Do I need a license to manage a boat in Dubai?
A license is needed if you control your own boat or other water mode of transport.
If you do not have a license, but you want to make a boat trip, then you can rent a yacht with a professional captain with a license that will control the yacht for you, and you will enjoy the rest and beautiful views of Dubai from the sea.
