Birthday and Yacht Parties From Yas Island
A private yacht is an easy place to throw a party: there is no other group on board, the view changes all the time, and the crew takes care of the yacht while you take care of the celebration. Whether it is a child’s birthday, a milestone for a parent or a get-together with friends, you can plan it on WhatsApp in a few messages.
If you would like the party to start at Yas Marina on Yas Island, choose one of our two Yas Marina yachts – the Yas Horizon or the Yas Lounge. Our other yachts depart from other Abu Dhabi locations, and we confirm the meeting point on WhatsApp.

Party Ideas on a Yacht
Kids’ birthdays
Daytime trips work well for children. The Saltwater 75, which departs from another Abu Dhabi location, has a water slide, a trampoline and a floating sea pool that we can set up on request, and its wide catamaran deck gives kids room to move. The captain decides when and where it is safe to swim.
Evening birthdays and surprises
After sunset, the deck lights come on and the city lights up around you. The Yas Horizon is a good fit for evening parties of up to 20, with an open upper deck for music and an indoor lounge for the cake.
Big family celebrations
For 30 to 35 guests, our houseboats give you the most space per dirham. They move at an easy pace, which suits grandparents and young children.
