About Nakhoda & Pearl Yacht Charters

Nakhoda & Pearl manages charters across Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. When you contact us, you speak directly to our team, which operates daily from 9:00 to 23:00 GST. We respond to messages within 15 minutes to answer questions, check real-time schedule availability, calculate exact totals, and confirm bookings. Every charter includes a licensed captain and professional crew, fuel, full insurance coverage, life jackets, fresh towels, ice, and soft drinks. Additional requests like custom catering, live music, jet skis, or transfers are arranged directly through your chat manager before departure.

All trips depart from main berths located at Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour. These central points provide direct access to the Dubai coastline, Palm Jumeirah, and surrounding waters. Departure details, exact pontoon numbers, and arrival instructions are sent directly in the WhatsApp chat once your booking is finalised. You do not need to bring a passport or physical ID to board the vessel. You may also bring your own food and alcoholic beverages on board without paying any additional corkage fees.

Our fleet consists of 88 yachts and boats ranging from 33 feet to 164 feet in length. We cater to small groups as well as larger events, accommodating up to 90 guests on our largest vessel. Rental prices range from 600 AED to 18,900 AED per hour, with all applicable VAT already built into the displayed rates. Charters start from a minimum duration of 2 hours. Whatever the group size, we match you with a suitable vessel based on your requested headcount, planned activities, and budget.

A charter date is formally confirmed only upon receipt of a 30% deposit; dates are not held without this advance payment. If unfavorable weather prevents sailing, we give guests the choice to either move the charter to a new mutually agreed date in the chat or receive a full refund of their payment. For onboard extras, we organize water sports, fishing tackle, sound systems, photographers, and barbecue catering upon request so that your complete itinerary is settled before you arrive at the dock.
