Dubai's business and leisure economy keeps inbound demand steady year-round, not just in peak season.

Why this matters for your fleet

Hotel RevPAR is up +16% and ADR up +13% year on year. Visitors are paying more for rooms, and a private charter sits in the same spending bracket. We route charter enquiries directly to subscribed, verified operators, so you spend your time quoting guests who have already given us a date, a guest count and a budget.

Onboarding our founding operators

We're verifying our first cohort of UAE operators now. Every operator is checked for trade licence, marine insurance and vessel registration before we list them. Self-reported claims alone are not enough. Applications below.

Our verification process

Before any operator appears on this site, we run four mandatory checks. We do not list operators on the basis of self-reported claims alone.

UAE Trade License

Every listed operator must hold a valid UAE trade license issued by DED (Dubai) or ADCCI (Abu Dhabi). We verify the license number and expiry date before listing.

Marine Insurance

Operators must carry valid marine liability insurance covering passengers. We request a certificate of insurance and verify it covers the boats and routes they advertise.

Licensed Captains

All captains must hold a valid UAE Maritime Authority licence. We verify the licence number and confirm it covers the vessel class being chartered.

Vessel Registration

Every boat must be registered with the UAE Maritime Authority and carry a valid safety certificate. We check registration numbers match the boats advertised.

What we don't do

We don't invent reviews or ratings

We don't list operators who haven't passed all four checks

We don't accept payment to list unverified operators

We don't show fake 'X people viewed this today' counters

We don't display star ratings until we have verifiable review data

We don't hide fees. If an operator pays us a referral fee, we say so
