What is the minimum number of crew to operate a yacht?

The minimum number of crew to operate a yacht depends on the size and type of vessel. For small yachts operated by one person, a captain with the necessary skills and a license is enough. For medium and large yachts, especially sailing yachts, it is recommended to have at least two people on board — the captain and the assistant. This ensures the safety and efficiency of ship management in various conditions.

However, many establishments have specially designated smoking areas. I have noticed that restaurants and cafes usually have a separation into smoking and non-smoking areas. Violating the rules can result in fines for both the smoker and the establishment. This helps create a comfortable environment for everyone and maintain cleanliness in the city.

What are the options for a desert safari?

Desert safari is one of those adventures that you cannot miss in Dubai. I chose the evening safari to see the sunset over the dunes. In a powerful SUV, we raced over the sandy hills, experiencing the thrill of steep descents and ascents.
