Day 1 – Abu Dhabi to Dibba: After departing Abu Dhabi Marina, the yacht glides north across the calm Gulf waters. By afternoon, anchor in a tranquil bay near Dibba.

Day 2 – Musandam Fjords & Khasab: Sail into the heart of the Musandam fjords, where towering limestone cliffs frame shimmering blue waters. Dolphins often accompany the yacht, leaping gracefully alongside. Anchor near Khasab to enjoy a guided dolphin-watching experience before returning onboard for a lavish lunch with panoramic views. The rest of the day invites relaxation and photography amid this breathtaking landscape.
Day 3 – Telegraph Island: Morning brings arrival at the legendary Telegraph Island, once a British telegraph station in the 19th century. Now, it’s a sanctuary of calm and color — the surrounding coral reefs are perfect for snorkeling. After swimming and exploring, guests can enjoy a freshly prepared lunch, followed by quiet hours on deck, soaking in the serenity of the fjords.
Day 4 – Hidden Fjord Inlets: Continue exploring the hidden inlets of the Musandam region. The yacht navigates narrow channels flanked by cliffs, offering a sense of intimacy with nature rarely experienced elsewhere. The afternoon is ideal for paddleboarding or kayaking through the calm waters, while the crew prepares a beachside picnic or sunset barbecue. Evening descends softly, and the yacht becomes a floating sanctuary of elegance.
Day 5 – Return to Dibba: The yacht sails back toward Dibba, stopping in a secluded cove for swimming and snorkeling. Guests can enjoy water sports or simply unwind in the comfort of the shaded deck areas. Dinner features freshly grilled seafood paired with chilled beverages, ending the day with relaxed laughter and gentle music.
Day 6 – Fujairah Coastline: Sail south along Fujairah’s coastline, where the rugged mountains meet crystal water. Spend the day diving or exploring hidden coves, or simply savoring the sun on deck. Lunch is served alfresco, and the final dinner of the journey is a chef’s showcase of regional and international cuisine, enjoyed under a velvet sky alive with stars.
Day 7 – Return to Abu Dhabi: Wake to the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and breakfast on deck as the yacht charts her course homeward. The approach to Abu Dhabi Marina offers one last panoramic view of the city — a fitting finale to a voyage defined by natural wonder, luxury, and serene discovery.
