Which Boat Fleet Options Can You Choose?

Selecting the right vessel depends entirely on the size of your group. Our fleet ranges from 40 to 164 ft in length, housing up to our largest capacity of 75 guests for group gatherings. Every vessel in our selection is motor-powered, featuring spacious flybridges, sunbathing decks, and comfortable indoor salons. Whether you require a smaller craft or a large multi-deck motor yacht, you do not need any boat driving license to rent a vessel in the city. Every charter includes a fully licensed professional crew and captain who manage all operations from departure to docking. You can simply relax on board and focus on the coastal views while our team handles navigation, safety equipment, and vessel maneuvering throughout your time on the water.

Pricing Structures and Flexible Charter Rates

Reserving a private vessel comes with transparent pricing and no hidden costs. Our hourly rates range from AED 680 to AED 18,900, depending on the vessel size and capacity. Finding out the exact yacht price in Dubai is straightforward because every quote includes the full private boat, fuel, captain, crew, and taxes. Weekday morning slots often offer great availability for those seeking quiet cruises, while sunset and weekend hours are heavily requested. Whether you select a compact motor boat for a small group or a multi-deck yacht carrying up to 75 guests, the total rate remains clear upfront so you can select the perfect vessel for your budget.

BYO Dining Policies and Custom Menu Choices

Planning your meals during a coastal voyage is completely flexible on our private charters. Guests can bring whatever food and alcohol they prefer, as there is no corkage fee charged on board. If you want to cook your catch on deck or prepare brought items, we can set up an onboard grill. Our team can also arrange dedicated services on request through your booking manager before departure. For example, a complete dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, and a celebration cake can be brought on board from AED 250. You may also arrange live barbecue preparation or Arabic catering platters in advance, allowing your group to enjoy freshly cooked dishes while cruising past iconic waterfront landmarks without preparing anything yourselves.

Which Inclusions Are Covered in Your Standard Rate?

Understanding what is included ensures a smooth experience from the moment you step on deck. Every listed rate is VAT-inclusive and covers the entire private motor vessel, an experienced captain, professional crew members, fuel costs, and essential safety equipment. Free bottled drinking water and ice are provided for your group throughout the journey. Guests are welcome to connect their own music using the onboard Bluetooth sound system while relaxing on the open sun deck. When deciding between options, choosing a private charter offers complete flexibility, custom routes, and personal space, making it a superior choice when comparing shared sightseeing tours vs private charter options where you must share space and schedules with strangers.

Which Water Sports Can You Add to Your Trip?

Adding thrills to your private cruise is easy when reserving a longer charter duration. During anchored stops in designated open-water zones, water sports can be arranged on request, including jet skis (for guests aged 18 and older), flyboards, paddle boards, towable banana rides, seabobs, and snorkeling gear. Fishing enthusiasts can also request dedicated equipment prepared before stepping on deck. We can arrange rods, tackle, and bait ready on board for AED 150. For those looking for deeper fishing spots, deep sea fishing charters can be coordinated off the main coast. It is best to schedule at least three hours on the water so that your group has ample time to drop anchor, enjoy water sports, and fish without rushing the cruising portion of the itinerary.

Which Cruising Itineraries Pass Major City Landmarks?

Navigating the waterways offers clear views of the city skyline and world-famous coastal sites. Short routes of two hours take you along the marina channel, past the JBR beachfront, and around Bluewaters Island to view Ain Dubai. Choosing a three or four-hour duration allows the vessel to reach Palm Jumeirah, sail along its inner lagoons toward Atlantis, and approach the iconic Burj Al Arab. Extended cruises over five hours can travel farther out toward Moon Island or inward along the Dubai Water Canal. To capture the absolute best light for photos and cooler sea breezes, scheduling your departure during sunset slots between late afternoon and dusk is highly recommended for all route choices.

Weather Conditions and Flexible Date Adjustments

Sea conditions are monitored continuously by our team to guarantee safety for every guest on board. If severe weather or poor sea states do not allow sailing, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, giving you total freedom to choose the option that fits your schedule best. Rain or heavy swells rarely interrupt planned trips, but having a clear policy ensures peace of mind when reserving your date. Our managers handle all itinerary adjustments promptly, ensuring you never lose your funds if the coast experiences sudden marine disruptions. Clear skies and calm waters remain the standard for most of the year along the coastline, keeping outdoor cruising conditions ideal.

Booking Confirmation Steps and Advance Payments

Securing your preferred date and departure slot is a simple process handled directly through our direct chat. When you message our team with your date, desired hours, and guest count, a manager agrees on the vessel, route, and extras. A 30% deposit is what fixes the date, which is processed via a secure online card payment link sent by the manager. Without this payment, the slot stays open to other inquiries. The remaining balance is settled before boarding. Our chat is answered in 15 minutes or less between 9:00 and 23:00 GST every day.

Celebration Setups and Event Planning on Deck

Gathering for milestone events becomes effortless on a private motor vessel. Whether you are hosting a birthday party, an anniversary, a corporate mixer, or looking to hold yacht parties in Dubai, our team prepares the space tailored to your needs. A private charter provides the entire boat exclusively for your group, without shared cruises or ticketed guests. Custom touches are available upon request through your manager before arrival. We can arrange your vessel decorated before you arrive from AED 350, set up candles and flowers on deck from AED 400, or bring a photographer on board from AED 500 per hour. DJs, live music, drone filming, and sound systems can also be coordinated easily.
