Captain, crew, fuel, insurance and VAT are fully included in all prices.

Why rates differ

  1. Yacht length and model

    Length is the main driver: boats under 50 ft start at AED 680 per hour, 100 ft and over cost several times that. Newer builds price higher than older ones of the same length.

  2. Weekend or weekday slot

    Longer bookings cost less per hour, and a newer yacht of the same length is priced higher than an older one; the hourly figure covers captain, crew, fuel and insurance.

  3. Charter duration

    The minimum is 2 hours. Longer charters bring the hourly rate down, and full-day trips are quoted as a package.

  4. Extra gear or services

    The hourly rate covers the yacht, crew and fuel; food, drinks, decoration and entertainment are added as extras.

Which Vessel Size Controls Your Hourly Rate?

When comparing total expenses across different motor vessels, vessel dimensions play the most significant role in determining final quotes. Smaller motor cruisers around 40 ft provide an economical entry point, whereas expansive triple-deck vessels reaching up to 164 ft command higher rates due to their scale. Every single price quoted on our schedule is fully transparent, meaning the total rate shown is VAT-inclusive without hidden fees added later during checkout. For small groups seeking a cheap yacht in Dubai for a simple morning outing, compact motor craft offer an accessible way to experience coastal cruising. Mid-sized boats measuring between 45 and 65 feet naturally bridge the gap, catering to moderate family gatherings or corporate team outings without requiring superyacht budgets. Meanwhile, our largest motor yachts demand higher hourly investments reflecting their expansive lounge spaces and high guest limits. We operate exclusively as a private motor vessel provider; we do not charter monohull sailing vessels or conventional sail rigs, focusing entirely on high-performance power catamarans and modern motor yachts. Finding a suitable motor yacht in Dubai means looking at how deck layout and vessel length align with your group size. Whether opting for an entry-level compact boat or reserving a sprawling multi-deck motor yacht, clear hourly pricing keeps your planning straightforward from start to finish.

Simple Boarding Rules for Families and Young Children

Welcoming families with guests of all ages is a core priority across our fleet operations. Children, toddlers, and infants are fully welcome aboard every motor craft, with dedicated safety gear and child-sized life vests available on deck. To make family outings as smooth as possible, guests may enjoy a completely streamlined arrival process where no identification check or paperwork delays stand between your group and the water. A standard barefoot cruising policy applies across our vessels to protect smooth teak deck surfaces and maintain pristine interior salon spaces, meaning shoes are neatly stowed in deck lockers upon boarding. When arranging a private motor yacht in Dubai for a multi-generational family gathering, parents can rest easy knowing that clear safety briefings and comfortable indoor salons are provided for younger guests. Unlike public shared cruises where seating is crowded and itineraries are fixed, a private hire allows families to set their own pace, pause for rest whenever needed, and create a cozy environment for kids of any age.

Standard Charter Amenities Included with Every Vessel Hire

Every charter rate includes essential onboard services to ensure a smooth experience from departure to arrival. Fuel costs for standard coastal routes are fully included in the total hire price, avoiding unexpected surcharges at the end of your cruise. Each vessel comes staffed by a qualified professional captain and dedicated crew members who handle all operational details, line handling, and guest support throughout the journey. Guests enjoy unlimited complimentary chilled bottled water, soft drinks, and fresh ice kept ready in the galley refrigerators. Complete maritime safety gear, life jackets, and full maritime liability insurance come standard across our entire fleet. High-quality Bluetooth sound systems are equipped on every motor craft, allowing your group to stream personalized music playlists across deck speakers throughout the trip. When booking a motor yacht in Dubai, knowing these foundational comforts are built into your baseline price allows you to focus purely on enjoying the water. Our charter operations combine professional crew management with top-tier vessel maintenance, ensuring your private time on the coast remains comfortable, safe, and completely transparent from start to finish.

Which Routes Highlight the Top Coastal Hubs?

Cruising along the coastline offers striking perspectives of world-famous landmarks, with flexible routes tailored to your preferred duration. Departures from primary maritime hubs like Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina provide immediate access to iconic sights within minutes of untying lines. Standard two-hour itineraries typically glide past the high-rise towers of JBR, loop around the massive Ain Dubai observation wheel on Bluewaters Island, and head toward the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Extending your charter duration opens up longer routes toward the famous sail-shaped silhouette of Burj Al Arab, where serene waters create ideal backdrop conditions for photos. Selecting a private motor yacht in Dubai allows your party to choose whether to keep moving along scenic waterfront developments or anchor near sheltered bays for relaxation. As a skippered charter service, every trip includes an experienced captain handling navigation, vessel positioning, and safety, eliminating any need for self-drive bareboat arrangements. Anchoring in designated calm zones allows guests to enjoy deck lounging or water sports while taking in unobstructed views of the city skyline. Customizing your route directly with your captain ensures you visit the exact coastal highlights your group wants to see.

Understanding Booking Reservation Terms and Cancellation Policies

Securing your preferred time slot requires completing a straightforward reservation step. A date is confirmed only with the 30 % deposit; our team does not hold open calendar dates without this initial payment. Once your preferred timing, custom route, and optional service additions are finalized in conversation with our trip manager via WhatsApp, you receive a secure online card payment link to complete the transaction. To keep things entirely stress-free for international travellers and local residents alike, no passport or identity document is asked for at boarding. Should severe weather conditions make sailing unsafe, our flexible policy guarantees that guests receive either a complete date reschedule or a full refund, strictly based on personal preference. This eliminates financial risk when planning coastal events months ahead. Every reservation secures a private charter boat in Dubai dedicated exclusively to your group, as we never offer shared tours, per-person ticketed seats, or mixed public cruises. The final remaining charter balance is settled smoothly right before stepping aboard at Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour. Choosing a motor yacht in Dubai through our direct messaging system ensures clear communication, immediate pricing verification, and immediate confirmation once your deposit is processed.

How Timing Choices Impact Seasonal Charter Rates

Seasonal shifts and daily timing play a huge role when scheduling private cruises along the coast. During the warmer summer months, demand shifts toward early morning or late evening cruises, often opening up more flexible scheduling choices across our motor fleet. Conversely, the cooler winter season brings high demand for afternoon sea voyages, making advance planning essential for prime weekend slots. Selecting early morning slots often provides calmer sea conditions and smoother sailing, making it an excellent choice for relaxed family breakfasts on deck. Twilight hours remain highly popular for watching the city skyline illuminate from the water, which means sunset time slots naturally fill up fastest on weekend schedules. When selecting a motor yacht in Dubai for your group, considering off-peak morning departures can make scheduling easier while giving you room to extend your cruising time without schedule conflicts. Every private motor vessel in our fleet features enclosed air-conditioned salons, allowing comfortable cruising throughout the year regardless of afternoon temperatures. Planning your journey ahead of time lets you choose between peaceful morning waters or vibrant evening city views while maintaining complete control over your itinerary.

Enhancing Your Experience with Optional Entertainment Add-on Services

Customizing your time on the water with extra activities turns a standard coastal cruise into a tailor-made celebration. Guests planning special occasions can request custom setup options directly through our charter manager during the WhatsApp booking chat. For milestone birthdays or anniversaries, having your yacht decorated before you arrive is available from AED 350, creating a festive atmosphere the moment you step on deck. A celebration cake brought on board can also be arranged from AED 250, while romantic setups with candles and flowers set up on deck start from AED 400. Capturing these special moments is easy, with a professional photographer on board available from AED 500 per hour. Anglers looking for active recreation can request quality rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150, and having your catch cooked on board by our crew is available for AED 150. Additional high-thrill water activities like jet skis, flyboards, seabobs, and towables can also be coordinated upon request. When reserving a private motor yacht in Dubai, integrating custom media systems, decor, or water sports transforms your voyage into a fully personalized party on the sea.

Matching Fleet Categories to Your Total Capacity Needs

Selecting the right vessel size depends heavily on the total headcount attending your private event. Compact motor yachts spanning 40 to 50 feet provide intimate settings ideal for small family trips or small birthday gatherings, offering ample deck space alongside comfortable seating. Moving up to mid-range motor craft provides broader bow sunbeds and expanded flybridge areas, perfectly suited for medium parties desiring room to mingle. For massive corporate events, wedding receptions, or major milestones, our massive event vessels feature our largest capacity of 75 guests across multiple sprawling deck levels. Choosing a motor yacht in Dubai with the appropriate deck layout ensures every person on board remains comfortable throughout the journey. Because every outing is completely private, your party enjoys sole access to the entire vessel, its sound system, and dedicated crew members without outside crowds. Our diverse lineup of 77 suitable boats out of 88 total fleet options allows us to pair any group size with a matching hull length, ranging from 40 to 164 ft. Whether hosting ten close friends on a sleek power catamaran or gathering dozens of colleagues aboard a superyacht, selecting the right capacity guarantees an impressive experience on the water.

Custom Catering Options and Bring-your-own Food Rules

Dining on the water is a central part of any charter, and our flexible catering policies give you complete freedom over your onboard menu. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage fee applied by our company. This allows groups to pack custom picnics, order takeaway from their favorite city restaurants, or prepare personal snacks prior to departure. Alternatively, turnkey dining services can be organized directly through our charter manager ahead of time. Delicious dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, featuring freshly prepared options delivered right to your table on deck. For longer trips, live menu preparations can be coordinated to turn your cruise into a memorable culinary event. Reserving a motor yacht in Dubai with customized meal plans ensures that all dietary preferences and schedule requirements are perfectly matched to your cruise length. Whether you prefer a casual bring-your-own setup with home-packed snacks or an elaborate catered meal served by our crew, dining against the backdrop of the sea elevates your entire coastal outing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the typical hourly rates for renting a yacht in Dubai?

Hourly rental rates across our fleet range from AED 680 to AED 18,900 per hour depending on the vessel size and model chosen. All quoted rates are fully inclusive of VAT, professional captain and crew services, standard route fuel, soft drinks, and ice.

What is the total price range for a full-day yacht hire in Dubai?

Full-day charter costs depend on the specific vessel selected from our fleet of 77 suitable boats, calculated by multiplying the boat's hourly rate (ranging from AED 680 to AED 18,900) by the chosen duration. Custom multi-hour itineraries are agreed in chat.

How do private yacht charter costs compare to buying shared tour tickets?

Yes, children and infants of all ages are welcome on board our private charters. Vessels feature safe enclosed salons and carry appropriate safety equipment, though jet ski operation is strictly reserved for guests aged 18 and older.

What is the policy if poor weather prevents our planned yacht cruise?

If severe weather causes a charter cancellation, guests have the choice of either rescheduling their trip to a new available date or receiving a full refund, ensuring complete peace of mind when reserving your date.

Is swimming or deep-sea fishing permitted during a private yacht charter?
