Yacht Cruising & Sanbouk (Dhow)
Qatar, Doha
Yacht and Sanbouk (Dhow) cruises in Qatar provide a premier way to experience the Arabian Gulf, combining luxurious sightseeing with cultural heritage. Modern yachts offer comfort and speed for island hopping or high-end parties, while traditional wooden Dhows offer a slower, authentic experience often featuring dinner and city lights viewing from the water. Both options offer stunning perspectives of the Doha skyline and are popular for private events, relaxation, and sunset viewing.

Vessels are covered by marine insurance, which covers third-party liability and damage to the boat itself. Guests are typically required to sign a liability waiver. Personal travel or health insurance that covers recreation/accident is strongly advised, as the charter fee does not cover individual medical costs.
