Essential FAQs

Corporate Event Planning Questions

Everything you need to know about booking private yachts and dhow charters for corporate events in Dubai.

What guest capacities can your corporate vessels accommodate?
Our fleet accommodates groups ranging from 10 to 500+ guests. For intimate executive retreats, board meetings, and VIP dinners, our 55ft to 85ft yachts host 10 to 40 passengers. For mid-sized celebrations and departmental gatherings, our 100ft to 155ft superyachts host 50 to 150 guests. For grand company galas, corporate awards ceremonies, and large MICE conventions, our grand double-decker MICE dhows host up to 500 guests with complete stage and multi-deck dining setups.
Can we host an official Corporate Awards Ceremony with stage, podium, and AV?
Yes, absolutely. We specialize in corporate awards ceremonies on water. Our vessels can be configured with central staging, an executive branded podium, wireless microphones, multi-zone sound engineering, 4K LED video displays for nominee presentations, spotlighting, red-carpet arrival backdrops, and trophy presentation stations.
What branding and personalization options are permitted on the vessels?
We provide comprehensive corporate branding. Options include company welcome flags at the marina boarding gate, red-carpet media step-and-repeat backdrops, roll-up banners on both decks, digital logo display on all interior LED screens, branded menus and napkins, company-colored ambient LED uplighting, and full or partial exterior yacht vinyl hull wraps for major product activations.
What food and beverage (F&B) catering options are available?
All catering is prepared fresh by 5-star international chefs. Menu options include gourmet canapés for networking mixers, lavish multi-cuisine buffets (Arabic, Continental, Asian) with live carving stations, silver-service multi-course plated fine dining, and open-air live BBQ grills. All meals are 100% Halal certified, and we provide customized menus for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and Jain diets.
Is alcohol permitted or served on board?
Yes. On private charters, licensed alcoholic beverage packages can be organized, and clients may also arrange maritime duty-free permits in advance. In addition, our team offers specialty non-alcoholic cocktail bars, fresh fruit mocktails, and barista coffee stations.
What sailing route do the corporate charters follow?
Our primary departures are from Dubai Harbour Marina and Dubai Marina. Standard 3 to 4-hour routes cruise past Bluewaters Island (Ain Dubai), JBR Beachfront, around the Palm Jumeirah lagoon, and past the iconic Burj Al Arab before returning. Routes can be tailored to incorporate calm anchoring spots for dinner or speeches.
Can you provide group transportation and airport/hotel transfers?
Yes. We operate an executive transport logistics department that manages luxury 50-seater tourist coaches, executive Mercedes Sprinter vans, and chauffeur-driven VIP limousines. We coordinate door-to-dock pick-ups and drop-offs from any office, hotel, or airport across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
How far in advance should we reserve a corporate charter?
For Dubai's peak corporate season (October through April), we recommend locking in your preferred vessel 3 to 6 weeks in advance to secure optimal evening sailing slots and permits. However, our responsive MICE desk also accommodates short-notice inquiries within 48 to 72 hours subject to fleet schedule.
