Your data

Meridian Yachting Privacy Policy

This privacy policy explains how Meridian Yachting manages personal details when you arrange charters across our fleet of 88 yachts and boats in Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. We handle communication directly through WhatsApp, processing only the essential information needed to book your charter, arrange requested services, and confirm departure details.

Information collected during charter enquiries

When you message us via WhatsApp, we collect the details you provide to arrange your trip. This includes your name, contact information, preferred departure from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, selected vessel length between 33 and 164 feet, charter duration from 2 hours, and requested optional extras such as catering, water sports, or transfers. Because no passport or ID is needed to board our yachts and boats, we do not request or store identity documents. We also record the 30% deposit payment status required to secure your selected date and time on our booking calendar.

How your booking details are processed

We use your details solely to manage your charter operations between 9:00 and 23:00 GST. Your details enable our team to assign the licensed captain and crew, calculate total rates ranging from 600 to 18,900 AED per hour inclusive of VAT, and prepare on-board inclusions such as towels, ice, soft drinks, and life jackets. If adverse weather prevents sailing, we use your WhatsApp conversation to agree a new date or issue a full refund according to your preference. We do not use your information for unrelated marketing campaigns or automated sales calls.

Your personal data rights and WhatsApp contact

You retain full control over your personal data at all times. You have the right to request a summary of the details we hold regarding your yacht charter, ask for immediate corrections, or request complete deletion of past conversation logs and booking notes. Because we operate without postal addresses, email channels, or phone desks, all data requests are handled directly through WhatsApp. Simply click the WhatsApp button on our website between 9:00 and 23:00 GST, and our team will process your request within our standard 15-minute response window.

Website analytics and technical cookies

Our website uses standard technical cookies and basic analytics tools to monitor page performance, visitor numbers, and general site functionality. These cookies record aggregated technical data, such as browser types, device categories, and referring web pages, without identifying individual visitors by name. This data helps us ensure that our fleet listings, pricing tables, and WhatsApp enquiry buttons load correctly across desktop and mobile devices. You can restrict, block, or delete cookies at any time through your internet browser settings without losing access to our boat specifications or general charter information.

Frequently asked questions

Will my personal information be passed to outside companies?

No. Meridian Yachting does not sell, rent, or trade your personal details to external marketing agencies. Information is shared only with operational personnel, such as crew or requested third-party suppliers for catering, jet skis, or transfers, solely to deliver the specific arrangements booked for your charter.

For what period is my charter information stored?

We keep booking records and chat logs only as long as necessary to complete your charter, manage payment verification for the 30% deposit, and satisfy standard financial accounting obligations. You may request the deletion of your chat history at any time via our WhatsApp button.
