Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose between different guest capacity options?

A: Select your tier based on confirmed guests rather than maximum yacht capacity to ensure the best experience. Match your booking with your actual guest list size.

Q: What does the BBQ menu include, and are dietary restrictions accommodated?

A: The freshly prepared BBQ menu features grilled meats, skewers, flavorful sides, and accompaniments from Dubai-based catering specialists. Vegetarian options are available upon request.

Dietary needs such as vegan, gluten-free preferences or allergies should be communicated at booking to prepare accordingly. Generous portions ensure everyone is served adequately. Note: Only the provided grilled items may be consumed; however, you can bring additional snacks and beverages if desired.

Q: What are the recommended advance bookings and cancellation policies?

A: Secure your date by booking 7–10 days in advance to allow time for cake customization and dietary arrangements. For peak season (November–March) or holiday weekends, book 2–3 weeks ahead. Cancellation terms apply.

Q: Can we bring our own alcohol and additional food?

A: Yes, while the package includes a BBQ menu, birthday cake, and one bottle of champagne, you are welcome to supplement with extra alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) or more snacks as desired.

Q: What about bringing personal decorations?

A: The yacht comes pre-decorated for your celebration. You can enhance the ambiance by adding banners, signs, and themed items; crew members will assist in setting them up upon request.

Q: Are swimming opportunities available during the cruise?

A: Yes, there are designated swimming stops at JBR areas, subject to weather conditions and captain’s discretion for safety reasons.

Q: What is ideal timing for a sunset birthday cruise?

A: To catch the best views of Dubai's skyline at sunset—around 6:30pm in summer and 5:45pm in winter—it's recommended to book your 3-hour cruise starting 1.5–2 hours before sunset (e.g., 4:30pm in summer, 4pm in winter).
