New Year's Eve Fireworks Cruise in Dubai
There is no better seat for New Year's Eve than one on the water. From a yacht you see the fireworks burst around the Burj Al Arab, along the Palm Jumeirah shoreline and over Atlantis The Palm, while the Burj Khalifa glows far off on the horizon. Expect several hours at sea either side of midnight; the crew sticks to Coast Guard instructions and the official viewing areas.
The advantage of a private charter
When you charter privately, the yacht belongs to your group for the whole trip. There are no strangers at the next table and no fixed programme: the captain and crew handle the sailing while you focus on your guests, and you decide when to sail, what plays and what is served, as far as the Coast Guard rules and the captain allow.
Choosing the right yacht
Boats of every size are booked early for 31 December:
- Sunseeker 56 ft – about 20 guests, room for family and friends
- San Lorenzo 82 ft – 50 guests
- Azimut 135 ft – up to 110 guests
Large groups can also browse our yachts for 85 to 110 guests and superyachts.
Included in the price, and optional extras
Fuel, soft drinks, ice and bottled water are part of the hourly rate, together with the yacht and its professional captain and crew. On request we can add decorations, catering, a chef at the grill or water toys. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks as well: there is a fridge, a microwave and a Bluetooth speaker on board. For an event we put together a quote that reflects how many people are coming, how long you want to sail and the extras you choose; yachts are available from 489 AED per hour (October 2026).
Tips for the day
Marinas are packed on 31 December, so reserve several weeks ahead. Plan for a long night with food, drinks, music, warm layers and a clear guest list for boarding. Yachts must follow Coast Guard instructions and stay within the designated viewing zones, so the exact spot is agreed with the captain. New Year's Eve prices are not published: our team sends you a quote.

Pick the yacht, the date and the time on our booking page, or use the event request form on this page to send us your guest count, preferred date and any special wishes. Your booking is secured once the agreed deposit is received, and each guest needs an original passport or a valid Emirates ID.
