What are the cost and the options available?
Luxury yacht charters can cost anywhere between 1700 AED to 20,000 AED per hour. Prices vary depending on the size of the yacht and various features included in the package. Rental packages of 1-2 hours are popular among tourists in the country. However, a 3-4-hour tour is necessary to truly enjoy the cruise in comfort. Also, the prices are subject to change based on the season.
Will there be adequate privacy on board?
Most professional tour operators have a crew that is trained to be discreet so that the customer may enjoy their trip in absolute privacy. You will not see them around so much unless you have specific requests related to food, entertainment, etc. If you let the crew know of your needs, they are sure to withdraw and offer you additional privacy.
How will the weather affect my trip?
Dubai generally does not have any bad weather days. However, if it’s one of those rare days, you choose to continue the trip on an alternate route and avoid the bad weather. If you are facing hazardous conditions such as high storms or rough seas, your operator will probably cancel the trip. Customers will be able to reschedule the trip at no additional charges.
Will I be able to use my mobile phone on board the Yacht?
If you are near the shore and if there is coverage, you will be able to use your mobile phone. However, if you are in the middle of the sea where there is no cellular coverage, then you will be limited to a satellite phone. Using a satellite phone is quite expensive and is generally reserved for emergency use only.
Are kids and pets allowed onboard?
Yes, children are allowed on board, but most tour operators do not allow pets on board.
Based on the availability, you as a customer will be able to choose the date and duration of which you book the yacht charter. However, it is always advisable that you try to book your tour in advance.
