You are going to celebrate a milestone. You find a Luxury yacht Abu Dhabi charter that looks great in pictures. You make a reservation, pay the deposit, and three weeks before your event you find out that the yacht holds 40 but only has 20 seats. This was never mentioned during your booking.
What Luxury Actually Is
Abu Dhabi should offer real luxury yacht cruises with clear amenities: crew standards, food and drink included, sound system grade, swimming platform access, and interior/exterior space per passenger. The use of vague luxury terms helps the various services with lesser quality stay behind and even get to be perceived as better because of their marketing.
The Hidden Costs That Appear at Checkout
The starting charter fees do not include fuel surcharges, crew tips (15-20% normally), catering, bar services, water toys, and marina fees. What initially seems to be an AED 8,000 charter ends up being AED 14,000 after mandatory add-ons which you might not have considered in your budgeting.
Why Booking Through Resorts Costs 40% More
The first-class hotel concierges are receiving significant commissions for the yacht referrals—commissions that you are paying through the higher prices. Booking directly with the yacht companies eliminates the middleman and cheapens the service by hundreds of dirhams in some cases.
