On the water

Yacht day companion in Dubai

Rasha joins a yacht charter out of Dubai Marina as company for the day: a sunset cruise down the coast, a weekend afternoon off Palm Jumeirah, or a corporate day on the water with guests aboard. For hosts who have booked the boat and would rather not host it alone. Social companionship only, and the fee is for her time and company.

A charter day, as it usually runs

Most Marina charters are four to six hours: out past Bluewaters, along the Palm, an hour at anchor for swimming, then back as the skyline turns. She is comfortable on a boat, she does not disappear for the whole afternoon, and she is good at the part of hosting that is simply talking to whoever is standing alone at the rail.

What she brings

A day wardrobe and something to change into, sun sense, and sea legs that do not need the third hour to settle. The charter, the crew, the catering and the route are yours to arrange — she comes as a guest, not as crew and not as an organiser.

Corporate days with guests aboard

If the afternoon is for clients, tell her who is coming. She greets Gulf guests in Arabic and European guests in French, keeps conversation moving between people who have only just met, and stays off any photograph taken for a company account.

Sunset, and the months it works best

October to April is the season; the light from six o'clock is the reason people book these afternoons at all. July and August are honest work on the water, and a shorter sunset run is the kinder plan.

Notice for a day on the water

A few days, more for a weekend sunset slot, because the good boats and the good hours go first. Write with the date, the marina, the length of the charter and who is aboard.

Asked about this

Three questions about yacht day companion in Dubai

No. The charter, crew and catering are booked by you with the operator you prefer; Rasha joins the day as company. Nothing is paid through this site.

No. She stays out of photographs, including ones taken for social media or a corporate page, and that is not negotiable.

Yes — a two or three hour sunset cruise is a common afternoon, and easier to arrange at short notice than a full day.
