Dubai by moonlight: a guide to night-time yachting experiences.

  • 24 Oct 2023

dubai magic yacht

Dubai, the shimmering jewel of the Middle East, is known for its glitzy skyscrapers, opulent shopping malls, and luxurious lifestyle. But as the sun dips below the horizon, the city transforms into a celestial oasis, offering an entirely different experience. And what better way to enjoy Dubai's nocturnal charm than aboard a yacht? Night-time yachting in Dubai isn't just a ride; it's a voyage of dreams beneath the moonlit sky.

When it comes to luxurious marine escapades, yacht rental Dubai stands out as a sought-after service among tourists and residents alike. The idea of cruising along the coast, with the iconic skyline of Dubai on one side and the vast expanse of the Arabian Gulf on the other, is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Charting the Night Waters

Begin your voyage by renting a yacht at the Dubai Marina. Known for its picturesque views and top-notch facilities, this location offers a plethora of options for yacht for rent in Dubai. With an array of yachts varying in size and facilities, there's something for every traveler, be it a romantic getaway or a party under the stars.

Once aboard, set sail towards the open waters. The moonlight reflecting off the calm waters creates a serene ambiance, perfect for a relaxing journey. With a backdrop of twinkling stars, the Palm Jumeirah looks even more enchanting from the sea. Navigate around this man-made wonder, taking in the views of luxurious villas and hotels.

Midnight Feasts and Entertainment

Dubai's yachting experience is not just about the voyage; it's also about savoring the finest cuisines under the starry sky. Many yacht rental Dubai services offer catering options, featuring gourmet dishes that are sure to tantalize your taste buds.

For those seeking entertainment, there's no dearth of options. From onboard DJs to live performances, night-time yachting can turn into a lively party scene.

Capturing the Moments

Don't forget to bring your camera along. The juxtaposition of the moonlit sea against Dubai's illuminated skyscrapers offers a myriad of photo opportunities. Capture the ethereal beauty of the Burj Al Arab or the Atlantis as you cruise by.

Wrapping Up

As the night ends and dawn approaches, head back to the marina with a heart full of memories. Night-time yachting in Dubai is not just a journey; it's an experience, a tale of romance, luxury, and the magic of moonlight.

Whether you're looking to celebrate a special occasion or just wanting to experience the city from a different perspective, a yacht for rent in Dubai is your ticket to an unforgettable nocturnal adventure. So, cast off and set sail into the moonlit waters of Dubai, and let the city's charms captivate your soul.

Sailing in Dubai: What You Can Do on a Yacht Adventure

What do you prefer to do on your vacation? Some people use this time to recharge their batteries since work and daily routines take so much of their strength and energy. Other people cannot sit still. They need an advantage that includes a variety of activities at the destination.

There’s a great opportunity to have a mix of all that you want to do during your vacation. When we talk about Dubai, there’s no such thing or activity you cannot find and try. A perfect adventure in Dubai is when you can get on board the yacht. You should definitely check out the best yachts available for rent in Dubai Marina . The city faces the Arabian Gulf and there’s no better way to look at this bustling location from the side.

If you can find fashion boutiques and white sand beaches in different parts of the world, then a yacht cruise is something you cannot miss. Just imagine that it’s a perfect opportunity for an event, whether it’s your anniversary, birthday, or any other holiday. It’s not necessary to have a celebration to rent a yacht, you can do it for the sake of a memorable holiday in the greatest city on the globe.

When renting a yacht it’s not only about looking at the sea. It’s about so many things you can do aboard. Let’s deep dive into what activities you can pursue while sailing in the Gulf.

Top activities on a yacht

Diving off the yacht

When traveling to popular tourist cities with hot climates it’s no wonder that beaches might be overcrowded. Swarms of travelers resting at the beach are not something you dream of. There’s always plenty of people in the water.

You can have a private diving party somewhere in the middle of the Gulf where no one will disturb you. There’ll be no shouting, no noisy sellers, no impolite tourists. There will be only you and your party.

Boat

Discovering distant areas

Every gem that is on the land is not so hard to find. You just need your legs or a car. By the way, while on the land, you can take advantage of one more exciting opportunity. You can consider checking the affordable car rental Dubai to have an adventure around the city.

However, how many gems are hidden in remote areas where it’s hard to get? There are plenty of them. If you are an explorer by nature, this opportunity will be tempting.

Imagine that you can sail wherever you want. Just pick the direction and go there. The only challenge is if the weather is not favorable. Other than that, you can go so far away from the land on a rental yacht , that it would seem like you are all alone in the world. That can be truly satisfactory.

Taking a photography session    

One of the ways you can make your followers jealous is by taking photos on a yacht. Your vacation destination is already a thing to be jealous of. However, a yacht adventure taken on camera is way more of a big deal. Regular vacationers’ Insta photos can’t surprise anyone unless someone hasn’t been on a vacation for a long time.

Whether you have a smartphone or a DSLR camera, you can even take fabulous underwater photos. You just need to buy a waterproof case for your gadget. There’s no need to dive deep as without training it’s dangerous. Stay on the surface and take tremendous photos.

It’s a fascinating opportunity to rent a yacht and sail to the waters of the Arabian Gulf. There you can observe Dubai from the side that someone rarely sees. You can find lots of activities you can do once on a yacht. You can engage in giving off the yacht, taking fabulous photos, and sailing to the less-known areas.

Breaking news, ohio brothers trapped in dubai after mysteriously waking up in a cop car following yacht party: ‘i want to go home’.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

A former US airman-turned-social media influencer and his brother have been trapped in Dubai for nearly two months and are possibly facing “several years” in prison after allegedly being “drugged” and waking up inside a police car.

Joseph Lopez and his brother, Joshua Lopez, set out on their trip from Ohio to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on May 25, hoping to generate luxurious content in the City of Gold, according to Fox 19 Now .

“I came out here because I wanted to shoot content and Dubai seems like this very glamorous place,” Joseph Lopez said.

Joseph Lopez (L) and his brother Joshua Lopez are currently trapped in Dubai after an incident last month ended up with them being arrested.

However, over a week into their Middle Eastern getaway, their workcation became a “real-life nightmare.”

The two brothers were enjoying a night out in Dubai when they were leaving the nightclub Bla Bla on June 2 and were approached by an Uber driver who offered to take them to an “afterparty” at a nearby hotel, according to Detained in Dubai , an organization dedicated to helping people facing legal issues in the UAE.

The pair agreed and were immediately taken to the hotel and brought to the VIP section of the party, where platters of food and drinks were given to them without their request.

About 20 minutes after arriving, the party ended, and the brothers were slapped with a massive bill.

Joseph Lopez, believing they were being duped — but not wanting to ruffle any feathers in the foreign country — reluctantly agreed to pay the bill, Detained in Dubai reported.

The brothers were gearing up to call it a night when they were reportedly approached by a man who invited them to a yacht party.

Joseph Lopez is a United States Air Force veteran turned social media influencer.

The Air Force veteran — who only left the military nine months ago — explained that he was “done spending for the night” and initially declined the offer, but the man insisted they were “American guests” and not to worry about spending money.

But once on the boat, the brothers were given drinks by staff and later charged $2,722 for the refreshments before things went from bad to worse, according to Detained in Dubai.

“This girl brought me a drink, and after she brought me this drink, I don’t remember anything,” Joseph Lopez claimed to Fox 19 Now.

The social media influencer said the rest of the night for him and his brother was a blur, claiming the woman “drugged” them.

The brothers were gearing up to call it a night when they were reportedly approached by a man who invited them to a yacht party.

It wasn’t until later in the early morning of June 3 that the two brothers were allegedly confronted by men in black ski masks speaking to them strictly in Arabic and who tried to throw them into an unmarked vehicle, Detained in Dubai reported.

Fearing they were in danger of being abducted on foreign soil, the two brothers allegedly tried to evade capture.

“The next thing I remember, I’m in the back of a car and my brother says, ‘Do you want me to get you out of here?’” the former airman claimed to Fox 19 Now.

“My arms were all scraped up and stuff and I’m like, ‘Where am I?’ I’m in the back of a car that’s locked.”

The brothers soon discovered they were in the back of a police car, and the men they feared were trying to kidnap them were actually plainclothes police officers.

oseph Lopez had only been out of the military for nine months when he and his brother were arrested in the UAE.

They were taken to the Al Barsha police station — about 12 miles from the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa — and held there from the morning of their arrest until June 12, Detained in Dubai reported.

The Ohio natives were both charged with assaulting an officer, resisting arrest, damaging a patrol vehicle, and alcohol consumption — a law that is strictly enforced in the Middle Eastern nation.

But Joseph Lopez claims he and his brother were neither given a breathalyzer test within 24 hours after their arrest nor tested for drugs for four days even though they were in custody.

The brothers were eventually given and made bail but were slapped with a travel ban, which prevented them from returning to the US.

The social media influencer said the rest of the night for him and his brother was a blur, claiming the woman “drugged” them.

“Unfortunately, they’re both now facing potential charges and prosecution that could leave them both in prison for several years,” Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling told Fox 19 Now .

However, even if the charges are dropped, Stirling fears the men could spend a lengthy time in the desert country.

“The legal process in Dubai can be drawn out for months and often the punishment is the process,” Stirling shared .

“We hope authorities in the UAE drop the investigation against Joseph and Joshua and move to investigate those potentially involved in crimes against tourists.”

The Burj Khalifa skyscraper rises from the other buildings at Downtown Dubai on April 9, 2022 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Stirling claims that “Uber drivers” target foreign tourists to bring them to events where they are scammed under the illusion that they won’t need to pay and that “plainclothed police officers often forcefully approach tourists, grab them and intimidate them without identifying themselves.”

The brothers are shacked up in an Airbnb while waiting to find out what will happen next.

“I just want to go home,” the influencer, who has a following of over 300K across Instagram and TikTok , told the outlet.

“Like I want to go home, and I want to go home soon.”

A US State Department spokesperson told Fox 19 Now that the department has “no higher priority” than assuring the “safety and security of US citizens” trapped abroad.

“We are aware of the arrest of a US citizen in the United Arab Emirates. We take our role in assisting US citizens abroad seriously and are monitoring the situation.”

Ohio brothers’ trip to Dubai leads to nightmare situation

CINCINNATI (WXIX) - A night out in Dubai has become a real-life nightmare for two stranded Ohio brothers.

With its ultra-modern architecture and beautiful beaches, Ohio native, former US airman, and current social media influencer , Joseph Lopez , says Dubai seems like the perfect spot to get away for a few weeks.

“I came out here because I wanted to shoot content and Dubai seems like this very glamorous place,” Lopez explained.

Lopez says his brother, Joshua, tagged along for the trip they started on May 25.

About a week later on June 3, Lopez says everything went south.

The brothers went out for a night on the town and eventually ended up at a yacht party at the invitation of a new foreign friend.

After a short time on the boat, Lopez says he was hit with a massive bill, one he never agreed to.

At first, he was agitated thinking the issue was resolved.

“And then this girl brought me a drink and after she brought me this drink, I don’t remember anything,” Lopez claims. “Basically, she drugged us.”

The rest of the night was a blur.

“The next thing I remember, I’m in the back of a car and my brother says, ‘Do you want me to get you out of here?’” Lopez recalls. “And my arms were all scraped up and stuff and I’m like, ‘Where am I?’ I’m in the back of a car that’s locked.”

What the Ohio native says he did not realize at the time is that he was in a police cruiser. The men in the front seat were plain-clothed officers.

Lopez says he and his brother are accused of resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and drinking alcohol, which is heavily regulated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He says despite being in police custody for days after their arrest, they didn’t take a breathalyzer test for 24 hours or a drug test for four days.

“Unfortunately, they’re both now facing potential charges and prosecution that could leave them both in prison for several years,” explains Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling.

Detained in Dubai is an organization that has helped more than 20,000 people, including the Lopez brothers, facing legal issues while in the UAE, which Stirling says is falsely advertised as a Las Vegas of the Middle East.

Stirling says it has been more than a month now, but prosecutors have still not decided whether or not to officially move forward with charges against the Lopez brothers.

They are out on bond, but are under a travel ban.

For now, they are stuck living in Airbnb waiting to see what happens next.

“I just want to go home,” Lopez says. “Like I want to go home, and I want to go home soon”

A US State Department spokesperson says, “We have no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens abroad. We are aware of the arrest of a US citizen in the United Arab Emirates. We take our role in assisting US citizens abroad seriously and are monitoring the situation. Due to privacy considerations, we have no further comment at this time.”

Guide to Dubai

The Gateway between the East and West

Skylines filled with daring architectural innovations, desert plains carved with vast luxurious offerings and palm tree shaped man-made islands sprawling from the coastline, Dubai is not so much a place to visit as a place to experience.

Already known as the superyacht centre of the Arabian Gulf , Dubai is fast becoming one of the most popular luxury yacht charter destinations . It is a place that truly embraces the ‘wow’ factor and it is here that you will find the world’s tallest building, the largest man-made islands, the richest horse race, the biggest shopping festival and the most luxurious hotel.

Delve a little deeper however and you will find a different, more authentic side to Dubai away from its Westernised ways. Whether wandering around the gold and spice souk’s, watching dhow abras weave along the waterways or enjoying the colourful festivities of Ramadam in the Heritage Village, its rich cultural traditions adds a fascinating dimension to a private luxury yacht charter vacation.

Dubai is one of seven emirates – the others being Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Fujairah, Ras al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm al Quwain – that form the United Arab Emirates. A charter itinerary in the Arabian Gulf is ideal for incorporating these different areas and/or stopping off on the way to the beautiful islands of the Seychelles or the Maldives . World-famous events such as the Dubai World Cup and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as well as the increasingly popular International Dubai Boat Show are also held in the region and are perfect for event and corporate charters.

Home to some of the best restaurants in the world, a vast range of cuisine is on offer from traditional Middle Eastern Mezze to Michelin Star European delicacies. Nightlife varies and is usually confined to the luxury hotels, however they do not disappoint and are a favourite of the world’s elite looking to party under the stars on balmy Middle Eastern evenings.

Temperatures in the emirate drop considerably from a peak of about 45C in July and the humidity starts to dissipate, so is perfect for a private yacht winter getaway when the days are warm enough to take a dip in the Arabian Sea but considerably cooler in the evening. Winter is also when emiratis participate in traditional events, including weekend evening gatherings at the heritage villages to recite poetry or dance the Liwa and Ayyalah – popular Khaleeji folk dances from the Arabian peninsula.

Social media influencer, brother stranded in Dubai after they say they were drugged during trip

CINCINNATI ( WXIX /Gray News) - An Ohio-based social media influencer and his brother have been stranded in Dubai for over a month after a trip to the popular tourist destination took a turn for the worse.

Joseph Lopez, a former U.S. Airman turned social media influencer, said Dubai seemed like the perfect place to get away for a few weeks.

“I came out here because I wanted to shoot content and Dubai seems like this very glamorous place,” Lopez said.

Lopez said his brother, Joshua, decided to tag along for the trip they started on May 25.

About a week later, Lopez said everything turned into a “real-life nightmare.”

The brothers went out for a night and eventually ended up at a yacht party.

After a short time on the boat, Lopez said he was hit with a massive bill he never agreed to. At first, he was agitated but thought the issue was resolved.

“And then this girl brought me a drink and after she brought me this drink, I don’t remember anything,” Lopez said.

He said the rest of the night was a blur.

Lopez and his brother believe that they were drugged by the woman.

“The next thing I remember, I’m in the back of a car and my brother says, ‘Do you want me to get you out of here?’” Lopez recalled. “And my arms were all scraped up and stuff and I’m like, ‘Where am I?’ I’m in the back of a car that’s locked.”

What Lopez said he did not realize at the time was that he was in a police cruiser. The men in the front seat were plain-clothed officers.

Lopez said he and his brother are accused of resisting arrest, assaulting an officer, and drinking alcohol.

Alcohol usage is heavily regulated in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

He said despite being in police custody for days after their arrest, they didn’t take a breathalyzer test for 24 hours or a drug test for four days.

“Unfortunately, they’re both now facing potential charges and prosecution that could leave them both in prison for several years,” explained Detained in Dubai CEO Radha Stirling.

Detained in Dubai is an organization that has helped more than 20,000 people, including the Lopez brothers, facing legal issues while in the UAE, which Stirling says is falsely advertised as a Las Vegas of the Middle East.

Stirling said it has been more than a month now, but prosecutors have still not decided whether or not to move forward with charges against the Lopez brothers officially.

They are out on bond but are under a travel ban.

For the time being, they are stuck living in an Airbnb, waiting to see what happens next.

“I just want to go home,” Lopez said. “Like I want to go home, and I want to go home soon.”
