Feedback

What Our Guests Say About NYE

Here's what people experienced on our boats last New Year's Eve.

We rented a large yacht for our group of 35, and it was honestly better than any club. The captain found an amazing spot for midnight, the drinks kept coming, and the music was perfect. No traffic headaches, just a fantastic view of the show.

Sarah Jenkins

Company Party, Dubai Harbour

We wanted something low-key for the kids and grandparents. The crew was super helpful with the food and timing. Seeing the Burj Al Arab fireworks from our own deck was magical—calm, private, and totally stress-free.

The Anderson Family

Family Charter, 85ft Yacht

I plan events for a living, so I'm picky. These guys nailed the logistics. The route was solid, boarding was easy despite the NYE chaos, and the boat was pristine. My clients were thrilled with the photos.

FAQ

Common Questions About NYE Charters

Everything you need to know about booking a boat for New Year's Eve.

The best boats and prime time slots usually disappear by October. Getting your booking in early means you get a wider choice of vessels and clear pricing. A deposit holds your spot, and we sort out the guest list and boarding details as the big night approaches.

Your rate covers the boat, the captain, crew, fuel for the night, ice, water, and soft drinks. You also get use of the sound system. Things like food, a DJ, decorations, or alcohol are extras. VAT is 5%, and tipping the crew is up to you.

Absolutely. Our captains navigate to specific zones designated by the authorities that offer excellent lines of sight for the Burj Al Arab or Atlantis displays. We aim to get there early to secure a good angle while keeping everyone safe.

Yes, provided we stay within the boat's capacity limits. We do a full safety briefing before leaving the dock, and we have life jackets for little ones. Families often like the indoor areas for a break from the noise and wind.

It depends on the boat's license, but generally, yes. We can also organize champagne and spirits for you if you prefer. The crew will manage the service to make sure everyone has a good time safely.

Your safety is the main thing. If the weather gets rough or the port closes, the captain will adjust the plan, maybe staying inside the harbor where it's calm. The party goes on aboard the yacht, and we'll still catch the fireworks if visibility allows.
