Stories from Last New Year's Eve

Here is what our guests had to say about ringing in the new year with us.

We rented a large yacht for our group of 35, and it was spectacular. The captain found an amazing spot for the midnight show, and the service was impeccable. No traffic headaches, just great vibes and the best view in town.

We wanted something low-key for the family away from the crush of people. The crew was fantastic with the kids, and seeing the Burj Al Arab light up from the water was magical. Safe, calm, and totally worth it.

Q&A

Common Questions About NYE Charters

Here is what most people ask us before booking for New Year's Eve.

We strongly suggest locking in your vessel by October. The most desirable yachts and prime viewing slots go fast. Booking early ensures you get the boat you want and clear pricing. A deposit holds your spot, and we finalize the guest list and logistics closer to the big night.

Your booking covers the yacht, a licensed captain and crew, fuel for the designated route, ice, water, and soft drinks. You also get use of the sound system. Extras like food, a DJ, or decorations can be added. VAT is 5%, and crew tips are up to you.

Absolutely. Our captains navigate to specific zones approved by the authorities to give you the best possible vantage point for the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis displays. We prioritize safety and visibility, ensuring you are in position well before midnight.

Yes, children are welcome. We provide life jackets for everyone, including little ones. The crew gives a safety briefing before we leave the dock. Many families prefer the larger yachts with comfortable indoor areas so kids can rest between the excitement.

This depends on the specific yacht's license and local regulations. Generally, we can organize a beverage package for you, or you might be able to bring your own items if agreed upon in advance. The crew will manage service to ensure everyone stays safe.

Your safety is our main concern. If the weather turns or port authorities change the rules, the captain will adjust the plan, possibly staying within the harbor. The party goes on with music and food, and we will do our best to keep the fireworks in view if safety permits.
