Which is better, a yacht or a boat?

The choice between a yacht and a boat depends on your needs, preferences and purposes of use.

Yacht:

Comfort and luxury: Yachts are usually more spacious and luxurious, equipped with cabins, kitchens, bathrooms and various amenities. They are ideal for long-term travel and accommodation on board.

Sailing range: Yachts are often designed for long-distance sea voyages, can cross oceans and be autonomous for a long time.

Social events: Due to the large space, the yachts are suitable for parties, corporate events and family celebrations.

Speedboat:

Maneuverability and speed: Boats are usually more maneuverable and faster, which makes them an excellent choice for short trips, water sports and fishing.

Easy operation: The boats are easier to operate, require less time for training and maintenance, which makes them convenient for beginners.

Cost-effective: Boats are often cheaper to buy and maintain compared to yachts, which can be an important factor for those who want to enjoy a water holiday without significant costs.

Thus, if you are looking for luxury and planning long trips by sea, a yacht will be the best choice. If you need speed, maneuverability and you are planning short trips, then a boat will be a more suitable option.

Cockpit what is it

The cockpit is the place on the yacht where all the magic happens. Here you control the ship, enjoy the sun and discuss with friends which of you will be the first in line for a cocktail. This is the ship's control area, where one or two steering wheels, a navigation system, winches for controlling sails and other equipment are located. The yacht's skipper spends most of his time here. The cockpit also applies to the entire interior of the yacht, unless it is divided into cabins, a gallery and other rooms. If you suddenly hear the phrase “everyone to the cockpit!”, this is just an invitation to have fun.

What is Ski Dubai and where is it located?

Ski Dubai is a real winter resort in the heart of the desert, located inside the Mall of the Emirates. Imagine this: the scorching sun and 40°C outside, and you're standing at the top of a snowy slope, ready to ski or snowboard down. I couldn't miss the opportunity to experience this marvel of engineering. The complex maintains a constant temperature of around -4°C. I rented all the necessary equipment and went to explore five different slopes, including the longest one at 400 meters. It was a special treat to interact with real penguins in a specially equipped area. After skiing, I warmed up with hot chocolate in an alpine cafe, watching other skiers through panoramic windows.

What are the typical road traffic characteristics in Dubai?

Driving in Dubai is organized to a high standard, but there are a few things to note. Driving is on the right-hand side of the road and the roads are generally of a high quality, making driving easy. However, traffic during rush hour can be heavy, especially on major roads like Sheikh Zayed Road. Speed and traffic cameras are in operation throughout the city, and fines can be substantial. I hired a car and found that local drivers can be quite fast and sometimes make unexpected maneuvers, so it’s important to be attentive. Parking can be expensive in the city center, but shopping malls often offer free parking. Public transport, including the metro and tram, is a good alternative for getting around the city.
