Dining & Entertainment
The premium buffet adds more live cooking stations, a wider dessert spread, and fresh juices alongside the standard international dishes and BBQ. Vegetarian and special-diet requests are handled on priority when you book on WhatsApp. Entertainment includes the Tanoura dance show plus live music or a violin performance on most evenings, subject to UAE rules on dry days and during Ramadan.
Who It's For
Honeymooners, couples celebrating anniversaries, guests who want guaranteed best seats without arriving early, and anyone who prefers a quieter, more serviced evening on the water. For full exclusivity, view details → Private Dhow Charter Dubai.
Guests usually upgrade to the luxury sailing for honeymoons, anniversaries, and proposals, or simply to guarantee the best seats without arriving early. The reserved VIP section stays quieter than the general decks, and the dedicated service staff check on your table through the evening. If you are celebrating, mention it when booking and the crew will help time a special moment during the sail. For complete privacy instead of VIP seats, the Private Dhow Charter Dubai gives you the entire dhow.
