Fleet Capacities Matching Every Group Size

Finding the ideal vessel begins with matching your headcount and preferred deck layout to our available fleet. We offer 77 of our 88 vessels for coastal cruising, ranging from 40-foot motor cruisers up to tri-deck yachts measuring 164 ft. Intimate gatherings suit sleek family cruisers with enclosed air-conditioned lounges, while our largest vessel accommodates up to 75 guests for major functions. Whether you arrange a family afternoon or rent a yacht in Dubai Marina for a large group, every layout delivers generous deck space and comfortable indoor seating. Motor yachts and power catamarans ensure steady cruising across open water. You can review available layouts in the chat to select the right vessel length and deck arrangement for your party before confirming your reservation details with our team.

Which Cruise Duration Fits Your Voyage?

Charter lengths depend entirely on what you wish to see across the water. A quick one-hour or two-hour journey provides a focused look at Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, and the high-rise shoreline right off the beach. Selecting three or four hours gives the captain enough time to navigate toward the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah and anchor for a dip. Booking an extended Dubai private yacht tour lets your group enjoy leisurely swimming, fishing, or relaxing meals at anchor while taking in sunset views over the water. Twilight departures remain especially popular because cooler sea breezes and illuminated city towers create a peaceful atmosphere. We organize all charter timings directly in the chat, tailoring your cruising hours to fit afternoon relaxation, sightseeing, or evening dining.

Scenic Coast Routes Past Iconic Waterfront Landmarks

Cruises departing from our docks follow scenic routes across the Arabian Gulf, taking in the towering skyline of JBR and surrounding waterfront developments. A standard two-hour outing sweeps past Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai before skirting along the sandy beachfront. Extended three-hour to four-hour itineraries allow your captain to cruise along the outer edges of Palm Jumeirah, pass Atlantis, and approach Burj Al Arab for photos from the sea. When sea conditions allow, the captain can anchor in sheltered waters where guests can swim or enjoy water sports. We can arrange exciting add-ons on request, including a jet ski for guests aged 18 and above, flyboard sessions, paddle boards, or seabobs, turning your coastal voyage into an energetic afternoon on the water.

Which Inclusions Come with Your Charter?

Every private motor yacht charter includes a certified captain and attentive deck crew who manage all navigation and vessel operations. Guests enjoy access to Bluetooth sound systems, sunbathing decks, swim platforms, and air-conditioned interior lounges. Chilled bottled water, fresh ice, and basic soft drinks are provided as standard on every trip. If you enjoy angling, we can arrange fishing rods, tackle, and bait ready on board for AED 150, and our crew can prepare your fresh catch on the grill for AED 150. Car transfers to the marina and BBQ catering menus can also be coordinated prior to departure. In the event of rough sea conditions or weather cancellations, we provide the choice of rescheduling your trip or receiving a complete refund.

Where Do Guests Board Along the Shoreline?

Our charters depart directly from established marina pontoons at Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour, giving you fast access to the open sea near JBR without lengthy canal passages. Once you finalize your trip details in WhatsApp, our manager sends an online card payment link and issues exact berth and gate directions. Because coastal roads experience heavy traffic during peak afternoon hours, we advise arriving at the pontoon 15 minutes before your scheduled departure time to meet the crew and step on board smoothly. Every private charter reserves the entire vessel solely for your group. Guests need no passport or ID to step on board. Our staff meets you directly at the designated marina slip, assisting with bags and settling everyone comfortably into the lounge before casting off.

Hourly Prices for Private Yacht Charters

Base charter rates for our fleet start from AED 680 and reach up to AED 18,900 per hour for our largest tri-deck vessels. Every displayed figure is entirely VAT-inclusive, covering the boat, professional captain, operating crew, and fuel for agreed coastal routes. A 30 % advance deposit paid through a secure link locks your chosen date, while unpaid dates remain open to other guests. The remaining balance is settled before you step on board. When you finalize a yacht booking in Dubai, there are no hidden gate fees or unexpected add-ons added at the dock. You may also request optional services through your manager, such as having dinner served on board from AED 250 per guest, to create a fully tailored day on the water.

Hosting Private Celebrations on the Water

Milestone birthdays, wedding proposals, family reunions, and corporate gatherings find an inspiring setting on our private motor yachts. We prepare the boat before your arrival with specialized styling, including candles and flowers set up on deck from AED 400 or complete yacht decoration starting from AED 350. You can also have a celebration cake brought on board from AED 250, or hire a professional photographer from AED 500 per hour to document your gathering. For high-end business gatherings, exclusive yachts in Dubai provide sound systems and spacious indoor saloons for speeches and socializing. Bringing your own food, snacks, and alcoholic beverages is completely welcome at no extra charge, and our crew gladly assists with chilling drinks, plating meals, and serving your guests throughout the entire journey.
