Why we exist

The sea belongs to every woman

Why should a woman who covers not feel the wind on her own terms? Why should any woman have to choose between her privacy and a day on the water? Madame Cruise exists so that every woman, veiled or not, on her own, with her family or with her closest friends, can swim, laugh and simply exhale, with a 100% female crew and nothing to watch for. The sea was never meant to leave anyone on the shore. This is what we call Madame only, a deck that is entirely, unapologetically hers.

How it works

Three steps to open water

01

Choose your cruise

Reserve a single seat on a shared ladies-only departure, or charter the whole yacht for your group. Pick the mood, we shape the rest.

02

Reserve in minutes

Book your seat online in a few taps, or send a private-charter request. We confirm your date, your yacht and every privacy detail. No men, ever.

03

Step aboard, exhale

Your captain and hostesses, all women, welcome you on deck. From that moment, the sea is entirely yours.

Come as one. Leave with friends.

For the first time in Dubai, sailing alone is not a problem to solve. Reserve a single seat and pay only for yourself, never the whole yacht, and step aboard with women you have not met yet. Come solo or bring a friend, and most guests leave with new ones. We group departures by age, so you sail with women in the same chapter of life.

  • From AED 380 / seat (launch offer)
  • Solo-friendly
  • All-women, always

It is still a completely men-free space, with the same female crew, halal or classic, and the same privacy protocol. The only difference: a few other women share the deck, and the hijab stays your personal choice. Shared dates set sail once a small minimum is reached; if one does not fill, we move you to the next or refund you in full.

Why Madame Cruise

Privacy is not a feature. It is the design.

Every detail of our protocol exists so you can be fully yourself on the water, nothing to manage, nothing to watch for.

Curtained mooring

We anchor in calm, low-traffic spots and deploy deck screening, so your swim and your celebration stay yours alone.

No-drone policy

No drones over our charters, ever, ours or anyone else's. Our crew actively monitors the airspace around the yacht.

Female photographer option

Want memories captured? A professional female photographer joins on request, and every photo belongs to you only.

Prayer space on board

A clean, dedicated prayer area with qibla direction and fresh prayer mats is prepared on every single cruise.

Between us

The Madame Charter

A small promise we all make to one another, so every woman on board feels as free as you do.

01

Discretion first

What happens on deck stays on deck. No photo or video of another guest without her clear yes.

02

Kindness on board

Every age, every background, every style of dress is welcome. We sail as equals, never as judges.

03

Her choice, always

Hijab on or off, swim or simply rest. Each woman chooses how she enjoys her day, no comments.

04

On time, together

We set sail as one. Arriving a few minutes early keeps the whole day calm for everyone aboard.

Questions

Everything you want to know

Is the crew really all-female?

Yes, captain, hostesses, photographer, spa therapists, every professional on board is a woman. It is the founding rule of Madame Cruise and we have never made an exception.

Can we remove hijab on board?

Absolutely. That is exactly what our privacy protocol is for. Once we are underway with curtained mooring in place, the deck is a fully private space, swim, dance, let your hair down.

Is the food halal, and is there alcohol?

You choose. Every cruise comes in a halal version (certified catering, an alcohol-free table and a prayer space) or a classic version, and the crew is 100% female either way. We never serve alcohol ourselves; on a classic or private cruise you are welcome to bring your own.

Is Madame Cruise only for Muslim women?

Not at all. Madame Cruise is for every woman. The constant is a 100% female crew and full privacy; halal catering, a prayer space and an alcohol-free table are options you choose, never requirements. Muslim or not, solo, with friends or with your family, you are welcome.

Can men join, and can we sail as a family?

Our ladies-only cruises are for women only. Our private charters welcome whoever you choose, including mixed family groups with children, and the crew stays 100% female so every woman on board, veiled or not, is completely at ease.

Can I book just for myself, or come alone?

Yes, that is exactly what our by-the-seat option is for. Reserve a single seat on a scheduled all-women cruise and pay only for yourself instead of the whole yacht, from AED 380 per seat (launch offer). Come solo or bring a friend; you will sail with a handful of other women, and most guests leave with new ones. It is still a completely men-free space with the same crew, halal or classic, and the same privacy protocol. Shared departures sail once a small minimum of guests is reached, if a date does not fill, we move you to the next one or refund you in full.

How does pricing work?

Two ways to pay. A private charter (the whole yacht) starts from AED 2,200 per hour, with fixed prices on packaged experiences, Sunset Brunch at AED 7,500, Creator Photoshoot at AED 6,500. Or join a cruise by the seat from AED 380 per person (launch offer). Catering, crew and the full privacy protocol are always included, and we confirm a complete quote before you pay anything.

What is the cancellation policy?

Free date change up to 7 days before departure. Between 72 hours and 7 days before, one free reschedule to a date within 6 months, or a 50% refund. Within 72 hours the booking is non-refundable, though we always try to rebook you. And if we cancel, for weather, the coastguard or a shared cruise that does not reach its minimum, you choose a full refund or a priority rebooking. Full details are in our terms.

What should we bring?

Swimwear, sunscreen and whatever makes you feel good. Towels, fresh water, sunshade, a changing cabin and the prayer space are already on board. For spa and henna cruises, simply arrive, everything is prepared.

Are there prayer facilities on board?

Yes. Every yacht has a clean, dedicated prayer area with fresh mats and qibla direction indicated. The crew will gladly adjust the route timing around prayer times if you wish.
