N 31°10′ · River Ravi · Pakistan
Pakistan’s family-built boat club on the Ravi. Parasails at golden hour, jet skis through open water, and slow sunrise drifts — forty-three kilometres from the city.
01 — The Club
Lahore Marina opened in 2010 as the only club on the river built around the people who'd never stepped onto a boat. We chose Head Baloki because it is, simply, the only place near Lahore with water enough to learn properly — and slowly.
Pakistan has long known how to swim. It has not, until now, known how to sail. We are a youth organisation working to change that — through lessons, through rescue training, and through mornings spent watching the sun lift off the water before anyone else has arrived.
02 — On the water
Lift off at golden hour for the best vantage of the Ravi. Strapped into a tandem rig and lifted by a steady speedboat below.
Brief, exhilarating, all yours. Take the wheel of a 90hp speedboat under the watchful eye of a club instructor.
Solo throttle across open water. A single-rider Yamaha jet ski, fuelled and briefed. Carve your own line down the Ravi.
Bring a co-pilot and share the throttle. Our two-seater jet ski carries a rider and a passenger, fuelled and briefed.
The classic introduction to the Ravi. Five kilometres downriver and back, captained by a Marina pilot, spotting river wildlife.
Bring the laughter — and your grip. Up to six guests astride an inflatable banana, towed in a wide arc by a speedboat.
“There is something in the morning here — before the engines start — that feels older than any of us.”
— From the Marina journal, Vol. XII
