We set sail from the harbour, gliding past the illuminated towers of JBR and the Marina. This is the time to enjoy welcome drinks, take photos of Ain Dubai, and settle in. The captain navigates through the initial traffic to get us closer to our holding position while the water is still relatively calm.

Q&A

Common Questions About NYE Charters

Everything you need to know about logistics and safety for December 31st.

We strongly suggest locking in your vessel by October. The most desirable yachts and prime time slots disappear quickly. Booking early guarantees you get the boat you want and allows us to organize the passenger list and logistics well before the holiday rush.

The charter fee covers the yacht, captain, crew, fuel for the designated route, water, soft drinks, and ice. You also get access to the sound system. Extras like food, DJ services, and alcoholic beverages (if applicable) are arranged separately. VAT is 5%.

Our captains navigate to specific zones designated by maritime authorities to ensure the best possible visibility of the Atlantis and Burj Al Arab displays. While we prioritize the perfect angle, safety and port traffic regulations dictate the exact holding position.

Absolutely. We adhere to strict safety protocols, including life jackets for all sizes. Many families enjoy the experience, often opting for yachts with comfortable indoor salons so children can rest while adults enjoy the deck. Just keep in mind the late finish.

You have options. We can provide full catering ranging from finger foods to buffet dinners, or you can bring your own supplies. Alcohol policies depend on the specific vessel's license and local regulations, so please check with us during booking.

Captain's orders regarding safety are final. In the rare event of adverse weather or port closures, we may adjust the route or stay within the sheltered harbor. The party goes on with music and service, ensuring you still have a fantastic celebration.
