One thing a lot of people like to do in the summer is head to one of the islands off the shore of Kuwait and chill there for a day. If you don’t have a boat or yacht that wasn’t so easy to do before but now there are a lot of different ways of finding one to rent.
The easiest way to get a boat is probably using the app WAVES. I just counted 36 yachts available for rent in the app with prices starting from 25KD. The starting prices listed are a bit misleading since most yachts have a minimum hours you need to rent. If you’re planning a trip to Kubbar for example, expect to pay 200KD and upwards for the trip. There are smaller boats for cheaper, but they won’t be as fast or comfortable. The WAVES app is fairly easy to navigate and book with and most importantly, you don’t need to create an account if you just want to browse.

Alternatively, if you don’t want to use the WAVES app and prefer contacting the yacht owners directly, there are a lot of different Instagram accounts that offer boats and yachts for rent. Here are some of them:

I’m sure there are more accounts I’ve missed so if you know of any more let me know in the comments. Also if you’ve tried any of them and had a good or bad experience, let us also know in the comments.

Do the boats come with a captain, or does any Tom, Dick, and Jassim just get to drive with zero knowledge of the boat or the sea?
Yes, you’re not the one that’s going to be steering the boat.
Or Mahmoud Gamal🤣
This is a Sail boat/yacht that i rented last summer. Was a great experience and the captain and his assistant were both kuwaitis which was nice to have locals talking about the islands and their experience.

Is this not a bit expensive 25 kd per hour? its not like the diesel is expensive or the services they provide on board either.. i had a whole day on one of the 35KD an hour boat in sanotirini during prime season for 150 kd/200 with full on live cooking and stuff..
And this is where they say the world is more expensive than Kuwait. Lol
What year? Cuz going through the prices now and there isn’t anything that cheap
