5-DAY ITINERARY IN QATAR

Departing from the Pearl’s state-of-the-art marina, the yacht moves through Doha’s controlled outer channels before reaching Al Safliya — a narrow sandbar island known for its shallow turquoise ring and uninterrupted skyline views. Depths range from 4–10 m, offering stable anchoring throughout the year.

Daily Highlights:

• Swim and paddleboard sessions in calm lagoon-like waters
• Tender ride along the sandbar’s pristine coastline
• Sunset views framing Doha’s skyline
• Private dinner on deck with city lights in the distance

A short cruise brings you to Banana Island, a crescent-shaped retreat with coral shelves and consistently warm, clear waters. The afternoon transitions into a slow, scenic pass along the Doha Corniche, showcasing the Museum of Islamic Art, Lusail, and the evolving skyline.

Daily Highlights:

• Morning snorkeling around Banana Island’s shallow reefs
• Onshore spa visit or curated resort access (optional)
• Golden-hour cruise along the Corniche
• Dinner with panoramic views of the illuminated skyline

This longer northern passage displays a different side of Qatar: low desert ridges, open horizon lines, and calm Gulf waters shaped by a gentle northwesterly breeze. Fuwairit, known for its powder-soft sand and turtle nesting areas, offers serene offshore anchoring with excellent visibility.

Daily Highlights:

• Leisurely cruising day along Qatar’s untouched coastline
• Beach landing at Fuwairit’s pale-pink sand stretch
• Kiteboarding or coastal dune photography session
• Stargazing on deck in one of Qatar’s quietest regions

Heading southwest, the route approaches the mangrove-fringed waters of Purple Island — one of Qatar’s oldest archaeological sites linked to ancient dye production. Calm currents and shallow surroundings create a tranquil environment well-suited for kayaking and nature-focused activities.

Daily Highlights:

• Kayaking through the island’s protected mangrove channels
• Onshore walk through archaeological paths and natural bridges
• Bird-watching in a biodiverse coastal ecosystem
• Relaxed afternoon onboard with uninterrupted coastal views

The final leg brings you back toward the capital, offering wide, predictable waters and an easy cruising rhythm. The approach into Doha Port reveals the city’s architectural contrasts — from traditional dhow harbors to modern towers — completing a charter that balances culture, serenity, and contemporary luxury.

Daily Highlights:

• Breakfast at sea during the southbound cruise
• Final swim stop near Al Safliya or the outer Pearl
• Smooth marina arrival coordinated by Polaris
• Optional private transfer to hotel or the airport
