snapshot of our diverse marine event experience

Our portfolio spans grand-scale national celebrations to boutique waterfront activations for luxury brands, hospitality and entertainment venues:

Concerts and entertainment: Providing floating stages for high-profile concerts, including Dua Lipa and Enrique Iglesias at The Pointe. “The support from the team was great,” said a representative from Flash Entertainment (now Ethara).

Fashion and luxury: Supporting unique activations for a Chanel fashion event, Miami Vibes and Santos de Cartier at Dubai Mall.

Sporting spectacles: Infrastructure for events like the World Parachuting Championship, Red Bull Air Race World Championship and Red Bull Flugtag events.

Commercial and lifestyle: Solutions for events such as Splash Yas Marina, Mother of the Nation (MOTN) events in Abu Dhabi, and popular Barasti open water parties.

Most recently, we completed our first turnkey marine event project in Saudi Arabia, delivering event infrastructure for the grand opening of Sindalah Island. It is a luxury seahorse-shaped destination in NEOM. This marked a new chapter for Ecocoast’s regional expansion in marine event solutions.

Why marine events require specialized expertise

Large‑scale celebrations over water bring unique challenges:

Tight timelines: Very tight deadline management and teamwork are mission-critical.
Risk and safety: Marine conditions, floating platforms, pyrotechnics, public access all need rigorous planning and management.
Customization: Every event is different – shape of water‑front, sea conditions, access, viewing angles, platform shapes.
Coordination: Marine logistics, event logistics, government approvals, manpower, equipment supply, removal – all under one roof.

And what’s more, marine events also often require more than just floating pontoons. We provide complete on-water solutions, from temporary floating barriers and swimming enclosures to boats for film and media projects. Our team also supplies safe navigation solutions and on-site operators to ensure everything runs safely and smoothly.

That’s what makes Ecocoast Events the go-to partner for high-profile celebrations across the region.

Looking forward: Making every marine celebration exceptional

As celebrations in the UAE and KSA become ever more ambitious (think drone‑pyro combos, larger platforms, more complex logistics, better security), the role of marine infrastructure is only going to grow. Ecocoast Events is positioned to support these experiences with turnkey marine works that combine engineering precision, safety and creativity.

Whether it’s a spectacular fireworks display for National Day, an electrifying New Year’s Eve show, or a bespoke waterfront activation, our floating platform solutions and event‑ready services ensure nothing is left to chance.
