4. Where do yachts typically depart from in Dubai?

Dubai Yacht Party yachts depart from Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour Marina, with departures available 24 hours a day. Both marinas give quick access to Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab.

5. How far in advance should I book a yacht?

Dubai Yacht Party yachts depart 24 hours a day, and the team replies on WhatsApp at +971 56 264 3359 in about 60 seconds on average, so availability for any date can be checked straight away. Weekends, public holidays and New Year’s Eve fill up first, so booking those dates early gives the widest choice of yachts and time slots.

Yachts of 50 to 65 feet take 15 to 25 guests, yachts of 70 to 95 feet take 33 to 65 guests, and superyachts of 100 to 140 feet take 50 to 150 guests.

In many cases, yes — guests may bring their own food and non‑alcoholic drinks, although catering packages and professional services are often available. Regulations for alcohol vary and should be confirmed with your provider.

8. What happens if the weather is bad?

If weather conditions are unsafe for sailing, most companies offer rescheduling or full refunds; safety is prioritized and charters may be canceled without penalties in hazardous conditions.

Yes, swimming is usually allowed at calm and safe designated spots, with crew supervision and necessary safety equipment such as life jackets provided on board.

Comfortable attire is recommended — swimwear, sunglasses, light cover‑ups for daytime trips; smart casual outfits for evening or sunset cruises. Sunscreen and hats are also advised.

13. Do I need specific documents to board?
