This year’s 23rd edition of the Dubai International Boat Show reported a high attendance and strong sales. The United Arab Emirates-based Al Shaali Marine announced that it is expecting to sell at least three superyachts and seven medium-sized boats, with more leads expected to converts in subsequent weeks.

A mega yacht charter or a superyacht charter means bespoke personalisation. Depending on the customer’s requirements, a yacht charter vacation may incorporate destinations that offer the much treasured privacy and tranquil surroundings, discovering new, otherwise unreachable worlds of the South Pacific or the more remote destinations of Antarctica. Other guests might enjoy the vibrant life of the French Riviera or indulging in the Italy‘s ‘Dolce Vita’. United Arab Emirates, including Dubai yacht charter and Abu Dhabi yacht charter are also popular with Arab clients who, in addition to family vacations, might choose Middle East yacht charter for business purpose; and by inviting their clients and partners, combining business with pleasure.

Privacy is perhaps the most important factor appreciated by the Middle Eastern clientele when deciding on the next vacation destination. Travelling aboard a luxury yacht allows clients to relax and enjoy their precious time with family and friends, away form the crowds and unwanted attention. They can embrace the solitude of a remote anchorage and explore the many fantastic destinations around the world.

One of the vital elements of every yacht charter is the crew. The professional and discrete manner of these individuals has been greatly appreciated by Arab customers. All members of the crew are meticulously chosen, based upon their previous experiences, training and industry references. These are highly trained men and women, providing the highest level of service without compromising on the privacy and personal space of the customers aboard. Large superyachts and mega yachts have the crew quarters completely separated from the guest areas, which allows for additional seclusion and personal space. Everyone aboard works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that a complete satisfaction of all charter guests has been achieved.

Multi-level deck spaces offer plenty of relaxation and entertainment areas. No superyacht is built without the popular Jacuzzi or a spa these days. The opulent staterooms usually include a large full-beam master stateroom or even an entire deck dedicated to the owner’s quarters. VIP stateroom follows, with additional double or twin guest cabins, usually accommodating up to twelve charter guests in total. Each stateroom has its own en-suite bathroom, luxury linens, amenities, air conditioning and an entertainment system with a great selection of music and DVDs.
