If you thought Dubai had
reached its peak of luxurious living, then think again. Residents can now have
high tea on a luxury yacht.
It's not an average Dubai
yacht. Celebs like Craig David, boxer Amir Khan, Gigi Hadid and the Fast and
the Furious actors have boarded onto this cruise vessel for private photo
shoots.
The 'High Tea at Sea' concept
has been launched by Xclusive Yachts after receiving an increasing number of
demands from clients to add daytime activities. It already operates for sunset
cruises.
"The idea here is that
Dubai doesn't have much to do, especially in the sea. Having high tea in the
sea is innovative. You can have high tea in the Burj Al Arab or the Madinat,
but you can't have in the sea, until now at least," said Amit Patel, the
managing director of Xclusive Yachts.
"It's a new theme so we
can give our clients something to do. People come in during daytime and they
say they want food, they want to have lunch and we had to tell them to wait a
couple of hours for the sunset cruise. But with this, they can have food in the
daytime."
Patel said the target audience
is mainly Western nationalities, however, they've seen a growing interest from
expats from the Middle Eastern region.
"This cruise fills the
daytime void. There's brunch, but people don't want to drink, so they prefer
high tea," he said.
The High Tea at Sea cruise
will operate twice each week and can carry up to 200 people on each trip. The
management team at Xclusive Yachts had been planning this type of cruise for
months.
"It required a lot of
planning right from choosing the right caterers that could best match the level
of quality and service that Xclusive offers. Everything now up in place, we are
excited to announce the launch this week" said Simon, the sales director
for Xclusive Yachts.
Other services offered by
Xclusive Yachts are yacht chartering, guided sightseeing tours, dinner or
sunset cruise, fishing sport, lazy lagoon, speed boats and now High-Tea.
