The Good Stuff
Family Friendly
A group including a 10-year-old and two 14-year-olds caught more than a dozen fish on a family outing.
Onboard Extras
One yacht trip included water, towels and a fruit platter, with the boat described as clean and well-maintained.
Clear Booking
A customer reported receiving accurate booking information and the same boat that had been offered.
Weather Flexibility
When conditions were windy, the captain kept moving the boat to improve the views and reduce rocking.
Celebration Cruises
Reviews describe yacht trips for anniversaries, birthdays, honeymoons and staff parties, with crews helping keep events relaxed.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Equipment. Before a fishing trip, ask what fish-finding equipment and fishing methods will be used; one customer specifically reported no fish finder.
Consider Winter. If fishing conditions matter, ask about seasonal timing: one customer was told fishing is better in the winter months.
Confirm Meeting. For yacht trips, confirm the meeting point and transfer details; one family booking used reserved Palm Jumeirah parking and a buggy.
Confirm Yacht. Ask for the exact yacht in writing before paying, since one reviewer valued receiving the same boat that was offered.

The Bottom Line
GetThatBoat combines deep-sea fishing charters with private yacht outings in Umm Suqeim. You can book a fishing trip with equipment and crew guidance, or arrange a yacht cruise for a family day, birthday, anniversary or staff party. Reviews mention catches ranging from more than a dozen fish to a barracuda and a first shark, while yacht guests describe skyline cruising, swimming and sightseeing around Palm Jumeirah, JBR and the Dubai Eye.
The yacht side gets especially practical praise. A 55ft Pershing was described as spacious, clean and luxurious, and one booking included water, towels and a fruit platter. Another customer used an electric surfboard before relaxing on the yacht.
Meeting arrangements can be well coordinated too, including reserved Palm Jumeirah parking and buggy transport in one family booking. There is one important fishing caveat. A detailed review reported no fish finder, rough conditions, hours without a bite and ignored requests to try jigging, so confirm equipment, methods and the intended plan beforehand.
Another customer said fishing was better in winter. Pricing is not included here because the reviews do not state a currency for the quoted trip amount.
