Very clean and beautiful yacht. The crew is polite and well mannered. Wonderful decoration was done and was well beyond expectations. Food buffet was very neatly setup and the food was very tasty.

Luxury Marine 2024 New 60FT Free Jet Ski Spacious Sundeck in Dubai Best Offer
This was the highlight of our trip. The captain took us on an amazing route and we were able to capture beautiful photos. Speaking of photos one of the staff on the boat took AMAZING photos and videos of our group. Anytime our phones were out snapping pics he volunteered and did not disappoint. The entire staff was super attentive and to be honest we did not know we would have staff to wait on us on the boat. We catered food and a cake for my husband’s birthday which was delicious, I would recommend. Overall I was extremely satisfied and I will be booking the yacht again when I visit for sure.

Experience DUBAI ON OUR MAJESTY 59FT
My experience from beginning to end was a 10/10. Frank was so kind, so patient, and answered every question SUPER FAST anytime I messaged him. Our captain, Youseff was fantastic as well. He was very friendly and even let me hold his power source to charge my phone while on the yacht lol. I would definitely recommend Youseff for your captain if you have a choice. Whenever I’m in Miami again, I will definitely book with Frank! I loved everything about this experience!
