National Day Yacht Package in Dubai: Dates, Times and Prices

The national day yacht package Dubai families and friends can book this year runs on three evenings – 1, 2 and 3 December 2026 – and it follows one simple formula. You get the whole yacht for your group from 18:30 to 22:30, and the price is the yacht’s regular hourly rate × 2 for those four hours. Below: the dates, the price rule with real examples from our fleet, what is included and how to book.

UAE National Day – Eid Al Etihad – is celebrated on 2 December, the day the emirates united in 1971. In 2026 the country marks its 55th National Day. The official public holiday dates are announced by the government each year, so we plan the package around the evenings themselves rather than around holiday days.

Dates and times of the National Day package

• Evenings: 1, 2 and 3 December 2026.
• Time: boarding for an 18:30 start, back at 22:30 – four hours on the water.
• One group per yacht per evening. Each yacht sails once per evening, with your group alone on board.
• Regular bookings are closed on these three dates. Other start times or shorter charters are not available on 1–3 December; from 4 December the usual hourly booking applies again.
• Departure: Dubai Marina – the exact meeting point is confirmed on WhatsApp before your cruise.

Because every yacht takes a single group per evening, the number of slots is small: eleven yachts × three evenings. The earlier you send your request, the more yachts you can choose from.

How the package price is worked out

The rule is the same for every yacht: hourly price × 2 × 4 hours, for the whole yacht, never per person. The hourly price is the one you see on each yacht page; the package simply doubles it for the four evening hours. Here are real examples from the fleet:

• Confetti 36 – up to 10 guests: 4 hours × AED 600 × 2 = AED 4,800
• Sparkle 44 – up to 12 guests: 4 hours × AED 700 × 2 = AED 5,600
• Fiesta 56 – up to 20 guests: 4 hours × AED 900 × 2 = AED 7,200
• Jubilee 82 – up to 30 guests: 4 hours × AED 1,100 × 2 = AED 8,800
• Encore 90 – up to 40 guests: 4 hours × AED 2,800 × 2 = AED 22,400
• Gala 120 – up to 90 guests: 4 hours × AED 3,500 × 2 = AED 28,000

For the full list with every yacht, see the National Day page – the prices there are calculated live from the same fleet data the booking form uses, so they always match.

Pink Yacht 64 and the birthday package

Pink Yacht 64 follows the same rule: 4 hours × AED 1,800 × 2 = AED 14,400. Its decoration and cake are not included in the hourly price, so the usual choice applies on top: the birthday package with standard decoration and cake adds AED 300 (AED 14,700 in total), or custom decoration and a custom cake are quoted from their usual starting prices.

What is included

The package changes the time and the price rule – not what you get on board. Every National Day charter includes:

• A private yacht with captain and crew
• Soft drinks and water
• Speakers for your own playlist
• Birthday decoration setup and cake arrangement on all yachts except Pink Yacht 64 – ask for the decoration in the UAE flag colours

Extras on request

Extras work exactly as on any other day and are quoted on WhatsApp: a bigger or custom cake, balloon arches and extra decoration, a photographer, a DJ for bigger groups, and catering such as grills, seafood platters or fruit platters.

How to book the National Day package

1. Pick the evening – 1, 2 or 3 December.
2. Choose the yacht for your group size. Jubilee 82 takes up to 30 guests and has a Jacuzzi on the front deck.
