What Is the Hourly Charter Pricing Across the Fleet?

Charter rates for private vessels depend strictly on the vessel model you select. Across our fleet, the hourly rate runs from AED 680 to AED 18,900, with VAT already incorporated into every figure quoted. A short two-hour voyage doubles that single-hour figure for your private group without per-person ticket markups. When evaluating luxury yacht charter cost Dubai, our team provides transparent quotes with no hidden fuel surcharges for standard coastal navigation. Every quote includes the entire vessel exclusively for your gathering, the licensed captain, and professional crew members.

Bringing your own refreshments on board is completely permitted. Guests are welcome to bring their own meals, snacks, soft drinks, and alcohol at no extra charge from our company. Refrigeration units and ice chests are ready on deck to keep all provisions cool throughout the cruise. If you prefer turnkey services, our manager can arrange customized dining or full hospitality packages before departure. This flexibility lets you balance overall trip costs easily, whether you plan an intimate cruise or an expansive coastal tour.

What Guest Capacity Options Exist Across the Fleet?

Finding the appropriate vessel size is simple across our versatile fleet. We offer 77 suitable boats out of our 88 fleet vessels, ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length, designed to accommodate intimate gatherings or large festive parties. For smaller family outings or couples seeking the best small boat rental Dubai, motor cruisers between 40 and 50 ft host up to 10 or 12 guests in excellent comfort.

For large private celebrations and corporate functions, our expansive motor yachts and power catamarans feature our largest capacity of up to 75 guests. These larger vessels offer multiple lounge decks, flybridges, and open aft cockpits that allow large groups to mingle freely. Because every rental is completely private, your party enjoys total access to all social areas and cabins on board without sharing the vessel with outside travelers.

How Do You Lock Your Yacht Booking with a Deposit?

Securing your preferred vessel and departure schedule is handled efficiently through our direct messaging channel. When you message our team, our chat is answered in 15 minutes or less between 9:00 and 23:00 GST. Simply share your desired date, charter duration, and estimated guest count. Your dedicated manager will confirm vessel availability, discuss tailored route options, and present available optional add-ons.

A 30 % deposit is what fixes the date and locks your time slot; without it, the yacht remains open to other reservations. Once your itinerary details are finalized, your manager forwards a secure online payment link for convenient card payment. The remaining balance is settled smoothly prior to boarding. If adverse sea conditions stop the trip on your scheduled day, our flexible weather policy allows you to pick a new date or receive your money back in full.

What Standard Inclusions Come with Your Private Voyage?

Booking a private motor vessel ensures essential amenities are fully prepared prior to departure. Every charter includes the complete private vessel, professional navigation by a licensed captain, attentive crew members, and running fuel for standard coastal sightseeing. Fresh drinking water and ice boxes are stocked on board to keep your drinks perfectly chilled throughout the journey.

Every vessel features built-in sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing your party to stream custom playlists directly from personal mobile phones across exterior and interior lounge spaces. Safety equipment is stowed on board in full compliance with maritime safety standards. Choosing our boat charter services guarantees a private atmosphere where only your invited group shares the decks. For added convenience, your manager can arrange smooth car transfers to the marina or audio-visual presentation equipment if you plan a brief business presentation during the cruise.

Can You Add Water Sports and Leisure Activities?

Thrilling water sports can easily be incorporated into your itinerary by coordinating with your chat manager before departure. We arrange top-tier equipment delivered directly alongside your yacht during designated anchor stops in calm waters. Options include high-powered Jet Skis (available for guests aged 18 and older), flyboards, Seabobs, banana boats, towable donuts, stand-up paddle boards, and snorkelling gear.

When planning active water sports, allocating adequate cruising time is essential. A two-hour rental allows a quick session at anchor near JBR, though longer charters give your group more unhurried time on the water. Dedicated fishing gear can also be arranged: rods, tackle, and bait ready on board cost AED 150, and having your fresh catch cooked on board by the crew costs AED 150. All water activities are agreed upon in advance to ensure equipment is positioned on time.

Custom Onboard Catering and BBQ Services

Elevating your marine voyage with customized dining is simple through our turnkey catering services. You can arrange cold appetizer platters, Arabic mezze spreads, fresh fruit displays, and gourmet sandwich trays prepared for immediate service upon departure. Full multicourse dining served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, providing an effortless dining experience on the water.

Live BBQ grilling on deck is also available upon request, featuring marinated skewers, gourmet sliders, and fresh salads prepared by the crew. While you are always welcome to bring your own food and drinks with zero surcharge, letting our team handle catering eliminates grocery shopping and prep work. From celebration cakes to complete dining setups, your manager coordinates all culinary arrangements before your private yacht leaves the marina.

For custom celebrations, cakes start from AED 250 and pre-arrival yacht decorations start from AED 350. You may also arrange a dedicated onboard photographer from AED 500 per hour or set up candle and flower arrangements from AED 400. If you prefer to bring your own catch, our crew can cook your freshly caught fish on board for AED 150, or supply complete fishing tackle and bait for AED 150.

Which Scenic Cruising Route Fits a Two-hour Coastal Trip?

A two-hour itinerary offers a scenic journey along the most iconic shoreline landmarks. Departing from Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina, your yacht glides through sheltered marina channels before heading out past the towering Ain Dubai observation wheel on Bluewaters Island. Cruising past the vibrant beachfront at JBR, the boat continues toward the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah.

During this two-hour voyage, guests enjoy panoramic photo opportunities facing the world-famous Atlantis The Palm and distant vistas of the Burj Al Arab sail structure across the open gulf. Selecting a private boat rental Dubai allows you to tailor your route speed and anchor briefly for group photography against these architectural landmarks. Your captain adjusts the cruise path smoothly to ensure you return on schedule while maximizing coastal views.

What Guest Boarding Guidelines Apply to Guests?

Boarding your private yacht is straightforward and designed to be effortless from arrival. Guests need no passport or ID to board our vessels at the marina. Simply arrive at your designated berth at Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina roughly ten to fifteen minutes prior to your departure time to meet your crew and step on board without delays.

To preserve polished salon flooring and exterior teak decking, a barefoot policy is standard across most vessels. Dedicated storage cubbies are provided where your shoes are kept secure throughout the trip. Comfortable casual wear or swimwear is recommended for outdoor relaxation. With zero document checks at the dock, your group can focus entirely on enjoying your private coastal voyage from the moment you step on deck.

Our captain and marine crew remain on deck throughout the cruise to handle all navigation, anchor maneuvers, and basic hospitality. Children of all ages are welcome on board, making family outings effortless and relaxed. By following standard safety briefings given by the crew before departure, all guests can enjoy a safe, smooth, and comfortable voyage along the coast.

Can You Host a Private Event or Celebration on Board?

Special gatherings fit smoothly into a two-hour itinerary on the water. A short coastal trip provides an impressive backdrop for birthday celebrations, marriage proposals, family anniversaries, and relaxed corporate meetups. Sunset departure slots are especially popular for evening toasts as the golden light reflects off the coastal skyline. Our team assists with turnkey event staging arranged directly through your chat coordinator before boarding.

You can request thoughtful touches to personalize the setting. For milestone birthdays, a celebration cake brought on board starts from AED 250, while having the yacht decorated before you arrive begins from AED 350. To create a romantic atmosphere for proposals, candles and flowers set up on deck start from AED 400. To capture every moment, a dedicated photographer on board can be scheduled from AED 500 per hour. When you want to book luxury yachts Dubai for private celebrations, our coordinator manages every setup detail smoothly so everything is ready the moment you step on deck.
