A day on a private yacht
A yacht of your own from Dubai Marina or Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi. A swim at sea, lunch on deck and the sunset over the water.
Dubai · The United Arab Emirates
The experience
For a day of real ease, take a private yacht out of Dubai Marina or from Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. You glide past the man-made islands and see Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah from an entirely different angle.
On board you dine well, or simply rest at sea as the sun goes down. We shape the day as you wish: a quiet few hours of cruising, or a full day with a stop to swim in clear water far from the shore, and a chef on board serving fresh seafood or an Arabic menu.
The yacht is yours alone. The crew can be all-male, or the day set up for a family with children, with life jackets in every size. For occasions, we dress the yacht for an anniversary or a honeymoon surprise, with flowers, a cake and a photographer.
In Abu Dhabi, the yacht leaves Yas Marina for calm islands and mangroves, a quieter choice than Dubai for those who want only the sea.
