My Favourites
If you’ve scrolled through your Instagram feed lately, chances are you’ve spotted it: bronzed influencers sipping rose on the deck of a luxury yacht, the Dubai skyline glittering in the distance, and captions dripping with hashtags like #YachtLife, #DubaiDiaries, and #InfluencerGetaway. This isn’t a film set or a photo shoot in St. Tropez, it’s the new norm in Dubai, where luxury yacht charters have become the ultimate setting for content creators, celebrities, and social media stars chasing the perfect shot.
Welcome to the new playground of the digital elite, where influencer culture meets high-seas luxury, and the likes, views, and shares roll in faster than the tide.
The Rise of the Floating Photoshoot
Dubai has never been a stranger to excess. From the world’s tallest building to golden coffee and designer-clad camels (yes, really), the city knows how to make a statement. But lately, the true showstoppers aren’t just on land, they’re cruising through the Arabian Gulf.
Superyachts, once the domain of oil barons and royalty, are now front and centre in the content strategies of the internet’s most-followed faces. Influencers from London to Los Angeles are jetting into Dubai to board vessels from luxury yacht charter companies like Seven Yachts, transforming a day at sea into a multi-platform media moment.
Think aerial drone shots, sunset toasts, swimwear reveals, and vlog-worthy behind-the-scenes action, all against the cinematic backdrop of Palm Jumeirah, Bluewaters Island, or the ever-iconic Burj Al Arab.
Not Just a Day Out, It’s a Strategy
It’s easy to assume that a day on a yacht is simply about leisure. But make no mistake, this is business, baby. Content is the currency of today’s digital world, and for influencers, every moment on board is an opportunity.
Fashion influencers shoot lookbooks, beauty gurus capture product tutorials, lifestyle creator’s vlog full “day in the life” episodes, and wellness coaches showcase sunrise yoga on the bow. Its luxury meets productivity, in the most photogenic setting imaginable.
And it’s not just individual creators. Global brands from luxury skincare houses to champagne labels, are now building influencer yacht charters into their campaign strategies, providing the perfect fusion of exclusivity, elegance, and endless engagement potential.
Dubai: The Global Stage for Luxe Living
So why Dubai?
It’s simple. No other city in the world marries sun-drenched glamour, architectural wonder, and influencer-friendly luxury quite like Dubai. With year-round sunshine, world-class marinas, and a coastline built for cinematic content, it’s no wonder the world’s most recognisable faces are making a beeline for the UAE.
Just last month, a UK Love Island alum celebrated her birthday with a private yacht party in Dubai Marina, complete with a personal DJ, sushi platters, and a floating flower wall. Meanwhile, a trio of YouTube stars from Germany hosted a full-scale fashion show on deck, with content filmed, edited, and posted live from sea thanks to high-speed onboard Wi-Fi.
The message? If you want to go viral, go nautical.
Seven Yachts: The Charter of Choice for the Stylish Set
Among Dubai’s growing fleet of charter options, Seven Yachts has carved out a reputation as the go-to for content creators who expect more. And by more, we mean personal chefs, drone-ready decks, red carpet service, and interiors worthy of a Vogue shoot.
Each yacht offers sleek, minimalist design, panoramic seating areas, and immaculate detailing – think polished teak, plush lounges, and bespoke lighting to get that golden hour just right.
But beyond aesthetics, it’s the experience that sets Seven Yachts apart. The team understands the needs of influencers like no other, providing:
- Photography and videography add-ons
- Custom playlists and decor
- Privacy and discretion for VIPs
- Flexible itineraries timed to the light (because everyone knows the 5pm glow is non-negotiable)
In short, these are charters built for creators, by people who understand the rhythm and demands of digital stardom.
Luxury, But Make It Livestreamable
One of the most alluring parts of the yacht life is how effortlessly it fits into content across every platform.
- TikTok transitions from glam squad to party mode? Check.
- Instagram Reels showing a “before and after” boarding transformation? Done.
- YouTube vlogs titled “24 Hours on a Superyacht in Dubai”? Guaranteed views.
Even wellness and productivity influencers have joined the wave, posting mindfulness routines, ocean meditations, and morning routines on deck, redefining what luxury self-care looks like.
The A-List Effect: From Reality Stars to Royalty
From private proposals at sea to hush-hush celebrity gatherings, yacht charters are increasingly becoming the setting for some of Dubai’s most talked-about (and most Instagrammed) moments.
Rumour has it that a certain Hollywood A-lister was recently spotted filming a commercial aboard a luxury yacht just off The World Islands. And let’s not forget the exclusive yacht afterparty that followed a major Dubai fashion week showcase, where influencers, models, and designers mingled beneath the stars, with Dubai’s skyline twinkling behind them.
It’s not just yacht life – it’s high society on water.
Lights, Camera, Yacht Charter
For influencers, brands, and creators, the draw is undeniable. A yacht charter offers more than just content – it offers aspiration. A glimpse into a lifestyle audiences dream about. An escape from the ordinary. A story that writes itself, 15 seconds at a time.
So, whether you’re planning your next viral campaign, a shoot for your brand collab, or simply a day of luxury you’ll never forget, Dubai’s yacht scene is calling.
