Galeon Yacht Charter Experience

Planning a private gathering on the water requires a clear understanding of vessel dimensions and guest limits. Galeon spans 78 ft in length and accommodates up to 15 guests comfortably for any daytime or evening voyage. Built in 2018, the motor yacht features 4 private cabins below deck for resting, alongside open lounge areas on the main deck. Departing directly from Dubai Harbour, the vessel maintains ample space for social groups, dining setups, or relaxed sightseeing. Every charter on this motor yacht remains completely private to ensure your group enjoys full access to all areas without sharing space with outside guests.

Organizing an anniversary, corporate gathering, or special event on the water becomes straightforward with customizable add-ons arranged through our manager. Guests hosting a birthday can request specialized deck styling from AED 350 or order a custom celebration cake delivered directly to the yacht from AED 250. For corporate dining along the coast, full dinner service can be arranged from AED 250 per guest, alongside candle and floral setups from AED 400. You may also bring your own preferred food, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages on board without paying corkage fees. Nakhoda & Pearl coordinates all logistics prior to your scheduled departure from Dubai Harbour.

Budgeting for your group outing is simple thanks to transparent hourly rates and fixed minimum reservation requirements. The rate for Galeon starts from AED 4,200 per hour, with a minimum booking duration of 4 hours required for all departures. All displayed prices already include VAT, ensuring clear financial planning without hidden taxes or unexpected surcharges upon arrival. Booking the minimum 4-hour window provides sufficient time to navigate toward major landmarks, drop anchor for a catered meal, or enjoy water recreation along the shoreline. Extended hours can easily be scheduled during the initial booking chat with our manager.

Every charter on board this 78 ft vessel includes professional maritime oversight to ensure a smooth journey along the coastline. The onboard team consists of a licensed Captain and 2 crew members who handle technical navigation, mooring, and guest assistance throughout the trip. Safety equipment, including certified life jackets, is fully stocked on deck for all 15 guests. Having a dedicated team managing the vessel allows everyone in your group to relax, socialize, and focus on the coastal views around Dubai without worrying about maritime tasks. The crew remains available to assist with sound equipment, beverage serving, and setting up deck amenities.

Understanding what is provided on board ensures your party arrives fully prepared for a comfortable day at sea. Your base rental price includes the vessel, licensed fuel, safety gear, towels, cutlery & crockery, and complimentary soft drinks for all guests. Additional activities can easily be added to your itinerary upon request through your manager before setting sail from Dubai Harbour. Groups interested in angling can request complete fishing rods, tackle, and bait prepared on deck for AED 150, with the onboard crew available to cook your catch for an additional AED 150. Water sports like jet skis can also be arranged.

Reserving your private charter requires only a quick message through our dedicated WhatsApp button. You simply state your desired date, preferred hours, and total number of guests to start the reservation process. Our manager checks real-time availability, helps select an ideal itinerary, and confirms any requested add-ons before generating a secure online card payment link. Paying a 30 % deposit immediately secures your date on the calendar, as open dates are not held without payment. The remaining balance is settled before boarding the yacht at Dubai Harbour. In case of unsuitable weather, guests choose between rescheduling the trip or receiving a full refund.

Departing from the marina opens up several established cruising routes tailored to your schedule and preferences. Popular options include the Atlantis Tour around Palm Jumeirah and the iconic Burj Al Arab Tour for spectacular photographs from the water. Groups seeking extended trips can select the Dubai Water Canal Tour or navigate past offshore developments on The World Islands Tour. For a comprehensive experience, the Premium Tour combines these key sight-seeing areas with opportunities to anchor near protected bays. Every private charter route is finalized with your captain prior to departing the dock to match your group's exact interests.

Deck features on board Galeon focus on comfort and social entertainment during your time on the water. A spacious flybridge deck provides panoramic views of the skyline, complete with dedicated sun beds for lounging under the sun. Guests can cool off in the built-in Jacuzzi or play custom music playlists using the onboard speaker system. Practical facilities include a clean bathroom, toilet, cold water supply, built-in refrigerator, and ice box for chilling drinks. Towels, bathroom amenities, cutlery & crockery, and a 220V socket are supplied, while an electrical BBQ can be installed on deck upon request.
