What hours can I book?

We operate 24 hours, and trips can start between 6:00 and 23:30. Sunset and evening slots are the most popular, so book early for weekends (Saturday–Sunday in the UAE).

On board

What is included in the price?

Every private charter includes the captain and crew, fuel, soft drinks, water and ice, a sound system and life jackets. The yacht is private for your group only.

Can we bring food or order catering?

Yes. You can add a Mix Grill (AED 157 per person) or Seafood (AED 150 per person) from 12 PM, minimum 2 meals, plus fruit platters and cakes. Live BBQ, a buffet, breakfast or a chef on board are available on request — we send the menu and price on WhatsApp.

Can we decorate the yacht for a birthday or proposal?

Yes. Birthday and party packages include decoration and a cake. Extra decoration starts from AED 150, a flower bouquet is AED 200 and a photographer AED 700.

Can we swim from the yacht?

Yes — at designated swimming spots and near the islands, subject to the weather and the captain's safety decision.

Can we add water sports?

Yes. A jet ski can be added for AED 500 per hour, and a banana boat or donut ride for AED 550 per hour (water sports run until 6 PM).

Guests & safety

How many guests can a yacht take?

Our yachts take from 8 up to 100 guests, depending on the yacht.

Do guests need ID?

Yes. An original passport or Emirates ID is required for every guest, as requested by the Coast Guard for safety at sea. Please bring the original document.

Are children allowed?

Yes, families are welcome. Life jackets are on board, and children should stay with an adult on deck at all times.

Departure

Where do the yachts depart from?

From Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, depending on the yacht. We send you the exact meeting point after booking. Please arrive a little early — your time starts at the booked hour.

What will we see on the cruise?

A typical 2-hour route passes the Dubai Marina skyline, JBR beach and Ain Dubai on the way to the Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis. Longer trips allow a swim stop and a slower route.
