Iconic Coastal Routes Showcase Prominent Architectural Highlights

Our private 2-hour itinerary leaves Marina Walk to navigate past the towering residential towers of the district before entering open waters. Every craft sails toward Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island, continues along the beachfront of JBR, and pauses directly before the world-famous sail-shaped hotel for photographs. If you want to book a yacht in Dubai for a coastal trip, our team organizes the ideal vessel for your group. Guests looking to rent a sightseeing yacht in Dubai can enjoy the skyline views from open decks without crowds. We also offer fishing gear ready on board for AED 150, with your fresh catch cooked by the crew for an additional AED 150.

Custom Beverage Choices and Dining Options Enhance Your Trip

Private charters give you total control over what is served on deck during your voyage. You can bring your own food and alcoholic beverages on board at no additional charge, or request our manager to arrange complete dining packages before departure. A full dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, featuring hot dishes prepared to your preferences. To enhance your gathering, decorative setups are available from AED 350, candles and flowers from AED 400, and custom celebration cakes from AED 250. When checking the luxury yacht charter cost, guests find our transparent pricing includes VAT with no hidden service fees applied at the pier.

What Schedule Options Exist for Custom Trip Durations?

Cruises operate continuously between 9:00 and 23:00, allowing groups to choose their exact departure time. While our featured Burj Al Arab route takes 2 hours, guests can extend their time on the water to explore more of the coast. If you plan to charter a 55 foot yacht for an extended gathering, our team adjusts the itinerary to match your desired schedule.

We recommend arriving at Marina Walk slightly before your scheduled time so our team can welcome your group promptly. Hourly rates across the fleet range from AED 600 to AED 18,900 depending on the vessel chosen. Because unpaid dates are not held on our calendar, submitting your 30% deposit early locks in your preferred departure window.

Why Choose a Private Yacht Charter for Your Group?

Booking a private vessel ensures that your group enjoys exclusive access to the entire deck, saloon, and bow areas. Unlike public ticketed cruises with fixed seating, your company decides who comes aboard and how the time is spent. A Dubai yacht party hosted on our private craft allows you to play your chosen music, take photos without strangers in the background, and relax in total privacy. We cater to gatherings of all sizes, operating a diverse fleet of 88 yachts and boats with our largest capacity reaching 90 guests. Securing your trip requires only a 30% upfront deposit via a secure online link, reserving the date exclusively for you.

Onboard Regulations Keep Every Member of Your Party Secure

Safety is maintained on every journey through maintained equipment and experienced captains. Guests enjoying a safe family yacht cruise can relax knowing life jackets are provided for all group members across our fleet. While motor craft sail smoothly along the coast, pregnant women or individuals with severe back difficulties should consult their physician before scheduling sea trips.

Our fleet features lengths from 33-164 ft, accommodating different sea conditions with complete stability. Guests require no passports or physical identification documents to board our motor yachts at Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour. When unexpected sea conditions render sailing unsafe, guests simply choose an alternate date or receive a full refund of their payment.

Which Fleet Options Are Available for Booking?

Barbanera Marine manages a selection of 88 yachts and boats ranging from compact motor cruisers to massive superyachts, with our largest capacity reaching 90 guests. You can choose modern power catamarans for extra deck space or sleek motor craft featuring air-conditioned indoor saloons and spacious sun loungers. Groups wishing to set sail on a custom catamaran trip will find excellent choices suited for coastal cruising.

Water sports like jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, towables, seabobs, and gear for fishing or catch cooking can be arranged through your chat manager. Chat inquiries sent between 9:00 and 23:00 GST receive a direct response in 15 minutes or less to help select your ideal vessel.

Good to know

Which specific landmarks are visible along the private cruise route?

The 2-hour private tour departs Marina Walk to show you the high-rise architecture of JBR, the massive Ferris wheel at Ain Dubai, and the distinct sail structure of Burj Al Arab, providing scenic views and photo opportunities from the water.

What Are the Hourly Charter Rates for Booking a Vessel?

Private charters across our fleet of 88 yachts and boats range from AED 600 to AED 18,900 per hour, depending on the craft size and model selected. All quoted prices include standard VAT with no hidden charges.

Which pier or location do guests board for this private tour?

This private tour departs from Marina Walk. We also operate departures from Dubai Harbour across our broader fleet options, and your exact pier details are confirmed by your booking manager inside the chat prior to your trip.

Are guests permitted to swim or disembark during the sightseeing tour?

This specific 2-hour Burj Al Arab sightseeing itinerary is designed for coastal cruising and landmark viewing. Guests remain on board throughout the journey to complete the full route and return to the original departure pier on schedule.

Are children of any age permitted on board the charter?

Children of all ages are welcome on board our private charters. Life jackets are provided for younger guests, though water sports add-ons such as jet ski rentals carry a strict minimum age requirement of 18 years.

Is it permitted to bring outside catering and beverages on deck?

Yes, guests are welcome to bring their own meals, snacks, and alcoholic beverages on board at no extra charge. Alternatively, custom catering, live BBQ packages, and celebration cakes can be arranged through our manager.

Can pregnant women or guests with health issues join the cruise?

Our motor yachts provide smooth coastal cruising, but guests who are pregnant or have back problems should evaluate their comfort level on open water. Captains adjust speeds to maintain a comfortable ride for everyone.

How is the cruise affected if our group arrives past the start time?

Because private charters operate on strict daily schedules between 9:00 and 23:00, late arrivals reduce your total cruising time accordingly. We recommend reaching the designated marina pier slightly ahead of your departure time.

What Is the Recommended Attire and Shoe Policy Onboard?

Smart casual attire or comfortable resort wear is recommended for your trip. Guests are requested to remove outdoor shoes upon boarding to protect the teak decks, storing them safely in designated onboard cubbies.

What happens to my payment if bad weather cancels the trip?

A 30% deposit locks your date on our calendar. If unsafe sea conditions prevent the boat from departing, you can choose a new date or receive a 100% refund of your money.
