    Frequently asked questions

    Q. How do I book the yacht and catering for a group of 12?

    Book your preferred duration (3–5 hours) and confirm up to 12 guests on Headout. BBQ catering is an optional upgrade for groups of 5+ and is highly recommended. Upgrade to include BBQ meal with or without the premium drinks package. The crew manages setup and service.

    Q. Can we customize the route and swimming time?

    A. Yes. Your captain helps design the cruise. The standard route includes Dubai Marina, JBR, Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis, and Burj Al Arab. Swimming is allowed at designated JBR areas when conditions are safe. On 3+ hour cruises, expect 30–45 minutes for swimming.

    Q. Is there enough space for 12 guests on a 50ft yacht?

    A. A 50ft yacht provides comfortable space for 12 guests without crowding. You'll have access to multiple deck areas: bow sun beds for sunbathing, shaded lounge seating for relaxation, and ample room to move around.

    Q. What’s included in the hourly rate?

    A. Private 50ft yacht, English-speaking captain and crew member, insurance, water, soft drinks, tea, coffee, ice, glassware, premium wet sound system, and the necessary amenities. Not included: catering upgrades, premium beverages, outside food/alcohol, or gratuities.

    Q. Can we bring our own food and alcohol?

    A. Yes. Outside food and all alcohol are allowed. Many large groups arrange restaurant catering delivered before departure. The crew helps organize and serve everything. If you book the BBQ upgrade, outside BBQ meat isn’t permitted, but sides, desserts, and drinks are welcome.

    Q. Is this yacht suitable for corporate events?

    A. Yes, ideal for corporate groups of 8 to 12. The salon works well for discussions or presentations, while the flybridge is perfect for networking. The sound system supports announcements or background music, and the crew keeps service professional and discreet.

    Q. What are the swimming rules for large groups?

    a. Swimming is allowed only at approved JBR spots and when conditions are safe. The captain makes the final call. Children under 9 must wear life jackets (bring your own). For large groups, swimming is usually managed in short, supervised rotations. Towels aren’t provided.

    Q. What’s the best time for sunset or dinner cruises with 25 guests?

    A. Plan to depart 1.5–2 hours before sunset. Sunset is around 6:30pm in summer and 5:45pm in winter. A 3-hour cruise starting around 5pm works perfectly for sunset views followed by dinner.
