Celebrate Eid Al Etihad on the pink yacht
UAE National Day (Eid Al Etihad) is celebrated on 2 December – the day the union of the emirates was declared in 1971. In 2026 the country marks its 55th National Day, and you can spend the evening on the water in Dubai with your own group.
For 1, 2 and 3 December the pink yacht runs one private evening cruise per day: a fixed 4-hour National Day package from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM for up to 20 guests. Dubai Marina lights up in the national colours, the city is in a festive mood and your group has the whole 64 ft flybridge yacht to itself.
Official public holiday dates are announced by the UAE government each year, so plan with the cruise dates above and not with expected days off.

How the National Day evenings work
- Choose 1, 2 or 3 December. Each evening the yacht takes one group, so the whole yacht is yours.
- Boarding at Dubai Marina for 6:30 PM; the cruise runs until 10:30 PM (4 hours). We share the meeting point on WhatsApp.
- Private for up to 20 guests, with captain and crew, soft drinks, water and Bluetooth speakers.
- Regular hourly bookings are closed on these three dates – the National Day package is the way to book them.
- Send the request online or on WhatsApp. We confirm availability and send a secure payment link (card, Tabby or Tamara).
Fireworks, route and dress code
Fireworks are often part of the National Day celebrations in Dubai, and the times and places are announced each year in late November. We cannot promise fireworks, exact times or a specific spot: the captain plans the route on the evening based on the official announcements, sea conditions and instructions from the authorities.
- Dress in the flag colours – green, white, black and red – for great photos on the pink decks.
- Every guest needs a valid original ID (passport or Emirates ID).
- Please arrive 15 minutes early: the cruise ends at 10:30 PM sharp, because the evening belongs to one group.
- Soft drinks and water are on board; catering is quoted on WhatsApp.
