What is included and what can be added?
The listed two-hour birthday package already includes the cake and deck decoration, and the minimum charter is two hours. If you need more time, the extra-hour rate depends on the selected yacht. Additional options include a Mix Fruits Platter for AED 100, Vanilla Cake or Chocolate Cake for AED 150 each, and Decoration & Balloons for AED 150. Custom cakes, flower bouquets and photographers are available on request; you can explore custom birthday cakes before planning your menu.

Drinks for the celebration can include water, juices and soft drinks. Review the water sports options if your group wants time on the water as well as time cruising.
How to choose your boat
Count every guest before requesting a quote, then allow for the style of celebration. Choose a smaller yacht for a private gathering, a house boat for a larger family party, or the Saadiyat option if that location suits your plans. Abu Dhabi views may include the Corniche, nearby islands and the city skyline, while departure arrangements can involve marinas such as Al Bateen Marina, Yas Marina or Zayed Port.
