Private aviation and yachts
Aircraft and yachts, chartered for the day.
We do not own aircraft or yachts. Helicopters, seaplanes and yachts are chartered on your behalf from licensed operators, each named in the proposal, and the car is waiting at either end. What we add is the part a charter company does not: the day on either side of it.
In the air
The Emirates from above.
A helicopter shows the coast from above; a seaplane leaves from the water and returns to it. Each is flown by a licensed operator and arranged with the ground on either side: the car to the helipad or the marina, and the car and the table at the other end.
On the water
A yacht for the day, kept to your hours.
Yachts are chartered, with their crews, from charter companies licensed in Dubai. The boat is chosen for the party and the hour: a flybridge for an evening along the Palm, or a superyacht for the whole day with a tender and a full crew. The captain’s judgement on the weather governs the day, and we plan with that in mind.
A superyacht for the day
A yacht of a hundred feet or more from Dubai Harbour, with full crew and tender, for the whole day.
With a yacht charter company licensed in Dubai.
An evening yacht from Dubai Marina
A flybridge yacht for four hours, out through the Marina and along the Palm as the light goes.
With a yacht charter company licensed in Dubai.
A family day on a flybridge yacht
Five hours on a 65-foot flybridge from Dubai Harbour, with a swim stop off the World Islands and lunch aboard.

A day at the World Islands
Eight hours out to the World Islands: lunch at the island resort, then an afternoon at anchor off the sandbars.

Dinner aboard, with a private chef
A chef, a service team and one table laid on a yacht at anchor off the Burj Al Arab; four courses.

On either side
The car, the terminal, the table.
- Before
- A car to the helipad, the marina or the private terminal, timed to the departure, and to the aircraft itself where the airport permits it.
- After
- The car, and whoever is meeting you, are waiting when you land or come ashore, and are told of any change to the time before you are.
- Aboard
- Preferences go ahead to the captain and the crew — what the party eats and drinks, any allergies, music or silence — and are confirmed back before you board.
- If the weather turns
- Wind and haze close the water and the air more often than anything else here. If they do, you are told as early as the forecast allows and shown the alternatives, with what each involves.
To begin
What we need to know.
- When
- The day, or the days, and how firm they are.
- Who is coming
- The number in the party and the ages of any children.
- Where
- A route, a destination, or simply the kind of day you have in mind.
- Preferences
- Food and drink, the hours you keep, and anything that has not suited you before.
Tell us the day.
The concierge replies in writing with the aircraft or the yacht, the operator, and the arrangements on either side.
