Step by step

  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.

  2. Crew of two to four

    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.

Which Fleet Vessel Sizes Fit Your Guest Capacity?

Selecting the right vessel depends entirely on the size of your group. We feature 77 of our 88 total vessels to ensure a comfortable experience for any outing. Smaller motorboats accommodate intimate gatherings, while large power catamarans and tri-deck yachts manage our largest capacity of 75 guests without crowding. Onboard spaces feature air-conditioned main salons, sun decks, and shaded upper bridges. If you need a small boat hire in Dubai, our team will help you choose the ideal layout. Every private trip is reserved exclusively for your party, ensuring complete comfort while cruising the coast of Dubai.

Custom Coastal Routes Past Major Local Landmarks

A custom daily itinerary allows you to explore the coast at your preferred pace. Standard sightseeing routes begin at Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina before sailing past Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, and the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. You can anchor in calm waters near Burj Al Arab or Atlantis The Royal for swimming, photo opportunities, and dining on deck. Extended trips can navigate further along the shoreline toward the World Islands lagoon. When you book a private yacht in Dubai, our team arranges the route around your timing.

Seasonality Considerations and Severe Weather Policies

Cruising conditions along the coast remain pleasant throughout the year, with peak season running through the cooler winter months. Morning departures generally encounter the calmest waters, while late afternoon slots highlight coastal sunsets. Guest safety and age guidelines are strictly observed during all trips, though jet ski operations require riders to be 18 or older. If unexpected high winds or rough swells make sailing unsafe, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, giving the guest full choice over the resolution for their private trip in Dubai.

Private Daily Charter Rates and Transparent Pricing Terms

Hourly vessel rates start from AED 680 and reach AED 18,900 for our largest luxury superyachts. Choosing a daily yacht rental gives your party complete freedom to structure an extended morning or full afternoon cruise. To find the best boat rental in Dubai, simply reach out to our chat manager with your preferred date, duration, and guest count. We clear all details upfront so you know the exact price to rent a yacht for a day. A date is confirmed only with the 30% deposit, sent via a secure payment link.

Onboard BBQ Services and Custom Beverage Arrangements

Bringing your own food, soft drinks, or alcohol is completely allowed on board without any corkage fees. For extra convenience, guests can request our team to arrange customized BBQ catering menus or celebration meals prior to departure. If you bring your own fresh catch or raw ingredients, having your catch cooked on board by our crew is available for AED 150. Electric or gas grills are operated safely by the crew while anchored off the coast of Dubai, letting your party enjoy fresh meals served directly on the open deck.

Are Water Sports Equipment and Inflatables Available on Request?

Thrilling ocean entertainment can easily be added to your daily itinerary through our chat manager. Guests can request jet skis, flyboards, seabobs, stand-up paddle boards, or towable banana tubes for their private charter. For a calm afternoon, we also arrange gear for deep sea sport fishing charters alongside snorkeling sets. Basic gear like fishing rods, tackle, and bait can be made ready on board for AED 150. Whether you want high-speed action or relaxing marine activities on your yacht charter, our team handles all equipment setup prior to your departure in Dubai.

Planning a Custom Celebration Charter on Board

Special events like birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate gatherings fit naturally on our spacious vessels. You can request custom add-ons through our manager to tailor the deck setup. We can have your yacht decorated before you arrive from AED 350, set up candles and flowers on deck from AED 400, or bring a celebration cake on board from AED 250. Additional services include a professional photographer on board from AED 500 per hour or a formal dinner served on board from AED 250 per guest while cruising past Dubai.

Captained Vessels Provide Zero Driving Effort for Guests

Every boat rental in our fleet comes fully operated by a professional captain and dedicated deck crew. Guests do not need a marine license or prior boating experience, as our team handles all navigation, docking, and safety duties on the water. Straightforward boarding procedures ensure a relaxed start, as boarding needs no ID or passport check for anyone in your group. Choosing a fully captained motor yacht allows everyone on deck to socialize, relax, and take in the coastline views of Dubai without worrying about handling the vessel.

Standard Charter Amenities Included on Every Private Trip

Base bookings on our vessels provide essential comfort items to ensure a smooth day on the sea. Each motor yacht features a built-in Bluetooth sound system, shaded seating decks, swim ladders, and clean towels. Complimentary chilled mineral water, ice, and soft drinks are always supplied for all guests on board. The quoted charter price covers the boat, captain, crew, and standard route fuel, with all VAT already included in the rate. When you opt for a booking of a yacht in Dubai, you receive a completely private experience tailored to your group.
