Discovering the ideal motor vessel for your group is simple across our selection. We offer 77 suitable boats out of our 88 total vessels, ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length. Groups can choose sleek day craft, spacious flybridge motor models, or expansive power catamarans designed for stability. Whether hosting an intimate gathering or planning a massive corporate gathering, our vessels fit every scale. Our largest capacity accommodates up to 75 guests comfortably on deck. Each craft features ample seating, sound systems, and sunbathing areas. You can easily compare vessel dimensions and layout options through our chat manager before making your final selection for an upcoming coastal trip.
How Can You Add Water Sports and Extra Activities?
Enhancing your charter with exciting ocean activities is effortless during the booking conversation. Guests can request high-speed jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, seabobs, or towable banana rides for anchor stops. For those interested in leisure fishing, we arrange rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150. Swimming stops in calm lagoons are welcome during daylight hours, while high-speed water sports add adrenaline to your afternoon. All optional extras are confirmed through your chat manager, ensuring all equipment is prepared and ready on deck prior to your departure.
Smooth Departure Procedures at Primary Coastal Berths
Starting your journey is simple thanks to our central departure points at Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina. Both locations provide easy road access, drop-off zones, and close proximity to popular coastal sightlines. We recommend arriving 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to ensure a relaxed start. Guests need no passport or ID to board our private vessels, making arrival completely effortless. Our crew welcomes your group at the berth, assists with luggage or catering setups, and conducts a brief safety overview before setting off into open waters.
Where Can Guests Find Clear Hourly Charter Rates?
Transparent pricing ensures planning your maritime outing remains straightforward and predictable. Charter prices vary based on vessel length, guest capacity, and total duration. Hourly rate options span from AED 680 to AED 18,900 across our fleet, accommodating various budget requirements. Dinner served on board is available from AED 250 per guest, allowing customized dining packages to be added smoothly. Because mandatory taxes are already included in the quoted price, clients never face unexpected add-on costs at checkout. Contacting our team via WhatsApp provides instant, clear quotes tailored to your chosen duration.
Standard Inclusions Provided on Every Private Cruise
Every private motor charter includes essential amenities to ensure a comfortable journey. Chilled drinking water, ice, and soft drinks are supplied as standard for all onboard guests. Guests also enjoy full access to integrated Bluetooth sound systems to play their personal music throughout the cruise. Professional captain and crew services are fully included in the initial booking rate. Furthermore, 5% VAT is already part of the quoted rate, ensuring full pricing transparency with zero hidden extra charges. Safety equipment and life jackets are provided for all guests onboard, adhering to high standards during every trip off the coast.
Which Iconic Sights Define Coastal Cruising Routes?
Exploring the coast from the water offers unmatched views of world-famous landmarks. Standard 2 to 3-hour itineraries typically cruise past Dubai Marina, circle Bluewaters Island beside Ain Dubai, and head along the JBR shoreline. Extended 4-hour charters allow vessels to round Palm Jumeirah toward Atlantis and anchor near the calm lagoon by Burj Al Arab. Selecting a cruising yacht rental in Dubai gives your group panoramic sightlines away from urban traffic. Longer private charters can even navigate toward the Dubai Water Canal, offering unique perspectives of the city skyline from serene waters.
Custom Catering Choices and Onboard Dining Setup Options
Dining on the water enhances any private charter experience along the coast. Our service operates with no corkage fee, meaning guests bring whatever food and alcohol they like onboard without additional charges. Alternatively, complete dining arrangements can be organized through our manager prior to departure. We arrange live electric BBQ setups, gourmet platters, and full dinner service from AED 250 per guest. If you choose a deep-sea trip, having your catch cooked on board costs AED 150. Romantic candle and flower setups on deck are also available from AED 400.
Planning Milestone Events for Private Groups
Special celebrations become extraordinary when hosted on the open sea. Organizing a boat party in Dubai allows hosts to customize every detail, from scheduled departures to onboard entertainment. For birthdays, proposals, or corporate gatherings, our team arranges complete setup services beforehand. A tailored yacht decorated before you arrive starts from AED 350, creating a festive atmosphere the moment your group steps aboard. Celebration cakes can be brought on board from AED 250, while professional photographer coverage starts from AED 500 per hour to capture every moment. Private charters provide the perfect setting for anniversaries, product launches, or family reunions along the coast.
When Should You Send Your Booking Confirmation Deposit?
Reserving your preferred date is a simple process handled through our dedicated chat. To book a charter boat in Dubai, clients coordinate date availability, guest counts, and preferred route details directly with our manager. Once your itinerary is set, a secure payment link is issued for the deposit. A booking becomes firm once the 30% deposit is paid, securing your reserved date on our calendar. Without this initial payment, dates remain open to other inquiries. The remaining balance is settled conveniently prior to boarding. Our messaging team responds within a quarter of an hour, operating from 9 in the morning to 11 at night Gulf time.
