Frequently asked questions

Q: How do I choose between the 25, 30, and 50 guest capacity tiers?

A: Choose based on your actual guest count, not the yacht’s maximum capacity. Book the tier that matches your confirmed guest list for the best experience.

Q: What’s included in the BBQ menu, and can dietary restrictions be accommodated?

A: The freshly prepared BBQ menu includes grilled meats, skewers, flavorful sides, and accompaniments, prepared by Dubai-based yacht catering specialists. Vegetarian options are available.

Dietary needs (vegan, gluten-free, allergies) must be shared at booking so the catering team can prepare accordingly. The menu serves your entire group with generous portions.

Note: Outside BBQ meat is not allowed (all grilled items are provided), but you may bring extra snacks, desserts, or beverages.

Q: How far in advance should I book, and what’s the cancellation policy?

A: Book 7–10 days in advance to secure your date and allow time for cake customization and dietary arrangements. For peak season (November–March) or holiday weekends, book 2–3 weeks ahead.

Q: Can we bring our own alcohol and additional food?

A: Yes. While the package includes a BBQ menu, birthday cake, and one champagne bottle, you’re welcome to bring additional alcohol (beer, wine, spirits) and extra food.

Q: What birthday decorations are included, and can we add our own?

A: The package includes birthday-themed decorations and balloon arrangements set up before boarding. You may bring additional décor (banners, signs, themed items), and the crew will assist with setup.

Q: Can we swim during the birthday cruise?

A: Yes. Swimming stops are available at designated JBR areas, subject to weather and sea conditions at the captain’s discretion.

Q: What’s the best timing for a sunset birthday cruise?

A: Sunset times vary by season, around 6:30pm in summer and 5:45pm in winter. For the best experience, book a 3-hour cruise starting 1.5–2 hours before sunset (e.g., 4:30pm in summer, 4pm in winter).
