Yacht trips in Dubai: Ways to organize

There are really many options for ready-made tours in Dubai. Local travel agencies offer morning, afternoon and even night excursions for large companies and couples, educational and show programs in Russian and English.

The most popular tours offered by most companies:

Cruise with swimming and sightseeing

The route starts from Dubai Marina, one of the largest marinas in the world. Passengers can admire the artificial island of Bluewaters, where the largest Ferris wheel in the world, the Eye of Dubai, is located.

You will have the opportunity to admire the beach and infrastructure of the Jumeirah Beach Residents (JBR) microdistrict and the Atlantis Palm resort complex, the Palm Jumeirah Island and the famous Burj Al Arab hotel. Stop and swim in the lagoon of the Persian Gulf. This tour is designed for individual groups.

Romantic walk at sunset

This is an opportunity to see Dubai and the best sights of the emirate in the rays of the setting sun. The companies offer to sail along the beaches and lagoons on a yacht, and also organize a dinner for two.

Cruise on a yacht as part of a group of tourists

Cruise on a yacht as part of a group of tourists, with a capacity of up to thirty people. The most economical. You will be able to see all the same sights with guide commentary and, if desired, make a stop for swimming. Usually on such a tour, companies provide unlimited soft drinks, but you will have to take care of the snack yourself.

TIRENA BOATS and most companies provide yachts with captain and crew only. Therefore, you can only rent a small sailing boat, with an experienced staff, and this method is suitable for yachtsmen with experience.

In the UAE, if you want to sail the waters on your own, you need to have an RYA certificate or another document recognized by the Dubai Maritime City Authority (DMCA). Non-UAE issued boating licenses must be verified by contacting the DMCA office. There you will receive a certificate of conformity, which will be valid for one month from the date of issue.

Important to know: any vessel leaving a UAE port must first obtain permission from the Coast Guard and request permission to stay in the territorial waters of the United Arab Emirates. Such permission can be obtained at any of the official marinas.

The application for a permit is filled in by the captain of the vessel and must contain

• List of passengers
• Date and time of departure and return
• The name of the owner of the vessel (boat, boat) and the captain
• A copy of the vessel's registration document.

You can make your own itinerary and see all the most interesting things. Or just relax on the water.

We recommend walking along the narrow channel of Dubai Creek overlooking the Persian Gulf. It is interesting for its contrast: small wooden boats of local fishermen scurry back and forth between chic modern yachts. In addition, it offers a view of most of the city's attractions.

If you want a long voyage, you can walk along the coast of the bay and look into the neighboring emirates, for example, in Abu Dhabi. Or rounding Dubai, go to the Gulf of Oman and reach Muscat - the capital of Oman. Here you can visit the Old Palace, striking splendor and admire the Grand Mosque of Sultan Qaboos. The National Museum of Oman also deserves attention.

In a word, whatever your choice of way to organize your vacation, a yacht trip in the waters of Dubai will definitely leave wonderful memories.
