Yacht rental in Dubai: what are the pitfalls to consider?

  • Hidden charges: Review the rental agreement and make sure that you understand all the services included and not included in the price. Ask if you need to pay extra for fuel, captain’s services, cleaning, insurance, etc.
  • Yacht condition: Before signing the contract, carefully inspect the yacht and make sure that it is in good condition. Fix all existing damages to avoid future claims.
  • License/rights: if you plan to operate the yacht yourself, make sure that you have a license to operate the vessel recognized in the UAE. Otherwise, you will need to rent a yacht with a captain.
  • Insurance: make sure that the yacht is insured and that the insurance covers all possible risks (damage to the yacht, liability to third parties, etc.).
  • Rules and restrictions: read the rules and restrictions in force in the waters of Dubai (for example, a ban on swimming in certain places, speed limits, etc.).
  • Captain and crew: If you rent a yacht with a captain and crew, make sure they have the necessary qualifications and work experience.
  • Reviews: Before booking, read reviews about the yacht rental company.
  • Contract: Read the contract carefully, paying attention to the rights and obligations of the parties, cancellation conditions and dispute resolution.

How to avoid problems:

  • Choose a yacht rental company carefully.
  • Ask all your questions before signing the contract.
  • Read the contract carefully and make sure that you understand all the terms.
  • Follow the safety rules on the water.

Which shopping malls are worth visiting in Dubai?

If you think shopping malls are just places to shop, Dubai is ready to change your mind. Dubai Mall is not just shopping, it's a whole world under the roof. Imagine a place where you can start the day by watching underwater wonders in a huge aquarium, then go ice skating on an ice rink in the middle of the desert, and in the evening watch a movie in a luxury cinema. I remember getting lost among more than a thousand shops, unexpectedly coming across a waterfall with figures of drivers, as if floating in the air. The Mall of the Emirates offers an even more surreal experience: inside it is Ski Dubai, a real ski resort with penguins and snow slides. Going down on skis, knowing that the scorching sun and sand are outside the walls, is an indescribable feeling.
