What Our Guests Say About NYE

Here is what people actually experienced on our boats last New Year's Eve.

We rented a 101ft yacht for a group of 40, and it was basically a private club on the water. The captain found an amazing spot for midnight, the drinks kept coming, and the DJ was on point. No traffic headaches at all—just us and the fireworks.

Corporate Event

We wanted to avoid the chaos this year. The team handled everything from the timeline to a menu the kids actually ate. Seeing the Burj Al Arab light up from our own deck was priceless. Safe, calm, and totally worth it.

The Anderson Family

Private Family Cruise

I plan events for a living, so I'm picky about logistics. Their boarding process was smooth even with the NYE road closures. Honest pricing, professional crew, and a killer view. My clients were thrilled.

FAQ

Common Questions About NYE Charters

Everything you need to know about booking and logistics for December 31st.

Most high-end vessels and prime viewing spots are taken by October. Securing your booking early guarantees you get the boat layout you want and clear pricing. A deposit locks it in, and we sort out the guest list and boarding details closer to the big night.

Your charter fee covers the captain, crew, fuel for the designated route, safety equipment, and soft drinks. Things like food, a DJ, decorations, or alcohol are extras you can add. Just so you know, there's a 5% VAT, and tips are up to you.

Absolutely. Our captains park in specific maritime zones approved for the best visibility of the Burj Al Arab and Atlantis shows. We prioritize getting you there safely and on time so you have an unobstructed view away from the crushing crowds on land.

Yes, as long as we stay within the boat's capacity limits. We do a full safety briefing before leaving the dock, and we have life jackets for everyone, including little ones. Families usually like the indoor areas for a break from the noise and wind.

It depends on the boat's license, but generally, yes. We can also organize champagne and spirits for you if you prefer. The crew will manage the service to make sure everyone stays safe while having a good time.

Your safety is the main thing. If the weather gets rough or port authorities change the rules, the captain might adjust the route or stay in the harbor. The party goes on inside the boat with music and food, and we'll still try to get the best view possible given the conditions.
