  1. Licensed captain on every charter

    A licensed captain is included in the rate on all 30 crewed yachts; guests never need a licence of their own.

    Crew size depends on the yacht: a captain alone on small boats, up to four crew on 100 ft+ yachts, serving and keeping watch.

  3. You choose the route

    You decide the stops; the captain decides the order and the speed based on wind and swell that day.

  4. Life jackets on board

    Before departure the captain agrees the route and the swim stop with you; questions are answered in the WhatsApp chat beforehand.

Dining and Beverage Packages for Private Charters

Private voyages come with complete refreshment options tailored to your cruise. Groups heading out on the water can request full culinary arrangements prepared by onboard staff, ranging from breakfast spreads and continuous snack boards to fresh fruit platters and desserts. Multi-course gourmet lunches or evening dinners featuring Mediterranean dishes, international cuisine, and live barbecue grilling can be coordinated smoothly for your journey across Dubai.

When organizing a yacht rental Dubai gathering, refreshments keep everyone hydrated throughout the sunshine hours. We supply chilled drinking water, soft drinks, and juices across our fleet. For specialized catering, full dinner service on board is arranged at AED 250 per guest, offering hot dishes served directly at your table.

Beverage provisions remain fully adaptable to personal tastes. There is never any corkage fee applied to our trips, meaning guests are welcome to carry their preferred refreshments, wines, beers, or spirits directly on deck. Our team provides ice, glassware, and serving assistance to ensure smooth hospitality for daytime gatherings, sunset tours, and evening celebrations.

Does Cabin Accommodation Affect Guest Capacities?

Maritime safety registrations dictate the total number of people permitted aboard each private vessel. Our fleet features 77 suitable boats spanning lengths from 40 to 164 ft, accommodating intimate family gatherings up to our largest capacity of 75 guests on commercial-grade charter yachts. Day cruises maximize wide flybridges, aft decks, and interior salons for social events.

Overnight voyages focus on stateroom comfort, offering between 3 and 6 en-suite cabins fitted with quality bedding, individual climate control, and en-suite facilities. When reserving the best yacht rental Dubai for a weekend stay, cabin layouts ensure private rest areas for sleeping guests while expansive exterior lounges provide daytime entertaining areas.

Selecting the right boat depends on whether you plan a daytime harbor cruise or an extended overnight passage. Day charters utilize total deck capacity within certified safety limits, while overnight passages are designed around fixed stateroom berths to ensure restful accommodations for every guest on board.

What Onboard Entertainment Is Available?

Exciting entertainment and leisure activities can be integrated into your private charter schedule. Deep-sea fishing setups featuring rods, tackle, and bait are ready on board for AED 150, allowing guests to cast lines along rich coastal waters. If successful, our crew can have your catch cooked on board for an additional AED 150.

High-energy motorized water sports add thrilling moments to daytime anchorages. We arrange jet skis, flyboards, towable banana tubes, and seabobs upon request through your chat coordinator. For relaxed water exploration, stand-up paddleboards, sea kayaks, and snorkeling gear allow peaceful swimming around calm coastal coves.

Indoor entertainment features powerful sound setups and presentation screens. For special occasions like a new year's eve yacht cruise Dubai, we arrange live DJs, custom lighting, professional event styling from AED 350, candles and flowers set up on deck from AED 400, and celebration cakes from AED 250 brought directly to your vessel before departure.

Custom Cruise Routes Along Iconic Waterfronts

Flexible cruising schedules let you shape the perfect coastal route according to your group's preferences. A classic two to four-hour cruise provides smooth navigation past striking waterfront landmarks, including the high-rise towers of JBR, the towering Ain Dubai observation wheel, and the outer perimeter of Palm Jumeirah facing Burj Al Arab.

Extended half-day and full-day itineraries open up peaceful anchorages suited for swimming, paddleboarding, and relaxing against skyline views. Reserving a luxury yacht for rent gives your party complete freedom to cruise at an easy pace or pause near tranquil island lagoons for water activities. Longer day passages allow unhurried exploration along coastal channels before returning under golden sunset skies.

Private Events, Celebrations, and Party Cruises benefit from custom passage planning, allowing your celebration to stop near scenic backdrops for photographs and entertainment. Our captains consult with you before casting off from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, tailoring every nautical mile to your exact sightseeing or relaxation goals.

Which Fleet Option Suits Your Sea Journey?

Selecting the right craft ensures your group enjoys ideal comfort, deck space, and performance. Our fleet offers motor yachts and power catamarans designed for smooth cruising across local waters. Modern motor yachts deliver sleek styling, generous flybridges, and open sunbeds ideal for private family outings and corporate entertaining.

Power catamarans provide excellent twin-hull stability, wide beam dimensions, and spacious social cockpits, making them well suited for larger groups desiring stable cruising and easy water access. Multi-deck superyachts ranging from 40 to 164 ft offer formal dining rooms, VIP suites, expansive sundecks, and jacuzzi amenities for upscale gatherings.

Which Dedicated Crew Serves Onboard Charters?

Professional maritime personnel operate every private charter to guarantee safe navigation and attentive hospitality. A certified captain manages all bridge operations, passage planning, harbor navigation, and berthing procedures across Dubai coastal waters. Deckhands assist with line handling, vessel maintenance, water sports equipment, and tender operations whenever you anchor for a swim.

Onboard hostesses maintain clean salon spaces, serve chilled drinks, present dining courses, and ensure guest comfort throughout the charter. When requested through our manager, private culinary staff prepare custom menus adjusted for specific dietary requirements. Additional tailored services include a small boat hire Dubai option for intimate groups, while a dedicated photographer can capture your cruise starting from AED 500 per hour.

Tipping the maritime crew is customary across the yachting industry, with clients typically offering 10% to 15% of the base charter rate for attentive service. Our crew handles all vessel operations, letting you unwind with guests without concerning yourself with navigation, docking protocols, or safety tasks. Every voyage is completely private for your group.

Cost Factors Shaping Coastal Charter Rates

Rates across our fleet range from AED 680 to AED 18,900 per hour, reflecting the yacht size, luxury tier, deck space, and overall guest capacity. Choosing between high-season winter months and warm-weather promotional periods allows clients to match their budget with the ideal vessel.
