View yachtChoosing the right vessel depends entirely on the size of your gathering and preferred onboard atmosphere. Our private charter fleet features motor craft spanning 43-164 ft, with 77 suitable boats equipped for outdoor dining and entertaining along the coast. Smaller motor vessels easily accommodate intimate groups of family and friends, offering covered shade canopies, open aft decks, and comfortable seating around dining tables.
Larger motor yachts and power catamarans provide expansive space across multiple levels, hosting up to our largest capacity of 75 guests for milestone celebrations, family reunions, or company outings. These larger builds feature air-conditioned indoor salons, wide flybridge decks, and dedicated exterior cooking stations designed for smooth meal preparation in open air.
Every charter operates strictly as a private hire, giving your group exclusive use of the entire vessel throughout the scheduled voyage. If you plan to book a yacht in Dubai for a casual afternoon or an evening gathering, our managers assist in matching your guest count to the ideal deck layout and lounge configuration across our fleet in Dubai.
Every boat equipped with an outdoor cooking setup gives your party full flexibility over how meals are prepared on the water. Vessels feature purpose-built electric or outdoor marine cooking stations installed securely on the open aft deck. The deck crew handles initial equipment readiness and ensures the grill boat station is safe and operational throughout the journey in Dubai.
Groups who enjoy taking charge of the cooking can grill their own marinated meats and vegetables directly, flipping burgers and skewers while socializing with friends around the deck table. For guests who prefer to relax completely without managing the tongs, deck crew members are available to assist with cooking your food upon request.
Anglers can also combine sport with lunch: we provide fishing rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150. If you reel in a fresh catch during your cruise, our crew will prepare and have your catch cooked on board for AED 150, creating a true ocean-to-table experience on your private boat with grill.
Arranging a private yacht outing is straightforward and handled entirely via our direct WhatsApp chat channel. When you message our team between 9:00 and 23:00 GST, an assigned manager replies within 15 minutes to confirm vessel availability, route preferences, guest totals, and optional add-on services. This simple chat setup eliminates complicated online forms and keeps all your trip details organized in one place.
Once all specifications are settled, the manager generates a secure online payment link for card processing. A 30 % deposit is required to confirm the reservation and lock your selected time slot on the calendar; unreserved slots remain available to others until this deposit is received. The remaining balance is settled before boarding the boat in Dubai.
Our policies provide clear protection if sea or meteorological conditions prevent sailing. In the event of adverse weather, guests are offered their choice between rescheduling the private cruise to an alternative open date or receiving a full refund of their payment without penalties.
Setting out on a private boat charter lets you experience world-famous architecture from the open water. Cruises departing from Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina glide through sheltered waterways before reaching the open sea along JBR. From there, vessels navigate past the towering Ain Dubai observation wheel on Bluewaters Island, providing remarkable photo backdrops from the deck.
Routes frequently continue around the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, offering clear vistas of landmark shoreline resorts and the distinctive sail-shaped silhouette of Burj Al Arab. During cooking and dining periods, your captain selects protected bays and calm lagoons to ensure steady sea conditions, keeping tables stable while food sizzles on the grill in Dubai.
After dining, guests can soak in panoramic skyline views as the afternoon transitions to sunset. To ensure your special moments are preserved perfectly against these iconic settings, an onboard professional photographer is available from AED 500 per hour upon request, capturing candid memories throughout the entire coastal journey.
Charters scheduled for three hours or longer provide ample time to combine on-deck barbecuing with refreshing swim breaks. Captains drop anchor in sheltered, designated coastal spots such as the tranquil waters of the Palm Jumeirah lagoon or off the coast of JBR. Guests can step down the swim ladder into the sea while the crew prepares the barbecue on water.
To make your time at anchor even more exciting, a wide variety of aquatic add-ons can be coordinated prior to departure. We arrange stand-up paddleboards, inflatable banana rides, towables, seabob scooters, and snorkelling gear. Thrill-seekers can request a delivery of high-speed watercraft directly to the yacht's anchorage, where an exhilarating jet ski rental in Dubai experience can be enjoyed by guests aged 18 and older.
After enjoying water activities and swimming in the calm sea, guests can return to the shaded deck to enjoy freshly cooked burgers and skewers, making the anchor stop a balanced mix of recreation and relaxed open-air dining along the coastline of Dubai.
Transparent pricing ensures your private voyage includes all necessary core amenities for a smooth outing on the water. Every private charter comes staffed with a certified captain and professional deck crew to navigate coastal routes and handle vessel operations. Standard inclusions on every boat in Dubai feature complimentary chilled drinking water, soft drinks, coolers stocked with ice, disposable tableware, and fresh clean towels.
Fuel for the agreed sightseeing route is fully covered in your hourly rate, and all published prices already include VAT with no hidden service charges. Guests also benefit from full marine insurance coverage throughout the entire duration of the trip. The onboard cooking station and cooking utensils are prepared and ready for use when you choose to dine.
Planning a special themed gathering or seasonal celebration is equally straightforward. If you want to arrange a festive new year's eve yacht party or intimate deck dinner, managers can coordinate ambient candles and flowers set up on deck starting from AED 400, along with custom sound and entertainment options.
Private hire pricing is calculated straightforwardly on an hourly basis rather than per person, making private outings cost-effective for groups. Hourly rates start from AED 680 for compact motor craft and go up to AED 18,900 for flagship superyachts, reflecting vessel size, deck space, and overall amenities. Reviewing the bbq dubai boat price across our 77 suitable craft helps groups select the right match for their budget.
Optional add-on services allow you to customize your cruise without surprise costs. Guests can enhance their itinerary with pre-ordered dinner menus from AED 250 per guest, themed decorations before you arrive from AED 350, professional photography starting at AED 500 per hour, or celebration cakes from AED 250.
For those seeking a premier departure location, our vessels are berthed at Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina. Reserving a private boat rental in Dubai Marina gives your group direct access to scenic coastal routes with clear upfront quotes provided in the WhatsApp chat before confirming your deposit in Dubai.
Guests who want complete freedom over their dining menu can take full advantage of our bring-your-own-food arrangement. Under this flexible policy, your group is welcome to bring pre-marinated halal meats, seafood skewers, burgers, fresh salads, side dishes, and snacks directly onto the boat before setting sail in Dubai. Bringing your own beverages is also permitted without any corkage fees applied to your private booking.
For those who prefer a turnkey dining experience without carrying groceries, our team arranges pre-ordered catering delivered right to the deck. Options range from casual barbecue assortments to extensive multi-course feasts. When booking through your coordinator, a complete dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, featuring hot mains and freshly prepared sides.
If you go the self-catering route, we recommend bringing quick-grilling items such as lamb cutlets, kofta skewers, chicken fillets, or burger patties that cook reliably over deck stations. You can also have a custom celebration cake brought on board from AED 250 to mark special occasions on the water.
