Before You Go
Sun protection is mandatory
UAE sun is strong—bring high-SPF sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses even on cloudy days.
Hydrate before you board
Carry water and sip frequently; alcohol may be restricted depending on charter rules and timing.
Plan for sea motion
If you’re prone to seasickness, take preventive medication or choose a mid-day sail when seas tend to be calmer.

A polarizing filter cuts glare and a dry bag protects electronics from spray during turns near the Palm.
