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.

What water parks are there in Dubai?

In Dubai's hot climate, water parks become a real lifesaver. Aquaventure Waterpark, located at Atlantis The Palm hotel, is one of the largest in the world. I tested my courage there on the "Leap of Faith" slide, where you are practically thrown vertically down through a transparent tube, passing through a shark pool. Wild Wadi Waterpark, located next to Burj Al Arab, offers themed attractions based on Arabian tales. I especially enjoyed "Jumeirah Sceirah" - a 33-meter high slide where you rush at speeds up to 80 km/h. For families with young children, Laguna Waterpark in La Mer offers more relaxed entertainment, including a lazy river and beach areas.
