Which yachts can go out to the ocean?
To go out into the open ocean, special yachts are needed, which are highly durable, reliable and equipped with everything necessary for long sea crossings. Here are the main types of yachts that can go out to the ocean:
Ocean cruisers
Sailing Cruisers: These yachts are specially designed for long voyages in ocean conditions. They have a sturdy hull, usually made of steel or aluminum, and are equipped with everything necessary for autonomous navigation, including a navigation system, satellite communications and sufficient supplies of fuel and fresh water.
– Examples: Oyster 565, Hallberg-Rassy 44, Amel 50.
Motor cruisers: Motor yachts for ocean crossings also have a solid construction and large fuel tanks, allowing them to cover long distances without refueling. They are equipped for a comfortable stay on board for several weeks or months.
– Examples: Nordhavn 60, Fleming 55, Selene 54.
Expedition yachts
These yachts are designed for extreme conditions and are often used for research expeditions. They have reinforced hulls capable of withstanding ice loads and severe sea conditions.
– Examples: Damen SeaXplorer, Numarine XP Series, Arksen 85.
Catamarans
Catamarans, due to their stability and spaciousness, are also suitable for ocean crossings. They provide a large living area and comfort in swimming.
– Examples: Lagoon 620, Fountaine Pajot Alegria 67, Catana 53.
Trimarans
Trimarans, like catamarans, have high stability and speed, which makes them suitable for crossing oceans.
– Examples: Neel 51, Dragonfly 40, Corsair 37.
Key features of ocean yachts:
Robust housing: Materials such as steel, aluminum or carbon fiber provide high strength and reliability.
Autonomy: Large fuel tanks, water desalination systems and sufficient provisions for a long voyage.
Navigation equipment: Modern navigation and satellite communication systems for safe and accurate navigation.
Comfort: Providing comfortable conditions for the crew for a long time, including heating, air conditioning and entertainment systems.
Choosing a yacht for ocean travel depends on the planned routes, budget and personal preferences, but the main thing is safety, reliability and the ability to withstand the harsh conditions of the open sea.

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.

Choose the right yacht: take into account the number of passengers, the desired comfort level and your preferences (motor, sailing, catamaran). Check for the necessary equipment: air conditioning, kitchen, audio system, etc. 3. Check the license (if necessary): if you plan to operate the yacht yourself, make sure that your license to operate the vessel is recognized in the UAE. If not, rent a yacht with a captain. 4.

Carefully study the rental agreement: pay attention to the terms of payment, cancellation, responsibility of the parties and other important points. Please specify what expenses are included in the rental price. 6. Collect the necessary items: • High SPF sunscreen • Sunglasses and headgear • Swimsuit/swimming trunks and towel • Light and comfortable clothes • Comfortable shoes (preferably non-slip) • A camera or a camera for capturing stunning views • Medications, if you are taking any medications • Cash (for small expenses, tips) 7. Find out the weather forecast: before going to sea, make sure that the weather is favorable. 8. Coordinate the route with the captain: discuss the desired places to visit and the duration of the stops. 9. Order catering (optional): If you want to enjoy delicious food and drinks on board, book catering in advance. 10. Relax and enjoy the beautiful views, the warm sea and the great company.

Go to question pageThe 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.

Go to question pageDubai offers many opportunities for learning Arabic. I signed up for courses at Eton Institute, where classes are held in small groups with experienced teachers. The program was flexible, which is convenient for tourists and busy people. Other language centers, such as the Arabic Language Centre and Berlitz, also offer various levels of instruction — from beginner to advanced. Learning the language helped me better understand the culture and communicate with locals, enriching my experience in Dubai.

Go to question pageA culinary journey through Dubai is a mix of flavors from the Middle East, Asia and even Africa. Be sure to try shish tauk — tender pieces of chicken marinated in yogurt and spices, strung on a skewer and fried on coals. Machbus is a fragrant rice dish with lamb or fish, seasoned with lemon, saffron and cardamom. For those with a sweet tooth, there is lukumat — small fried donuts, sprinkled with date syrup and sprinkled with sesame seeds. And you can wash it all down with freshly squeezed pomegranate juice or mint tea.
Go to question pageYes, it is possible to rent a yacht in Dubai for a party or event. However, this must be agreed upon with the lessor company in advance! They may have special conditions, restrictions on the number of guests, music requirements, and other rules that need to be considered. Be sure to discuss all the details of the event with the company before booking. Why is this important?: • Rental conditions: The rental agreement may specify restrictions on the number of guests, the volume of music, the allowed time for events, and other rules. • Safety: The lessor company must ensure that the event is safe for all participants and does not violate maritime safety regulations. • Insurance: Ask if the yacht's insurance covers events with a large number of guests. • Permits: In some cases, additional permits from the authorities may be required for large-scale events on the yacht. What needs to be discussed with the landlord: • Number of guests: Tell us the exact number of invited guests. • Event type: Describe the nature of the party (birthday, corporate, wedding, etc.). • Music: Learn about the acceptable volume level and the possibility of using musical equipment. • Food and drinks: Coordinate the issue with catering and drinks. • Decorations: Discuss the possibility of decorating the yacht.
