Our fleet includes 77 suitable vessels ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length, covering motor yachts and spacious power catamarans.

Why Do Hourly Charter Prices Vary?

Pricing structure reflects vessel dimensions, guest capacity, build age, and optional add-on services. Hourly rates span from AED 680 for intimate motor cruisers up to AED 18,900 for high-capacity motor yachts. Choosing a larger craft or adding specialized services like live entertainment, custom menus, or water sports will influence the total cost. If you plan a lively party yacht in Dubai gathering, costs vary based on duration and selected extras. Planning daytime departures or off-peak times provides budget flexibility, while every quote explicitly includes applicable taxes for total transparency.

Adding dynamic water activities turns a regular trip into an adventure across open waters. Motorized water sports like jet skis, flyboards, banana boats, towables, and Seabobs can be arranged on request through the manager.

Primary departure points include Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour, both featuring modern facilities and easy vehicle drop-offs. Guests are greeted directly at the pier by team members who guide everyone to the vessel. No passport or identity document is asked for at boarding, making arrival quick and straightforward.
