Hi all, I would like to learn sailing and do some watersports like kayaking and jet sky.

Where is the best place in Doha to enrol for such activities?
Any idea of the fee?

I agree with other posts the Doha Sailing club is great - nice idea to leave the Jet skis at home

The Doha Sailing club is located when you come from the Mariott back to Doha, it is the first gate on your right on the mainroad, immediately after the Mariott roundabout. Go down to the clubhouse & inquire there. (Big parking in front)

When I visited Doha I've been at the Sailing Club and it is really cheap compared to European costs. For about 2000 QR per year you can access to the Club and use the Lasers and 470 boats. I suppose they can offer also lessons, but with the quite wind that blow in Doha it is really easy to learn. Actually I hate the noisy and polluted jet sky, so my suggestion is lear to sail and you will never live without.

Cheers from Italy!

To my understanding there is a Sailing club in the Ritz-Carlton/ Diplomatic club area. You might want to try it in there.

As per Jetskiing may be go aside to Intercon and there you can rent a jetski either for 1/2 hr or 1 hr and have some fun.

Best of luck....regards
