Event And Corporate Charters in Middle East

Yachts configured for shore-side events during Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, Davos-adjacent gatherings, America's Cup, and Monaco Yacht Show. Available in Middle East, live fleet and hand-curated shortlist.

Five years ago the Middle East as a yachting destination meant two events, the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and the Dubai Boat Show. Today it is a full winter season. The Red Sea has opened to private tourism with new marinas in NEOM, Tabuk and Jeddah. Oman offers some of the most dramatic, empty cruising anywhere in the world, the Musandam fjords are the Middle East's answer to the Norwegian fjords. Weather is reliably blue-sky November through March, dropping out of operational comfort from May to September when summer temperatures in the Gulf exceed 45°C. Demand is growing faster than the local fleet can absorb, we now routinely reposition Med yachts east for the winter. Yachts configured for shore-side events during Grand Prix, Cannes Film Festival, Davos-adjacent gatherings, America's Cup, and Monaco Yacht Show. Matched to Middle East, the fleet narrows to the yachts that actually deliver on the brief in practice, rather than on paper.

Frequently Asked

Practical answers.

How far in advance should I book Middle East?
Peak weeks lock 6 to 9 months ahead; shoulder weeks are often bookable inside 90 days. We hold pre-negotiated windows on roughly thirty percent of the regional fleet, which lets us recover late inquiries that public APIs show as fully committed.
What is included in the weekly rate?
The weekly rate covers the yacht, crew, insurance, all interior service and tender use. Not included: fuel, port fees, provisioning, VAT where applicable, and crew gratuity (10 to 15 percent is standard).
How are guests and cabins typically configured for Middle East?
Charter yachts sleep 10 to 12 guests in 5 to 6 cabins as a rule; the largest class sleeps 16 to 20 in 8 to 10 cabins. Single-occupancy and master-on-deck layouts vary by builder; our shortlists always disclose actual cabin-by-cabin configuration.
Can the itinerary adapt once we are aboard?
Yes. Every MYBA-form contract gives the Captain and client latitude to respond to weather and preference. Itineraries are circulated as a recommendation, not a commitment.
