When Jumeirah steps into a new world, it rarely does so quietly. This season, the brand enters the realm of luxury yachting with a partnership that feels almost cinematic: The Maltese Falcon, a Jumeirah Privé Experience. For a hospitality group known for shaping some of the most recognisable silhouettes on the Dubai skyline, the move toward the open sea feels both unexpected and completely aligned with its instinct for grandeur.
The Maltese Falcon has long held a mythical place among superyachts. At 88 metres, with its three freestanding carbon-fiber masts rising in sculptural precision, it has been admired for nearly two decades as a masterwork of engineering and craft. Its DynaRig sails — 2,400 square meters unfurled in a matter of minutes — still draw awe from seasoned sailors and design purists alike.
Under Jumeirah Privé, the yacht begins a new chapter. Privé was created to expand the brand’s hospitality vision beyond hotels, offering rare escapes where privacy, service, and a sense of personal belonging are the defining luxuries. Its first expression, Jumeirah Thanda Island in Tanzania, set the tone. The Maltese Falcon now carries this idea into a different kind of horizon — one shaped by the wind, the light, and the quiet freedom of being out at sea.
Fresh from an extensive refit, the yacht’s interiors feel renewed without losing the character that made it iconic. The full-beam master suite and a private VIP deck offer calm vantage points above the waterline, while the four additional cabins make room for twelve guests without diminishing a sense of intimacy. The yacht’s central atrium — a three-deck volume spiralling around the main mast — is still one of its most compelling spaces, catching daylight in ways that shift from hour to hour.
Life on board moves between indulgence and lighthearted ease. Cinema nights unfold beneath the stars, the lower sail becoming a screen. The rotating sunbed on the flybridge turns slowly toward sun or shade. A small wellness suite tucked into the deckline allows quiet rituals to continue at sea — a massage, a workout, a moment alone. And for days when adventure outweighs stillness, the water toys offer their own invitations: JetSurf boards, kayaks, paddleboards, jet skis, and snorkelling gear.
In December 2025, the yacht begins its first voyage under the Jumeirah banner, sailing out of Antigua and tracing a loop across the Caribbean before returning to the Mediterranean for summer. Its itineraries read like a wish list of coastlines: the Balearics, the French Riviera, Amalfi, Sardinia, Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, Türkiye. Every destination is familiar, yet on a vessel like this, each feels freshly seen.
For Jumeirah, the partnership is more than a new product category — it is a declaration of how the brand intends to grow. The yacht becomes a stage for its culinary language, its approach to wellness, and its distinctive style of generous, anticipatory service. As CEO Thomas B. Meier reflects, the Maltese Falcon represents a commitment to creating experiences that feel purposeful rather than ornamental.
Jumeirah Privé continues to evolve as a collection designed for travellers who seek privacy without isolation, beauty without excess, and service that feels personal rather than formal. With the Maltese Falcon now part of its constellation, Jumeirah extends its world from land to sea — shaping a new kind of journey where the horizon becomes the only boundary.
