UAE National Day Yacht Abu Dhabi 2026: 4-Hour Eid Al Etihad Packages & Prices

On 2 December 2026 the UAE celebrates its 55th National Day, Eid Al Etihad, marking the union of the Emirates on 2 December 1971. Abu Dhabi dresses in the national colours and the skyline glows late into the night. A private yacht is a relaxed way to enjoy it, away from the traffic and the crowds. This guide explains the Big Panda Yachts Eid Al Etihad packages in Abu Dhabi for 2026: what is included, the fixed timing, every boat with its package price, and how to pick the right size for your group.

How the 2026 Eid Al Etihad Yacht Package Works

For National Day we keep one simple format, so planning is easy for you and for the crew:

• Private yacht: the whole boat is reserved for your group, with no shared tables and no other guests on board.
• Fixed 4 hours: 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM on 1 and 3 December, covering the evening lights and the main celebration hours. On 2 December, fireworks night, you board from 6 PM and the yacht sails from 8 PM to 10 PM.
• Three dates: 1, 2 or 3 December 2026.
• One package price per boat: a fixed price for the whole yacht, not per person.
• Captain and crew included: the crew handles the cruise so your group can relax and celebrate.

Regular hourly bookings are closed from 1 to 3 December 2026. On these three nights every yacht runs as a National Day package, which keeps the timing clear for every group and every crew.

A statement evening

Fireworks Night – 2 December

On 2 December the National Day fireworks in Abu Dhabi are fired from the sea at around 9 PM, and the Corniche roads are packed that evening. So the plan on 2 December is different: be at the marina by 6 PM and relax on board, the yacht sails at 8 PM, you watch the fireworks from the water and we are back at the marina at 10 PM. Same package price. Want to sail from 6 PM? That is possible at an extra cost – ask us on WhatsApp. On 1 and 3 December the package is the usual 4-hour cruise, 6:30 to 10:30 PM. If part of your group is in Dubai, see our Dubai National Day yacht packages.

Paying for Your Package

You can pay by card online, split the amount into 4 interest-free payments with Tabby, or pay with Tamara at online checkout.

Planning Tip: The Grand Prix Weekend Follows

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix weekend runs from 4 to 6 December 2026, right after National Day, so the city stays busy all week. If you are visiting for both, plan your National Day yacht evening early. You can also browse our Abu Dhabi yacht charters for other dates, and see our New Year’s Eve yacht packages in Abu Dhabi if you want to plan the next celebration too.
