FAQ

Can I bring Food & Drinks?

Yes! You are allowed to bring your own food and drink, or arrange your own catering for your rental. This includes any kind of food, as well as alcoholic beverages.

When do I pay?

After you send a booking request, the vendor will accept or decline within an hour to a few hours. Once your booking is accepted, you will be notified by email with your trip details, as well as a Stripe payment link to pay/confirm your trip before arrival.

What’s the ‘rate’ (price) for different yachts?

Yacht rates are priced PER HOUR, and covers all your guests. The yacht rental price does not change if you have fewer guests, or more guests.

What do I need to bring for a rental in the UAE (Dubai or Abu Dhabi)?

Make sure the individual who booked the trip has their emirates ID, OR passport. Required by local regulators for yacht captains before embarking.

How long does it take to setup? Can I cancel?

Setup for Rentals can ALWAYS be made/ready for the next day, or (in some cases) on the same day.

Each vender has their own cancellation policy in their listing, otherwise if one isn’t stated the AnchorsBook policy is in effect and offers refunds for bad weather or events out of anyone’s control (e.g. coast guard directive, or damage to the watercraft). Find full details in our terms & conditions*.

You can cancel from the booking itself online, or simply contact us.

Why do I need to log in to send a booking request?

This is so that you are better able to receive booking updates (e.g. when the captain accepts your request), as well as track your booking details at any time, cancel/dispute if needed, and directly message the captain.
We also offer incentives and promotions to our users for their existing bookings, & all future ones.

I need more information, who can I contact?

Once your booking has been accepted and confirmed, you will be directly messaged by the specific yachts service crew to better coordinate pickup/dropoff or any extra details of your trip. You may also contact us at any time during any part of your booking/trip.
