For this year's Qatar National Day, we decided to celebrate away from all the commotion along Corniche area and rented a yacht for a little cruise on the waters around Doha.


The cruise started off at 10:00 and ended at 12:00, exactly 2 hours. We first headed to the Ronautica Middle East office at Parcel One of Porto Arabia in The Pearl to validate our schedule a little before 10:00 am.

Ronautica Middle East

After that, we were told to meet the captain of the yacht at Marina Gate 2.


He gathered us at the living area of the yacht for a little briefing and we started on our way.

The 2-hour cruise costs QR2,500 but we got this trip at a 50% discount from Qgrabs. It was a pretty great deal considering there 8 of us to split the bill, we paid QR156 per person. There were also some complimentary drinks during the cruise.






We had the captain and one crew member with us during the cruise.

It was fun for all us especially since it was everyone's first time. We are truly blessed to have had this opportunity and would do it again if given the chance. Here are some of my favorite photos from the cruise:

The other night, I had this remarkable craving for sushi that I cannot eliminate from my system, we just had to give in. Thank God we live in a very commercial area with a whole lot of dining options for the constantly hungry (me).





They served us with a small portion of some sort of Nori (dried seaweed) Salad and some hot Green Tea after seating us at our table. Although, I think this varies each time depending on the availability because the first time that we came here, they gave us some Kani (crabsticks) Salad.

Deluxe Oishi Dhow QR180

We had the DELUXE OISHI DHOW with 26 pcs. of sushi, sashimi and maki varieties. This is perfect for sharing for 2-3 persons. Tip: you can always request for a freshly made set to ensure the freshness of your sashimi.

Shoyu Ramen QR55

SHOYU RAMEN - Roasted Beef, Mixed Vegetables and Egg. Served hot, this has been the best ramen I've tried here in Doha, I just can't believe they have limited choices for ramen.

Oishi Blossom

I think this is some sort of pomelo juice (not sure) with apple slices. We love this drink so much and, of course, the leaning glass and pitcher.

The inside of the restaurant has a great ambiance perfect for date night. There is a Sushi conveyor belt at the center of the room and a Teppanyaki cooking show table. You can also opt to be seated at one of the private rooms which looks like a traditional Japanese Tatami room.




They have all-you-can-eat-kaitenzushi (conveyor belt sushi) on Monday and Tuesday nights, we will definitely return on one of those nights.
