By booking with Private Yacht Dubai, you agree to follow these terms and conditions. Failure to comply with the rules may result in fines, termination of the charter, or additional charges. For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, we ask that you respect the policies and guidelines set forth by the Dubai Coast Guard and our crew.

Damage Liabilities

Pre-Authorization Deposit:

• When you arrive at the marina, you’ll be asked for a pre-authorization of AED 1,500 on your credit card. If you prefer, you can provide cash, which will be refunded at the end of your trip. The deposit will cover any damages, extra packages, or additional services during your charter.

• Damage Notification and Charges:

If the client or their guests cause damage to the vessel, they will be notified in writing within 24 hours. A contractor will provide a repair or replacement quote, which will be sent to the client. The cost will be charged to the card used for the booking, and the quoted amount will be final.

• Additional Cleaning Fees:

Any additional cleaning required as a result of your charter (e.g., spills, stains, or excessive mess) will incur an extra charge.

• Fines for Non-Compliance:

Any fines imposed by the local marine authority due to actions or non-compliance with our policies by the lead-named charterer or their guests will be charged under the damage waiver agreement.

• Limitation of Liability:

We accept no liability or responsibility for any loss, additional expenses, accident, injury, sickness, or death that may occur during your charter.

• Pets:

No animals or pets of any sort may be taken on board.

• Smoking Policy:

Smoking is strictly prohibited inside the interior of the yacht. Failure to comply will result in the immediate termination of the charter, and no refund will be provided.
