Not every water activity needs to be high-speed and high-adrenaline. For guests who prefer a calmer, more mindful experience on the water, stand-up paddleboarding and kayaking offer the perfect complement to a luxury yacht charter.
During your yacht’s swimming stop — typically in the calm, sheltered waters near Palm Jumeirah or in the open Gulf — paddleboards and kayaks can be launched directly from the yacht’s swim platform. Stand-up paddleboarding is suitable for beginners, though it takes a few minutes to find your balance. The calm Gulf waters make it easier than ocean paddleboarding.
