Employee Awards Yacht Dubai

Awards night, sales celebration, long-service recognition or partner awards: four ways to thank your people on a private yacht in Dubai.

Speaker addressing employees on a yacht deck at night in Dubai

An employee awards yacht in Dubai turns recognition into an experience: a private venue, a stage moment on deck, dinner and a DJ, planned by one Mala Yachts Dubai event planner. 4-hour packages start from AED 20,150 + VAT; most awards nights run 5–6 hours.

This page sits inside our corporate yacht charter Dubai planning hub. Pair with team building on a yacht for a full programme if needed.

Why hold your awards ceremony on a yacht?

Privacy and focus — no shared lobby, no event next door. The yacht is yours for the whole charter.
Open space for activities — deck challenges, quizzes and competitions work better outdoors. Browse our corporate yacht games and icebreakers by group size.
Built-in reward — a buffet on deck, a DJ and a route past Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis turn the day into staff recognition.
One planner, one invoice — yacht, timing, catering, AV, activities and onboard flow through one contact and one proposal.

Employee awards yacht Dubai FAQs

Can we run an awards ceremony with stage and lighting on a yacht?
Yes. Staging, lighting and sound are rehearsed on board before guests arrive so each award moment runs smoothly against the Dubai skyline.
Do you supply trophies for employee awards nights?
Trophies are usually client-provided. Mala builds the winning moment with ceremony production, timing, AV and photography on deck.
How long should an employee awards yacht charter be?
Most awards nights run 5–6 hours: boarding, dinner, the awards programme and a DJ cruise. Shorter celebration cruises from 4 hours work for sales-target events.
What do employee awards packages cost?
4-hour packages start from AED 20,150 + VAT on Black Berry (80 guests), with Mazayal and AK packages at AED 26,000 and AED 34,000 + VAT.
