What happens next

  1. Captain included

    The captain holds a UAE commercial licence and is part of the crew on every charter, so no guest needs any paperwork.

  2. Crew sized to the yacht

    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. Route on request

    The route is yours to choose: Marina and JBR, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab or the Canal. The captain advises on what fits the hours booked.

  4. Safety first

    At the pier the captain walks you through the plan for the hours booked: the route, the stop and when you are back.

Fleet Sizes and Capacity Options for Every Voyage

Selecting the right craft depends on the size of your group and your planned voyage. Our selection features 77 suitable boats from 40 to 164 ft in length, accommodating groups ranging from small family gatherings up to our largest capacity of 75 guests. Whether you want an agile motorboat or an expanse of deck space on a power catamaran, we match your headcount to ideal motor yachts across the coast. You can easily arrange a cheap yacht hire in Dubai for casual family outings or select broad superyachts with multi-deck layouts designed to host grand corporate gatherings.

Are Custom Beverages and BBQ Menus Allowed on Board?

Bringing your own food, soft drinks or alcohol onto the yacht is allowed and completely free of charge for all private cruises. Guests who prefer a hands-free meal can have a dinner served on board from AED 250 per guest, arranged directly through our chat manager before setting sail. Your group can also relax while our crew operates onboard grills to cook fresh cuts or prepare your catch. When you rent a private boat in Dubai, you retain complete freedom over your dining setup, whether that means casual personal snacks or pre-ordered multi-course dining.

Planning a Birthday Celebration or Special Event

Transforming a motor yacht into a private party space is simple with our custom add-ons. You can have the yacht decorated before you arrive from AED 350, set up candles and flowers on deck from AED 400, or order a celebration cake brought on board from AED 250. To capture key moments of your cruise, a photographer on board is available from AED 500 per hour. When booking luxury yacht charters in Dubai, our team manages all logistics prior to departure so your gathering is completely prepared the moment you step onto the deck.

What Daily Rates Apply to Private Motor Charters?

Hourly rates for our motor yachts range from AED 680 to AED 18,900, allowing guests to select a vessel that fits their precise schedule and budget. A daily yacht rental provides full flexibility, whether reserving a 4-hour morning cruise or an extended 8-hour trip along the shore. Reserving your chosen date requires paying 30% up front to lock the slot, as unpaid dates are not held. For guests looking to rent a boat in Dubai Marina, our chat managers provide complete price breakdowns based on chosen hours and requested optional services.

Are Captained Services Provided on Every Boat Rental?

All our charters come fully operated by experienced captains and crew, meaning zero boating experience or marine licensing is required from your group. Guests can sit back and enjoy the sights while our professional team manages navigation, coastal monitoring, and mooring procedures at the harbor. Self-drive options are not offered in our fleet, prioritizing smooth sailing and guest safety throughout the voyage. Knowing that your motor vessel is managed by qualified mariners allows everyone on deck to focus entirely on relaxation and leisure while exploring the coast.

Cruising Coastal Sights and Scenic Landmarks

A full-day trip offers ample time to experience iconic sightlines along the coastline. Charters cast off from primary departure marinas such as Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina, sailing past Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island before navigating around Palm Jumeirah. Vessels can anchor near Burj Al Arab or Atlantis The Royal, allowing guests to swim in clear waters, enjoy lunch on deck, and take photographs against world-famous architectural backdrops. Your itinerary can be tailored with the captain to match your group's preferred cruising pace and swim stops.

Standard Amenities and Charter Inclusions on Every Cruise

Every charter includes a professional captain and dedicated crew to handle navigation, safety, and hospitality while you relax on deck. Essential items like chilled drinking water, ice supplies, and fresh towels are already on board for your comfort. Sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity let you play your own playlist while relaxing on shaded flybridges or outer sundecks. Rates already include VAT, ensuring clear pricing without unexpected surcharges. Those interested in renting top-rated yachts in Dubai will find that our base pricing covers all essential crew services and vessel operations for a smooth trip.

Can Water Sports and Fishing Equipment Be Added?

Enhance your day on the water by adding high-thrill water sports such as jet skis, flyboards, towable inflatables, or seabobs to your booking. For guests interested in angling, deep sea sport fishing charters can be customized with professional gear. We can have rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150, and your catch cooked on board for AED 150. All motorized water activities are conducted in designated open water areas under crew oversight, ensuring full safety while your group enjoys active recreation in the sea.

Seasonality Considerations and Flexible Weather Policies

Boating is comfortable year-round, with peak outdoor weather running through the milder winter months. Early morning cruises offer the calmest waters, while late afternoon slots provide panoramic sunset views over the sea. Marine weather conditions are continuously monitored by our crew to ensure safe navigation. If the weather does not allow sailing, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, giving the guest full choice. This policy ensures your booking remains completely protected against unexpected coastal weather changes.
