Why we exist

The sea belongs to everyone

Why should sailing solo mean sitting it out? Why should a good day on the water depend on already knowing enough people to fill a boat? Bonjour Cruise exists so that anyone, on their own, with family or with their closest friends, can swim, laugh and simply exhale, with a warm crew and a well-vetted crowd, nothing to watch for. The sea was never meant to leave anyone on the shore. Come as one, leave with friends, that is the whole idea.

How it works

Three steps to open water

01

Choose your cruise

Reserve a single seat on a shared departure, or charter the whole yacht for your group. Pick the mood, we shape the rest.

02

Reserve in minutes

Book your seat online in a few taps, or send a private-charter request. We confirm your date, your yacht and every privacy detail before you sail.

03

Step aboard, exhale

Your captain and crew welcome you on deck. From that moment, the sea is entirely yours.

Come as one. Leave with friends.

For the first time in Dubai, sailing alone is not a problem to solve. Reserve a single seat and pay only for yourself, never the whole yacht, and step aboard with people you have not met yet. Come solo or bring a friend, and most guests leave with new ones. We group departures by age, so you sail with people in the same chapter of life.

  • From AED 380 / seat (launch offer)
  • Solo-friendly
  • Well-vetted crowd, always

It is still a warm, respectful crowd in small groups, with the same crew, halal or classic, and the same privacy protocol. The only difference: a few other guests share the deck, and what you wear stays your personal choice. Shared dates set sail once a small minimum is reached; if one does not fill, we move you to the next or refund you in full.

Why Bonjour Cruise

Privacy is not a feature. It is the design.

Every detail of our protocol exists so you can be fully yourself on the water, nothing to manage, nothing to watch for.

Curtained mooring

We anchor in calm, low-traffic spots and deploy deck screening, so your swim and your celebration stay yours alone.

No-drone policy

No drones over our charters, ever, ours or anyone else's. Our crew actively monitors the airspace around the yacht.

Photographer option

Want memories captured? A professional photographer joins on request, and every photo belongs to you only.

Prayer space on board

A clean, dedicated prayer area with qibla direction and fresh prayer mats is prepared on every single cruise.

Between us

The Bonjour Charter

A small promise we all make to one another, so everyone on board feels as free as you do.

01

Discretion first

What happens on deck stays on deck. No photo or video of another guest without their clear yes.

02

Kindness on board

Every age, every background, every style of dress is welcome. We sail as equals, never as judges.

03

Your choice, always

Swim or simply rest, hijab on or off if that is what you prefer. Each guest enjoys the day their own way, no comments.

04

On time, together

We set sail as one. Arriving a few minutes early keeps the whole day calm for everyone aboard.

Questions

Everything you want to know

Who makes up the crew?

Captain, hosts, photographer, spa therapists, every professional on board is trained, vetted and held to the same warm standard. It is the founding rule of Bonjour Cruise and we have never made an exception.

How private is a shared cruise?

Very. That is exactly what our privacy protocol is for. Once we are underway with curtained mooring in place, the deck is a relaxed, easy space, swim, dance, let go of the day.

Is the food halal, and is there alcohol?

You choose. Every cruise comes in a halal version (certified catering, an alcohol-free table and a prayer space) or a classic version. We never serve alcohol ourselves; on a classic or private cruise you are welcome to bring your own.

Is Bonjour Cruise only for Muslim guests?

Not at all. Bonjour Cruise is for everyone. The constant is a warm, vetted crew and full privacy; halal catering, a prayer space and an alcohol-free table are options you choose, never requirements. Muslim or not, solo, with friends or with your family, you are welcome.

Can I bring my partner or male friends, and can we sail as a family?

Yes. Bonjour Cruise is a mixed, social brand, everyone aged 18 and over is welcome. Our private charters welcome whoever you choose, including mixed family groups with children, and the crew keeps the same warm standard so everyone on board is completely at ease.

Can I book just for myself, or come alone?

Yes, that is exactly what our by-the-seat option is for. Reserve a single seat on a scheduled cruise and pay only for yourself instead of the whole yacht, from AED 380 per seat (launch offer). Come solo or bring a friend; you will sail with a handful of other guests, and most guests leave with new ones. It is still a warm, respectful atmosphere with the same crew, halal or classic, and the same privacy protocol. Shared departures sail once a small minimum of guests is reached, if a date does not fill, we move you to the next one or refund you in full.

How does pricing work?

Two ways to pay. A private charter (the whole yacht) starts from AED 2,200 per hour, with fixed prices on packaged experiences, Sunset Brunch at AED 7,500, Creator Photoshoot at AED 6,500. Or join a cruise by the seat from AED 380 per person (launch offer). Catering, crew and the full privacy protocol are always included, and we confirm a complete quote before you pay anything.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free date change up to 7 days before departure. Between 72 hours and 7 days before, one free reschedule to a date within 6 months, or a 50% refund. Within 72 hours the booking is non-refundable, though we always try to rebook you. And if we cancel, for weather, the coastguard or a shared cruise that does not reach its minimum, you choose a full refund or a priority rebooking. Full details are in our terms.

What should we bring?

Swimwear, sunscreen and whatever makes you feel good. Towels, fresh water, sunshade, a changing cabin and the prayer space are already on board. For spa and henna cruises, simply arrive, everything is prepared.

Are there prayer facilities on board?

Yes. Every yacht has a clean, dedicated prayer area with fresh mats and qibla direction indicated. The crew will gladly adjust the route timing around prayer times if you wish.
