Booking conditions
These terms govern every charter with Al-Fanar Yachting across our fleet of 88 yachts and boats departing from Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. Review our simple deposit process, transparent bad-weather arrangement, onboard inclusions, and insurance provisions before confirming your cruise through WhatsApp.
To secure a specific slot among our 88 yachts and boats, a 30 % deposit is required. We do not hold charter dates without this initial payment. Rates range from 600 AED to 18,900 AED per hour, with all prices already inclusive of VAT and a minimum charter duration of 2 hours. Our team is available in the chat daily between 9:00 and 23:00 GST, responding within 15 minutes to confirm availability and process your booking directly via the WhatsApp button.
Insurance is included as standard in every booking across our fleet of yachts and boats. All journeys operate under the command of our licensed captain and crew, ensuring compliance with marine safety standards from departure to disembarkation. Safety gear, including life jackets for all guests up to the vessel's certified capacity, is provided on board. Any specific requests for additional equipment or transfers are managed directly with our team prior to departure.
No passport or ID is needed to board our vessels, which range from 33 to 164 feet and accommodate up to 90 guests. Every charter includes a licensed captain and crew, fuel, soft drinks, ice, towels, and life jackets. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages, including alcoholic drinks, with zero corkage fees. Optional additions such as catering, BBQ menus, water sports, DJ setups, or fishing tackle can be arranged upon request.
If bad weather does not allow sailing from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour on your booked date, we offer clear options. In such conditions, we agree a new date in the chat or refund your payment entirely, depending entirely on what you choose. We coordinate all rescheduling through our chat channel, maintaining straightforward communication between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to ensure your plans are rearranged without unnecessary administrative friction.
If poor weather prevents your charter from setting sail, we agree a new date in the chat or issue a full refund of your payment. You decide whether to reschedule your trip or receive your money back.
Your 30 % deposit is refundable if sailing is not possible due to bad weather conditions and you opt for a refund rather than moving the charter to an alternative date via our WhatsApp chat.
Yes, you may bring your own food and drinks on board any vessel, including alcoholic beverages. We do not charge any corkage fee, and complimentary ice and soft drinks are already supplied.
