The 30% deposit is taken when your booking is confirmed. The balance is settled on the day, by bank transfer, cash or payment link.
If conditions don't allow us to sail, you are refunded in full straight away or moved to another date — your choice, with no charge. The decision not to sail is ours.
Cancelling in good weather: more than three days ahead, your deposit moves to another date. Inside three days, it is retained.
Booking through Airbnb Experiences, GetYourGuide or Viator costs 350 AED per person, minimum four guests: the platforms take a commission of 20–30%, and the rate absorbs it. Booking direct on WhatsApp is always the cheapest way to travel with us.
The crew
CLUPEA, c'est deux frères, et l'un de nous est toujours à la barre — jamais un équipage extérieur. Capitaines européens, et nous parlons français, anglais et arabe. Cent dix-neuf sorties la saison dernière, et nous chargeons encore le bateau nous-mêmes la veille au soir.
The programme
A private island off Al Futaisi, yours for the day, the evening or the whole night. The camp is built before you arrive and taken down after you leave — everything in between is yours to choose from, priced openly.
You set nothing up. Shade, rugs, cushions, chairs and a table are standing on the sand before your boat arrives — you step off and your day has already started. Water, ice and cold drinks throughout.
The evening trip leaves at 16:30 and takes over the camp the morning group has left. At dusk the white underwater lights come on — the thing nobody else on this coast offers, included at no extra cost.
From November 2026, a private night on the island: tents pitched, bedding made, a camp shower, a gas plancha and breakfast waiting. You arrive to a finished camp and leave without taking anything down.
The route
A pocket-sized slice of the Maldives, minutes from the city.
A pure-white sandbank rising from turquoise shallows.
Wild dolphins often surface alongside the boat here.
A serene, picture-perfect stop to swim and unwind.
The gallery
Real frames from real voyages: sandbanks, sunsets, swims and the occasional very happy dog.
Good to know
A day or evening trip starts at AED 250 per adult, children 4 to 11 pay half and under-4s travel free. Food, water sports and overnight stays are priced separately — every rate is published in full above, so you can build your own total before you write to us.
Your own camp on the island, standing before you arrive: shade, rugs, cushions, chairs and a table. The return boat transfer, a tour around the island, unlimited water, ice and cold drinks, and life jackets for everyone on board.
Al Futaisi Marina, on the pontoon next to Sunset Life restaurant, with parking directly opposite. The crossing takes about twenty minutes and you stay four to six hours on the island. Day departures run from 08:00; the evening trip leaves at 16:30 and is back between 21:30 and 22:30.
The day trip is the island from morning to late afternoon. The evening trip takes over the same camp once the heat has gone, with the white underwater lights lit at dusk. From November you can also stay the night — tents, bedding, a shower and breakfast, all set up before you arrive.
One boat takes up to 12. From 13 we add a second boat so the group stays together, up to 30 guests. Small groups are just as welcome, and the evening trip has no minimum.
A barbecue we cook and serve, or one we simply light for you. Wakeboarding, the towable tube, a jet ski brought to the island, snorkelling, paddleboards, beach volleyball, a campfire, and decoration for a birthday or a proposal. You are only ever shown what we can actually run on the trip you have picked.
CLUPEA is run by two brothers and one of us is always at the wheel — never a hired crew. We are European captains and we speak French, English and Arabic, before the trip on WhatsApp and on the boat on the day.
Yes to all three. Life jackets come in every size, the island has long shallow stretches you can stand in, and one of us is with the group throughout. Well-behaved dogs come along often, at no extra charge — just tell us in advance so we plan shade and water for them.
A towel, sunscreen and water shoes are the three that matter; a hat and a light layer for the evening. There is a toilet on board for day and evening trips, and a private camp toilet for overnight stays. For alcohol, ask us when you book — the rules on the water in Abu Dhabi are strict and depend on the trip.
Build your trip on this page and send it on WhatsApp; we confirm availability, and a 30% deposit holds your date. The balance is settled on the day by transfer, cash or payment link. If the weather stops us sailing you choose between a full refund and another date, at no charge; cancel more than three days ahead and your deposit moves to another date.
Find us
