Selecting the right vessel for your private group depends on planned activities and party size. We operate modern motor craft and power catamarans ranging from 40-164 ft across key coastal berths. Our lineup features 77 suitable boats ready for leisure cruises, family gatherings, or corporate functions. Smaller cruisers suit intimate groups, while expansive multi-deck vessels accommodate up to 75 guests comfortably. Whether looking into small boat hire for a short coastal outing or arranging a large vessel, every vessel provides open decks and indoor lounges.

Why Do Hourly Charter Prices Vary Across Vessels?
Base rates reflect vessel dimensions, onboard layouts, and overall guest capacity. Across our fleet, hourly rates range from AED 680 to AED 18,900, covering standard cruising fuel, licensed crew operation, and complimentary ice with chilled water. VAT is already part of the quoted rate, meaning no unexpected fees appear later. For mid-sized outings, checking a 55ft yacht rental price per hour Dubai gives groups an accurate benchmark for balanced comfort and deck space. Reviewing transparent yacht charter prices Dubai helps planners balance vessel size, custom routes, and optional services while remaining perfectly within their set leisure budget.
Exciting Add-on Activities Enhance Your Time Afloat
Customizing your maritime trip is easy with our diverse selection of optional equipment and services. Water sports enthusiasts can request high-speed jet skis for guests aged 18 and over, alongside flyboards, paddle boards, Seabobs, and towed inflatables. For angling fans, we supply rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150, with your catch cooked on board for AED 150. Daytime swimming in designated calm bays is permitted when sea conditions allow. All extra boat activities can be scheduled smoothly during chat consultations, guaranteeing the right equipment waits on board your yacht before departure.
Which Iconic Landmarks Highlight Your Coastal Route?
Setting sail along the coastline gives your group front-row views of world-famous sights. A classic two or three-hour itinerary cruises past the towering architecture of Dubai Marina, circles Bluewaters Island under Ain Dubai, and glides along the vibrant JBR beachfront. Extending your private charter to four hours opens routes toward Palm Jumeirah, taking you past the Atlantis resort and pausing near the Burj Al Arab lagoon. Custom itineraries let you choose between relaxed sightseeing, anchored swimming sessions, or scenic photo stops. Reserving a motor yacht in Dubai ensures a personalized sailing schedule tailored directly to your group's preferences.
What Standard Inclusions Are Provided on Every Cruise?
Every private voyage includes essential comforts to guarantee an effortless outing on the water. A certified captain and professional deckhands manage navigation, anchoring, and guest safety throughout the trip. Onboard amenities feature modern sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity so you can stream custom music playlists directly across the deck. Chilled drinking water, soft drinks, and fresh ice are stocked on board for every charter at no extra cost. Guests seeking a cheap boat rental Dubai still receive complete baseline amenities, ensuring great comfort, attentive crew assistance, and full privacy on every single booking.

Once you share your preferred date, group size, and planned cruise duration, our manager checks availability and details the options.
