How we deliver live entertainment on a yacht in Dubai
The right live act changes the entire energy of a yacht event. We curate from a roster of vetted Dubai-based and touring performers, acoustic and electric saxophonists, violinists, classical and crossover string quartets, jazz trios, percussionists, vocalists, function bands, oud players, ouddrum duos, MCs, dancers and specialist acts (fire, LED, aerial where the deck plan allows).
Most events run a layered programme: an acoustic act for arrival and canapés (sax or violin), a band or live duo for dinner, then a DJ for the after-dinner party, sometimes with a live percussionist or sax-over-DJ layered in for energy. For ceremonies we cover string ensembles for the aisle, vocalists for the first dance, and choirs for gospel weddings.
Every booking includes the rider, equipment, monitoring, mic checks and the timing run with our event manager. Performers arrive briefed on your run of show, dress code and timing cues.
