Are you looking to impress visitors or spoil your significant other? Look at this…
There’s no better way to soak up Dubai’s dazzling views than from the water, cruising the Arabian Sea with the wind blowing through your hair. And if you’re looking for a more intimate alternative to the usual yacht charter, we’ve found it.
Blue Yonder is a sleek, state-of-the-art 40ft yacht that is part of the Maxoel Yachts fleet. Finished in burnt orange, it has a real luxury feel, with sun loungers on the aft deck, a sofa-style seating area and chairs for those who wish to perch just behind the captain. There is even a sleeping area for two, with a double bed and a small kitchenette inside. Although these types of vessels are common on European shores, this is the first of its kind in Dubai.
Blue Yonder has a capacity of eight, although we’d say for a comfortable cruise it’s best to book for groups of two to four, making it an ideal date night or activity to try when you have visitors to town. You can create your own itinerary when booking, although the team are on hand to take you to all the best sites. Sip espressos at the Burj Al Arab, savor a platter of fresh fruit as you recline on deck against the backdrop of Dubai Marina, or pose like Kate and Leo in front of Atlantis The Palm. Ideal for those who need speed, Blue Yonder can reach speeds of up to 50 knots, so strap in for a thrilling morning or afternoon on the waves.
Special summer rates
This summer, you can rent Blue Yonder at the reduced price of 1,000 Dhs per hour. With this, you’ll have a captain and a stewardess, a platter of fresh fruit to enjoy while you soak up the views, and soft drinks including ice water, coffee, and tea. Those who want to enjoy an extended afternoon on the water can also take advantage of an additional free hour when booking a three-hour cruise.
Celebrating a special occasion? Upon request, the Maxoel team can arrange special catering, decorations and additional beverages.
The Maxoel fleet
While Blue Yonder might be the most unique and luxurious way to sail the Arabian Seas, Maxoel’s fleet also includes traditional luxury yacht charters, as well as speedboat sightseeing excursions thanks to their Black Boat Tours filled with adventure. With 60 and 90 minute group tours available, you’ll be taken to all the best sites to capture that perfect Insta shot, including Ain Dubai, Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab. Its price is 160 Dhs for an hour or 280 Dhs for an hour and a half.
