Factors to Consider Before Choosing a Yachting Service
Reputable Service Provider
Of course, you want to book a trip with a trusted service provider. Good thing there are hundreds of certified brokers who will match you up with the right service provider. After hiring a broker, you can inquire about all the available services you can expect from a yachting company, including payment method, safety gears, vessel maintenance, yacht evaluation, and registration.
If you prefer to book a trip on your own, we strongly recommend checking online for reputable service providers in Dubai.
The Crew
You can choose to navigate the charter yacht on your own or hire a crew that’s provided by the yacht service. If you are not familiar with the routes then we strongly recommend getting a knowledgeable skipper to do all the navigation for you! If you chose a skipper, take the time to discuss the best routes to take to your destination.
Safety
Most sailing services offer a comprehensive selection of safety gears and equipment to ensure a safe trip. However, do not rely on flashlights and lifejackets alone, you need to list down the local emergency numbers in Dubai. The emergency number of the Dubai coast guard is 996 while police number is 999.
Before the trip, make sure to monitor the weather and watch out for warnings from the National Centre of Meteorology and Seismology. You can also check with the Dubai Coastal Zone Monitoring for weather forecast and coastal measurements.
