Guest Feedback

Stories from Last New Year's Eve

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

We rented a 101ft yacht for our group of 40, and it was spectacular. The captain found us an amazing spot for the midnight show, and the service was impeccable. No traffic, no stress, just champagne and fireworks. Highly recommended.

Sarah Jenkins

Corporate Event

We wanted a safe, private space for the kids to see the lights. The crew was fantastic with the little ones, and the food was delicious. Seeing the Burj Al Arab from the water is a memory we'll keep forever. Worth every penny.

The Peterson Family

Family Charter

I organize events for a living, so I'm picky. These guys nailed the logistics. Boarding was smooth despite the NYE chaos in the marina, and the yacht was in perfect condition. My clients were impressed.

Q&A

Common Questions About NYE Charters

Everything you need to know before you book.

We strongly suggest locking in your vessel by October. The most popular yachts and prime viewing slots disappear quickly. Booking early guarantees your preferred boat layout and gives us ample time to organize catering and logistics before the holiday rush.

Your rate covers the yacht rental, a licensed captain and crew, fuel for the designated route, ice, water, and soft drinks. You also get use of the onboard sound system. Extras like food, alcoholic beverages, DJ services, or special decor are added separately based on your preferences.

Absolutely. Our captains navigate to specific maritime zones approved by the authorities. These spots are chosen to provide the best possible line of sight to the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis displays, keeping you safely away from the shoreline crowds.

Yes, children are welcome. We provide life jackets for all sizes, and the crew gives a full safety briefing before we leave the dock. Many families prefer yachts with comfortable indoor salons so kids can rest if they get tired before the countdown.

It depends on the vessel. Some yachts have a license to serve, while others allow you to bring your own beverages. We can help arrange champagne and other drinks as part of your catering package, always served responsibly by the crew.

Your safety is the main concern. If sea conditions are rough, the captain will adjust the route or stay within the calm waters of the harbor. The party goes on with music and food, and we will still aim for the best view allowed by the conditions.
