FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about our Dubai Canal yacht charters.

Typically, our trips begin and end in Business Bay for immediate access to the canal. However, we can arrange pickups from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour if you book extra time for the transit. We will provide the exact berth location and a Google Maps pin upon confirmation.

Swimming is strictly prohibited within the Dubai Water Canal and Business Bay areas due to local regulations. These routes are purely for sightseeing and relaxation. If you wish to swim, please request a sea route starting from the Marina.

The bridges, including the Waterfall Bridge, operate on specific schedules that can change. We plan your itinerary to align with these opening times to ensure a smooth journey. Your captain will manage the timing so you get the best views without delays.

The hourly rate covers the private yacht, a licensed captain and crew, fuel for the canal itinerary, fresh towels, and soft drinks. You also get a high-quality sound system and full insurance coverage. Extras like food or decorations are available upon request.

A dhow cruise is usually a shared experience with a fixed buffet and schedule. Our service is a private yacht charter where you rent the entire boat for your group. You control the music, the company, and the vibe, making it far more exclusive.

Safety is our priority. If port authorities restrict sailing due to weather, we will reschedule your trip for free or provide a full refund. For non-weather related changes, you can cancel without penalty up to 48 hours before your booking.
