Grand Yachts operates from the Habtoor Business Tower in the heart of Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), one of Dubai's most vibrant waterfront districts. The company provides private and shared yacht charters that cruise along the Arabian Gulf, offering panoramic views of iconic landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab, Palm Jumeirah, and the Dubai Marina skyline. Onboard, guests can enjoy amenities like sun decks, lounges, and catering options. The experience is tailored for both relaxation and sightseeing, with opportunities for swimming or photography against the glittering city backdrop.
