I recently chartered a yacht in Dubai and can share my experience to help you make your choice. First and foremost, it's important to understand what type of vacation you're looking for—whether it's a short excursion, a romantic cruise, a party with friends, or a full day on the water with excursions and water activities. I chose the option with a professional crew and all-inclusive service, which was extremely convenient: everything was thought out down to the last detail, from drinks and snacks to the itinerary and onboard safety. I also recommend paying attention to the yacht's size, interior style, and the availability of additional options, such as water toys or snorkeling. I also found it helpful to read reviews from other clients and look at actual photos of the yachts—this immediately gives you a sense of what to expect.
