POSEIDON

Poseidon — 118ft · Dubai, United Arab Emirates Along the Dubai waterfront, Poseidon works on two registers at once. By day she takes up to 100 guests for celebrations and gatherings; overnight she becomes a considerably more intimate proposition, with four cabins accommodating eight guests. Bed configuration is available on request. A refit completed in 2023 keeps her presentation current. Inside, the joinery is the defining note — high-quality wood throughout, warm rather than showy, the kind of finish that reads well in the low light of a Gulf evening. Life aboard organises itself around two spaces. The aft deck carries a generous dining table set directly over the water, the natural place for long dinners as the city lights come up. Above, the flybridge is the yacht's real social centre: room to spread out in sun or shade, space for entertaining, an electric barbecue, and a sound system for evenings that run later than planned. The crew handle the grill if you'd rather not. Below, comfortable seating areas give guests somewhere to retreat from the heat, and a full galley means the chef can work properly — menus built around what you actually want to eat, not a fixed rotation. A straightforward yacht for what she does best: private gatherings on the water in Dubai, run by a crew who know the coastline and stay out of the way until needed.
