If you ask someone about the best things to do with family in Dubai, they would have a never-ending list of places and activities backed by some stories.
One thing I would say is that people have mixed experiences with Dubai. But if I talk about mine, it was beyond ordinary and something that one could ever live as a dream. While I am sharing it with you, I still feel like reliving those golden moments again—breathing the cooler and calmer breeze….. somewhere between the vast blue skies on the Arabian waters.
But before I start with my experience, let’s not make you feel like hearing the rants of a creature from another planet.
Just a quick introduction
Hi mates, I’m Henry!Just like you guys, I’m an ordinary person who has experienced the extraordinary. It would not be wrong if I introduced myself as a family-oriented person who always wants to live the best of everything with his family.Unlike every year’s trip, I wanted this experience to be one of a kind. With a mutual decision, my wife and I gave in to Dubai. The next thing I did was quite predictable. Took out my phone and did what you all do; searched for the best places to visit in Dubai with family. The results Google came up with were abundant yet confusing. It popped up with lots of attractions and places to go in Dubai with family. And we wanted it all!Being the craziest couple, we wanted to go skydiving, but what about our toddlers? And if we take them to an amusement park, what about our emotions?After spending hours on what to go for and what not, my wisest better half came up with an idea.
The idea we came up with — Dreamy one!
My Wife, Ella, Said, “Harry, why not find a midway that works best for all four of us?” I asked, “Umm, and what could be that midway? " “Yachting!” she excitedly said. Without a second thought, I gave in. Because I knew we had not done it before. By this time, our research had become more specific. From looking for places to visit in Dubai for family to looking for yacht rentals in Dubai, we were close to finding what we needed. [A secret tip]Let me share a quick secret: I always choose organic websites instead of blindly clicking on sponsored ones. That’s what worked for me here, too. After exploring two to three yacht rental services in Dubai, I got a quote and some basic ideas of destinations from different yacht rentals Dubai. Finally, I landed the best yacht rental Dubai service.
After exploring yacht rental packages for tourists in Dubai, Ella and I mutually decided on the things and destinations we wanted, we started by looking for the services, customization, type of yacht, and best slots. Having two toddlers, we did not wish to compromise their fun with ours…You know, just nice parenting to the Gen-Z, so we wanted it to be equally fun-filled for them, too. So, we chartered a full-option, family-friendly yacht rental for a half day to make each moment worth it.And Finally, the day came!!!!
The excitement and experience of yacht onboarding
The most exciting moment was when we got on board. The day was pleasant, and thankfully, the weather turned out to be kind to us and our super-sensitive skins. My kids were already on the seventh sky, seeing the vast blue Arabian Gulf. Ella and I gave each other a winning smile because we knew it was going to be an everlasting experience. And yeah, it turned out the same!
A warm welcome
What we loved about the yacht was its spacious deck, premium feel, and professional yet friendly cabin crew. We were warmly received and served with a complimentary drink from the Land of Arabia. Though Ella and I together had planned the itinerary, destinations, and everything ourselves, you’ll get to know how our expectations met reality. But, there was something I wasn’t told of.
Some cherries on the top; Unmatchable services
We started from Dubai Marina, it was just the start of our cruise. Ella wanted us to relax for a while; our kids enjoyed watching the iconic waters through the glass cabins. Meanwhile, we had a private massage therapist who soothed our jetlagged bodies to rejuvenate us. It was enough for an excellent start, especially for sailing through the Dubai waters. Once we were fresh and back, we were greeted by a private chef, who asked for our bespoke menu. We got ourselves seafood with drinks and an Italian cuisine for our younger ones.
The super-exciting celebration (I wasn’t told of it)
Meanwhile, we had a chance to have some quality family time, holding our little ones and living in the serene landscape of Dubai. We were near Blue Water Island; we clicked some nice photographs of ours. Then came the most fascinating part, which was no lesser than a delightful and appealing sight. Seeing them happy made us even happier. And it just didn’t end there. We had arranged a magician show to keep them engaged and amused. They were overly jubilant seeing the tricks and magics and enjoying it all in a highly luxurious yacht.
Little did I know she had something to debunk, and undoubtedly, she chose the perfect spot and the perfect moment to make it happen. As I said, it was an extraordinary experience; I myself didn’t know how, but Ella made it the best of the best. By the time we had crossed the Atlantis, I realized my family was off the sight. The moment I got down the stairs, I was accompanied by a private waiter who took me to the corner cabin that I had not had a chance to see before. The moment I entered, It was all dark and suddenly illuminated with lights and pretty decor. My wife and kids were extremely excited. All I could see was the magical happiness on their bright faces and the decor saying,“Four….No More! We are happy 5” I could not believe it….. Oh, my goodness. It was the best moment that sparked our Dubai trip even more. Everything from arrangements to decor, music, and aesthetics was on point. It just didn’t end here.
Memorable spots for lifetime memories
By this time, we had sailed across the World Island; we had our food, nicely prepared and served, mouthwatering and the nicest feast. The waiters were kind enough to take care of us without disrupting our family time. We spent some time together, and by the time we were near the Burj Al Arab, there came a professional photographer. This was Ella’s part of the plan, and we felt comfortable with the photographer, while he clicked the most amazing snaps with the jaw-dropping Burj Al Arab in the background. Besides doing the best activities in Dubai for family, we enjoyed the state-of-the-art music system and luxurious facilities that made our cruise next level.
The much-needed beach time
We were in the last few hours of our cruise. It was almost golden hour when we went down to the sunset beach to swim in the stunning waters with sunlight shining on them. It was such a calm and soothing place. By the time we had made the best of memories, it was time to see Dubai’s most iconic landmark, Burj Khalifah, on our way back to Dubai Marina. Once again, it was fun and refreshing to adore the beauty of Dubai at dusk; it was irresistibly beautiful. Once again, it all went in cheers, giggles, and love. Just like the start, the goodbye was smooth and warm. We reached Dubai Amrina on time and the five hours spent on the water felt so rejuvenating and riched in opulence. Yachting was a heavenly experience.
Our yachting experience summarized
We had a golden chance to explore all the best attractions in Dubai for families on a yacht, and it was a wonderful experience. We were proud of our decision to charter a yacht rental in Dubai to make such lifelong memories. It indeed turned out to be the best way to explore the best places to go with family in Dubai without being tired of long stretch walks and cramps. I must say that Ella honestly did her best to make this cruise an everlasting experience. And yeah, she did it. But her planning could not have been executed so smoothly without such a friendly crew and supportive team.
A little note of appreciation for Elite Yacht Rentals
From our first greeting to the last goodbye, every movement spent on the yacht was unmatchable. Though it was our first yachting experience on the Arabian Gulf, the booking team of Elite Yacht Rentals Dubai helped us tailor our yacht cruise the way we wanted. They added a touch of perfection and professionalism in everything from on-time onboarding to culinary, photography, theme, and everything else. We just felt so relieved with our decision to choose the best yacht rental services in Dubai. We loved spending time on their family-friendly yacht and skilled crew. From that yacht day to this, we still admire our photographs and the everlasting joy of the surprise. Nothing could have been this smooth and perfect without this luxurious and next-level experience. Elite Yacht Rentals Dubai never compromises on the quality of service, so I’d highly recommend it to anyone who craves an enticing and unique experience in Dubai. No matter whether you’re coming with your family for a honeymoon or just a celebration, you won’t regret choosing it. Because they know the art of making customers happier and satisfied and over serve than the expectations. Lastly, if you want to know the price, I would say you get yourself a quote according to the purpose of your yacht rental, as the price varies as per the customization and add-on services. But one thing I assure you of is the quality of experience on board. Like us, you will love it too!
