Everything you need to know before planning your visit.
Cruise Dubai’s coastline on an Xclusive shared yacht tour. Eight live packages range from AED 149 to AED 249 per adult. The page also displays a child rate of AED 119 for the applicable package.
Other guests may join the same departure. A shared ticket does not reserve the whole vessel, a private table or a specific seat. Route, duration and meal service follow the confirmed voucher and may change with sea conditions.
For another operator, compare SkyWalker shared yacht tours. Private groups can explore Dubai yacht rental.
The live package list on this page contains eight breakfast, daytime, sunset and evening choices priced from AED 149 to AED 249 per adult. Xclusive Yachts currently markets its comparable product as a Shared Yacht Cruise and publishes direct prices starting from AED 210 for adults and AED 160 for children, including VAT. Its available departure names, times and prices can also change by date. Travel-agent rates may legitimately differ from direct retail prices, but the exact Friends Guide package must be matched to the operator’s current departure before payment.
Online checkout is therefore paused while the contracted rate, sailing time, duration, child fare and meal are reconfirmed. Travellers can review the official Xclusive Yachts shared-cruise information, but the final Friends Guide voucher should identify the specific booked departure and govern the reservation.
This is a shared cruise, not a private yacht charter. Other couples, families and groups will join the same sailing, and guests are not allocated a private table, deck area or fixed seat. The operator normally provides a red-carpet departure, professional captain and crew, an air-conditioned lower deck, food and non-alcoholic beverages. Breakfast and BBQ sailings have different menus, so confirm the chosen meal and communicate allergies or vegetarian requirements before booking.
The vessel is commonly a large yacht or catamaran, although the operator may assign a comparable vessel according to its schedule. Sightseeing may include Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters, Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah or Burj Al Arab, depending on the duration, route, marine traffic and weather. Not every two-hour cruise reaches every landmark.
The operator’s current booking system defines adults as guests aged 12 and above and children as ages 3–11. Babies under two may be accepted, but the operator states that they must remain in the saloon or cabin area with an accompanying adult. Children under nine must wear a life jacket throughout the cruise. The Friends Guide child prices vary between AED 119 and AED 189 and require reconfirmation against these age bands before a family booking is accepted.
An adult must supervise children during boarding and while moving between decks. Parents should provide every child’s age when requesting confirmation rather than selecting a generic child quantity without checking eligibility.
Allow enough time for Dubai Marina traffic and arrive approximately 20–30 minutes before departure. The yacht sails on schedule, and the operator states that guests who miss the boat are not entitled to a refund. Follow the meeting point printed on the final voucher because the operator’s public material currently references Dubai Marina and Vida Dubai Marina Yacht Club in different sections.
Comfortable clothing is suitable, but all guests must remove their footwear when boarding. Bring sun protection for daytime cruises and a light layer for cooler evenings. Transfers and parking are not included unless they appear in the confirmation.
Swimming is not permitted on the operator’s current shared-yacht product, so the existing conditional swimming advice should not be used. Alcohol is also prohibited onboard. The official page currently says the cruise is not suitable for wheelchair users. Guests who need step-free boarding, accessible toilets, seating assistance or stroller storage should obtain written confirmation before travelling.
The captain has final authority over safety, vessel choice and route changes. Xclusive currently advertises free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure and notes that refunds may take up to 14 working days. The terms on the Friends Guide confirmation control the agency reservation, so check the cancellation deadline before payment.
For another scheduled shared cruise, compare the SkyWalker shared yacht guide. Groups wanting exclusive vessel use, private catering or more control over the route should review private yacht rental in Dubai and confirm the licensed passenger capacity before choosing a yacht.
