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.

Which areas of Dubai are the most interesting to visit?

Dubai is a city of contrasts, and each of its districts has a special character. Dubai Marina is a modern oasis with skyscrapers, yachts and a promenade ideal for evening walks. Here I felt like I was in the center of a cosmopolitan world where cultures and languages meet. Deira is the opposite of Marina, an old shopping district with narrow streets and markets. Wandering through the gold market, I was amazed at the brilliance and abundance of jewelry, and at the spice market, the aromas of cinnamon, saffron and cardamom turned my head. Al Fahidi is a historic district with traditional architecture, where you can feel the spirit of old Dubai. Walking through its quiet streets, I found art galleries, museums and cozy courtyards with fountains.

What are the rules for visiting mosques for non-Muslims?

Many mosques in Dubai are open to visitors, allowing for a better understanding of Islamic culture and architecture. The Jumeirah Mosque is one of the most beautiful and welcoming. I joined a tour organized by the Sheikh Mohammed Centre for Cultural Understanding, where the guide explained traditions, rituals, and answered all questions. It is important to dress modestly: shoulders and knees should be covered, and women should wear a scarf to cover their heads. Shoes must be removed before entering. Photography inside is usually allowed, but it’s best to check with the guide. Visiting the mosque was a profound and enlightening experience for me.

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.
