In short: a private yacht is one of the most romantic ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Dubai — just the two of you, the sea and the city lights. In 2027, 14 February is expected to fall during Ramadan, so plan an evening cruise after iftar or celebrate after Eid. The 36 ft Oryx starts from AED 499/hour — AED 998 for 2 hours.

Valentine’s Day 2027 and Ramadan
Ramadan 2027 is expected to start around 8 February, depending on the moon sighting, so Valentine’s Day will fall during the holy month. Two easy options:
- An evening cruise after iftar — a calm, private evening on the water with the city lights.
- Celebrate after Eid — book a sunset cruise from around mid-March instead.

A Sample 2-Hour Evening for Two
- 0:00 Board at Dubai Marina. If you added roses or decoration, they are already set up.
- 0:15 Leave the Marina canal as the towers light up.
- 0:40 Slow cruise past JBR and Ain Dubai, a good moment for photos.
- 1:00 Dinner on deck or a cake, with your own music on the sound system.
- 1:30 A quiet ride back along the coast.
During Ramadan, start the cruise after iftar so the evening feels calm and unhurried. On other evenings, a start about an hour before sunset gives you golden light on the water, then the city lights on the way back. Choose 3 hours if you want dinner without rushing.
What a Valentine’s Cruise Costs
| Plan | Calculation | Total |

| Simple and sweet: 36 Ft Oryx, 2 hours, flowers and cake | 2 × AED 499 + AED 200 + AED 150 | AED 1,348 |

| Jacuzzi night: 82 Ft Paradise, 2 hours, flowers and decoration | 2 × AED 1,149 + AED 200 + AED 150 | AED 2,648 |
Every yacht is private, so the price stays the same whether you are two or invite a few friends.
How to Book for 14 February

- Add flowers (AED 200), decoration (from AED 150), a cake (AED 150) or a photographer (AED 700) to the booking.
- Tell us on WhatsApp if you plan a surprise or a proposal, so the crew keeps everything hidden until the right moment.
- Bring an original passport or Emirates ID for both of you.
