Pet owners keep their furry friends safe by managing supervision on deck throughout the voyage. Owners keep animals on a leash in open areas, while dedicated shaded zones and indoor saloons offer relief from direct sunlight. Bringing fresh drinking water, favorite snacks, and waste bags ensures your dog remains comfortable while cruising on a private yacht. Crew members can supply fresh water bowls, life jackets, and cooling mats upon request. Should you wish to arrange a customized gathering, hosting a special pet party or celebration on the deck brings together your group for a unique day on the water.

MoreStandard Amenities Included with Every Charter
Every voyage booked through Marina Shamal includes a licensed captain and professional crew who manage all navigation tasks. Onboard systems feature Bluetooth sound setups, air-conditioned saloon spaces, complimentary mineral water, and ice for your group. Guests can play their own music playlists and gather in air-conditioned lounges whenever they want a break from outdoor warmth. If you plan an executive gathering with your team, reserving a corporate event on a yacht delivers a customized private atmosphere along the shoreline. We also arrange optional add-ons like water sports or specialized decorations through our management team before departure.
Full Service Catering and Beverage Services Onboard
Bringing your own meals, treats, and beverages, including alcohol, is welcomed on board at no additional cost or corkage fee. For extra convenience, guests can request arranged add-on catering such as live barbecue menus, light platters, or celebratory cakes. Dinner served on board can be set up starting from AED 250 per guest, with pre-arrival yacht decorations available from AED 350. Dedicated water bowls and animal treat stations can be prepped before you arrive. Our team handles every meal setup smoothly so you can focus entirely on your guests and furry companions throughout the journey.
What Fleet Sizes Accept Pet Companions?
Selecting the ideal craft depends on your group size and layout preferences. Our company offers 77 of our 88 vessels for pet owners, featuring motor yachts and power catamarans spanning lengths from 40 to 164 ft. Compact day cruisers provide intimate settings for couples or small families, while large flybridge designs comfortably host up to 75 guests. Booking a luxury boat charter in Dubai gives your companions plenty of room to explore wide outdoor decks safely. Wide walkways and sprawling sunbeds ensure everyone onboard finds a relaxed spot during the journey.
Flexible Charter Duration Options Suit Your Journey
Reserving a vessel gives you complete control over your timetable with hourly slots available morning, afternoon, or evening. While single-hour trips offer a quick spin along the coastline, booking a duration of 2 to 3 hours allows ample time to reach key landmarks while giving animals time to adjust to the gentle motion of the sea. Longer full-day trips give ample time for relaxed cruising and anchoring. If weather conditions prevent safe sailing, guests can freely choose between rescheduling for another date or receiving a full refund. Water sports like jet skis or paddle boards can be added to your schedule upon request.
Which Coastal Landmarks Will Your Cruise Pass?
Departing from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour puts your group on a scenic route toward famous waterfront sights. Voyages pass the towering Ain Dubai wheel, the residential skyline of JBR, and the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah near Atlantis. Extending your charter time allows the motor yacht to head toward the iconic sails of Burj Al Arab or navigate into the quiet channels of Dubai Water Canal. For a memorable evening on the Gulf, organizing a yacht dinner in Dubai lets guests dine against illuminated skyline views. Every route is tailored by the captain to match your time on the water.
