Visitor Essentials
Here's a quick and easy guide to help you plan your sailing adventure:
- Location: The primary departure locations for yachts are usually Dubai Marina (Pier 7 area), Jumeirah (JBR), and Dubai Harbour.
- Timings: Yacht rentals can be done 24 hours a day, with the best days being the morning (9 AM - 1 PM), afternoon (2 PM - 6 PM), and either sunset or evening cruise.
- Rental Prices: Prices are fluctuating widely, depending on the size of the yacht, degree of luxury, and time, but there is a boat that fits every price, both low-end (small) and high-end (mega-yacht). It’s best to check various packages to find one that fits your group and wallet.
- Best Time to Visit: The cooler months from October to April are ideal for sailing, with perfect weather. However, the yachts are climate-controlled, so you can enjoy a great time even in the summer.
- Where you can enjoy these activities: Most trips follow scenic routes around the Palm Jumeirah, out to the World Islands, and along the bustling Dubai coastline.

Insider Tips
A few small tips to make your sailing day even better:
- Book in Advance: Especially if you're planning a weekend or a holiday cruise, yachts get booked up quickly, so lock in your spot early.
- Bring Light Layers: Even if it’s hot, the sea air can be cool, especially in the evening. A light sweater or jacket is a good idea.
- Don't Forget Sun Protection: Sunglasses, a hat, and high-SPF sunscreen are a must when spending hours under the bright Dubai sun.
- Inquire About Extras: Many companies offer complimentary water, soft drinks, and towels, but always confirm what is included so you don't show up empty-handed.
- Tip the Crew: The captain and crew work hard to ensure your safety and comfort; a standard tip shows your appreciation for great service!
How to Get There
Getting to the yacht is generally straightforward, but here are a few ways to reach the Marina or Harbour:
- By Car: Use GPS navigation to reach the specific jetty or marina. Public parking is available in the area, but it can be busy.
- By Taxi/Ride-Share: This is the easiest option; simply tell the driver the name of the marina or the pier number, and they will get you right to the entrance.
- With Captain Dunes: The most convenient way is to arrange a seamless pickup with their private vehicles, like a comfortable Nissan Patrol or an executive van, which ensures you arrive on time and stress-free, without worrying about directions or parking.
