🛒⛵️ Drifting across the sparkling waters of Dubai

Carrefour’s Sailing Supermarket glides like a sun-kissed dream—its decks lined with fresh produce, golden baguettes, and the scent of possibility.

Think “Coups de soleil” by Camille Yembe playing softly in the breeze, a soundtrack of cheeky romance and summer warmth as cherry tomatoes and beach towels mingle in your basket.

The boat is more than a floating market; it’s an ode to French joie de vivre fused with Emirati innovation.

Patrons wave from jet skis, dockside cafés cheer in delight, and beneath the brilliant Gulf sun, shopping becomes a ritual of rhythm and radiance.

Whether you’re grabbing camembert or cantaloupe, it’s a scene worthy of a music video—where groceries glide, sunglasses sparkle, and every item feels like a souvenir from summer itself.

Forget checkout lines and crowded aisles—Dubai just made grocery shopping a seaside dream.

Introducing Carrefour Bites and More by the Shore, the world’s first sail-through supermarket, where snacks, sunscreen, and smiles float right to your boat.

🌊 Shopping, Reimagined

Anchored off Kite Beach, Jumeirah Public Beach, and Al Sufouh Beach, this custom-built Aqua Pod is a battery-powered floating store designed to serve jet skiers, yacht lovers, and beachgoers. With over 300 items on board—from ice cream and fresh food to over-the-counter essentials—it’s a mini mart with maximum charm2.

Small vessels can sail up and order directly at the window. Larger yachts or beach loungers? Just call or use the Aqua Pod app, and a skiff will deliver your goodies within 45 minutes3.

🌱 Eco-Friendly by Design

Created by Aquatic Architects Design Studio, the Aqua Pod is more than a novelty—it’s a sustainable innovation. It runs on rechargeable batteries, uses a seabin to vacuum floating debris, and even converts grid water into potable drinking water, eliminating the need for plastic bottles3.

Biodegradable straws, paper bags, and a commitment to clean seas make this supermarket as green as it is groundbreaking.

🛍️ A New Kind of Convenience

Open six days a week from 10am to 6pm, the Aqua Pod is redefining retail with a splash of luxury and a lot of fun. Whether you’re sunbathing or sailing, Carrefour’s floating store proves that great moments can happen anywhere—even at sea3.

🌟 Beyond the Horizon of Retail

This floating store isn’t just a clever concept—it’s a glimpse into the future of hyper-localized retail. By meeting customers where they are, Carrefour is rewriting the rules of accessibility and convenience. Whether you're craving a cold drink mid-jet ski or need sunscreen while lounging on deck, the Aqua Pod delivers with style and speed.

💡 Innovation Anchored in Experience

Majid Al Futtaim’s vision goes beyond novelty; it’s about creating memorable moments. The Aqua Pod isn’t just a store—it’s an experience that blends leisure, sustainability, and smart logistics. With its eco-conscious design and seamless delivery system, it’s setting a new standard for how brands can connect with consumers in unexpected places.

⛱️ So next time you're drifting off Dubai’s coast, look out for the sleek silhouette of the Aqua Pod. It’s not just floating—it’s redefining what it means to shop, relax, and enjoy the sea.

🧠 Hidden Insight: The Aqua Pod’s Design Was Inspired by Marine Life While most people admire the Aqua Pod for its sleek, futuristic look, few know that its design was subtly inspired by the form and movement of stingrays. According to Aquatic Architects Design Studio, the pod’s curved silhouette and low-profile structure were modeled to blend naturally with the marine environment, minimizing visual disruption and echoing the elegance of sea creatures. This biomimicry not only adds aesthetic appeal but also helps the pod remain stable in coastal waters.
