Private Luxury Yacht Rental in Dubai Marina — 2-Hour Charter to Palm & Burj Al Arab

The Experience
Before You Go
Time your cruise for cooler light
Book early morning or late afternoon to avoid the strongest sun and capture softer light on Burj Al Arab and the Palm.
Bring non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet and slippery—rubber-soled shoes improve footing and let you move around the yacht safely.
Pack sun protection and water
Even short cruises expose you to intense sun and reflection off the water; sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat matter.
Confirm vessel and facilities
Yacht types vary by booking—verify guest capacity, restrooms, shaded areas and whether the trip is truly private before arrival.
