Dining & Entertainment
Dinner is the full international buffet with live BBQ, plus your celebration cake served with the crew's help. The Tanoura show runs as usual, and the crew can announce your occasion if you like. For proposals and milestones, the private charter allows custom music and a fully decorated setup — talk to us on WhatsApp about the plan.
Who It's For
Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals, baby showers, farewells, and family reunions. Couples often choose the shared sailing with a cake add-on; larger parties go private. For company celebrations, see Corporate Dhow Cruise Events.
Surprise parties work well on the dhow: tell the coordinator your plan in advance and the crew will help with timing, whether it is a cake reveal, a birthday announcement, or a proposal moment. Decorations are set up before boarding so everything is ready when your group arrives. If some guests are unsure about boats, reassure them: the dhow is large and stable, stays within the calm waters of the Marina for the whole two-hour sail, and the air-conditioned lower deck is always available.
