Securing Your Vessel and Payment Terms
Charters with Meridian Yachting require a minimum duration of 2 hours. Our fleet ranges from 33 to 164 feet, accommodating up to 90 guests, with hourly rates from 600 AED to 18,900 AED including VAT. To confirm your selected slot, a 30% deposit is mandatory; dates are not held without this payment. Every price includes fuel, a licensed captain and crew, soft drinks, ice, towels, and life jackets. Optional extras such as catering, water sports, DJ equipment, and car transfers can be arranged on request. Contact our team via WhatsApp daily between 9:00 and 23:00 GST for prompt confirmations.
Weather Disruptions and Rescheduling
If bad weather prevents safe sailing, you have complete control over how to proceed. Meridian Yachting will either move your charter to an alternative date agreed directly in the chat or issue a full refund of your payment. You decide which option suits your schedule best. Because dates require a 30% deposit to be secured on our calendar, all date adjustments or cancellations are managed directly through our WhatsApp chat. Our support team replies within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST every day to handle your itinerary changes quickly and efficiently.
Guest Inclusions and On-Board Guidelines
Boarding our yachts and boats requires no passport or ID check at the marina. Guests are welcome to bring their own food, snacks, and beverages, including alcohol, without paying any corkage fee. We provide complimentary soft drinks, fresh ice, clean towels, and safety life jackets on every trip. If requested, we can supply BBQ menus, bar service, live music, sound systems, fishing tackle, or water sports gear like jet skis and flyboards. Your licensed captain and crew manage all navigation and vessel safety from departure at Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour throughout your booked hours.
Coverage Details and Safety Provisions
Comprehensive marine insurance is included in every charter rate across our entire fleet of 88 vessels. Every cruise operates under the command of a fully licensed captain and qualified crew who manage onboard safety. Life jackets and essential safety equipment are standard on all boats, from 33-foot cruisers to 164-foot superyachts. All displayed prices are transparent and already include UAE VAT. If you have specific requirements regarding tailored routes, extra equipment, or transfers, message our team on WhatsApp between 9:00 and 23:00 GST, and we will confirm all details within 15 minutes.
