Information collected during booking
When you request a charter from our fleet of 88 yachts and boats ranging from 33 ft to 164 ft, we process the information you provide in the chat. This includes your name, preferred contact details, requested date, duration from 2 hours, and selected departure point at Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour. We record your choices regarding extra services, such as catering, water sports, transfer arrangements, or custom menus. When you pay the 30 % deposit to hold your date, financial transactions are handled through secure payment providers. We do not require passports or identification documents to confirm your booking or board our vessels.
Managing your data and contacting us
You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about your charter bookings, ask for corrections, or request complete deletion of your records. Because we do not publish phone numbers, postal addresses, or email addresses, all privacy requests and booking communications are handled directly through WhatsApp. Our team responds within 15 minutes during our daily operating hours of 9:00 to 23:00 GST. To exercise any of your data protection rights, simply open the messaging window using the WhatsApp button on this site and send your instruction directly to our support team.
Website cookies and technical tracking
Our website uses essential cookies to ensure the online platform functions correctly and to monitor general website performance. These digital tools help us analyze traffic patterns, see how visitors browse our fleet listings, and improve the user experience across different devices. We do not store financial details or sensitive credentials within cookies. Standard analytics help us evaluate interest in different vessel sizes and routes departing from Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina. You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your web browser settings at any time, though some functional site features may depend on basic technical cookies.
Purpose of processing your data
We use your details solely to coordinate your trip and fulfill your booking requirements. This includes confirming your date upon receipt of the 30 % deposit, preparing the boat with included items like soft drinks, ice, and towels, and setting up requested add-ons such as fishing tackle or catering menus. If bad weather prevents sailing, we use your contact details to arrange a new date or issue a full refund as you choose. We also use this data to calculate total costs, which range from 600 AED to 18900 AED per hour and already include VAT, ensuring clear communication.
Clear answers before booking
Will my personal information be disclosed to outside companies?
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. Data is shared only with payment processors to handle your 30 % deposit or specific service providers you request, such as third-party caterers, photographers, or transfer drivers. Every charter includes a licensed captain and crew, but we do not submit guest data to outside parties.
What is the retention period for personal charter records?
We retain your charter details and message history only as long as necessary to complete your booking, process payments, and satisfy accounting standards. Once your trip from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour is finished and all transaction records are settled, you may request the immediate deletion of your communication logs via our WhatsApp chat.
