Fleet Selection for Groups from Small to Large

Selecting the right motor yacht in Dubai depends on your group size and layout preferences. Our portfolio includes 77 suitable boats out of 88 in our broader collection, ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length. Smaller vessels provide intimate settings, while multi-deck craft take up to 75 guests. Though some clients ask about sailing, we operate power catamarans and motor vessels. Each craft features air-conditioned lounges and open decks for sightseeing. Browse options to rent a boat in Dubai matching your specific preferences.

Dining and Customized Catering Options

Bringing your own food and drinks, including alcohol, is welcome on board at no extra cost. We supply complimentary ice and fresh water on every departure. Alternatively, guests can arrange turnkey meals through our manager in the chat. Plated dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, or you can order a celebration cake brought on board from AED 250. Fishing enthusiasts can have tackle and bait ready for AED 150 and your catch cooked on board for AED 150.

How Long Can You Charter a Yacht For?

Selecting the right charter length depends on your plans for the day. A two-hour cruise offers ample time for sightseeing along major waterfront landmarks and capturing skyline photos. Extending to three or four hours allows time to anchor in calm waters, enjoy a live meal, or swim off the stern deck. Longer trips provide a relaxed pace for multi-deck motor yachts, giving your group total freedom to lounge, dine, and socialize while exploring the coast around Dubai.

Cruising Paths from the Marina Along Coastal Landmarks

Departures launch from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, taking guests along iconic coastal routes. Cruising paths pass JBR, Palm Jumeirah, and the Burj Al Arab, offering clear photo opportunities from the water. Depending on your chosen duration and tidal conditions, itineraries can connect toward central waters for viewing architectural landmarks. Your captain adjusts the course to suit daytime sightseeing or evening trips when city towers illuminate the shoreline, providing a unique perspective on the modern skyline.

What Water Sports Equipment Can Be Requested?

Adding ocean activities turns a quiet anchorage into an energetic resort experience. Guests can request jet skis, flyboards, stand-up paddle boards, seabobs, or towables like banana boats through the manager during chat booking. Snorkelling gear can also be provided for clear-water stops. Onboard sound systems let you play your own music while guests swim or enjoy water toys. All requested equipment is prepared and loaded onto your motor yacht prior to departure from Dubai Harbour.

Captain and Dedicated Deck Crew Onboard

Every voyage includes a professional captain and attentive deck crew who handle navigation, docking, and guest safety throughout the route. The crew assists with service, ensuring a comfortable experience while you cruise past coastal sights. Standard safety gear and vessel insurance coverage are integrated on every trip. Guests require no ID or passport check to board at the marina, ensuring a smooth embarkation process before setting out to explore the coast of Dubai on your private motor yacht.

Event Planning for Milestones and Corporate Gatherings

Planning a private event on the water provides a striking backdrop of the city skyline. Guests host corporate mixers, birthday parties, or sunset family gatherings across our spacious decks. Our team can arrange pre-arrival setup, including a yacht decorated before you arrive from AED 350, or candles and flowers set up on deck from AED 400. A photographer on board can be added from AED 500 per hour. For mid-sized groups, we easily coordinate options to charter a yacht for 50-100 guests with tailored layouts.

How Do Guests Confirm Their Booking and Payment?

Reserving a vessel is managed through our direct WhatsApp chat service. Simply send your requested date, preferred hours, and total guest count. A manager will confirm vessel availability, route details, and optional add-ons, then send a secure online payment link. Paying the 30 % deposit makes the date firm, with the remaining balance settled before departure. All quoted rates include VAT. If severe sea conditions prevent sailing, guests pick a new date or receive a full refund.

How Is the Hourly Pricing Structured?

Transparent rates allow guests to select vessels fitting their budget, with hourly prices ranging from AED 680 to AED 18,900 based on craft size and specifications. The price covers the private vessel, fuel, skipper, crew, ice, water, and full VAT with zero hidden extras. Exploring our fleet lets you compare options from sleek 40 ft cruisers to expansive 164 ft yachts. We answer chat inquiries within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to provide quick quotes.
