Standard Yacht Charter Inclusions

Private cruising along the coastline comes with complete operational support included in the charter price. Our professional captain and crew handle vessel navigation, route coordination, and hospitality throughout the voyage. Guests can enjoy a fully private deck layout reserved entirely for their designated group, ensuring dedicated service while underway.

Refreshments are provided onboard every private journey at sea. We supply complimentary drinking water, soft drinks, fresh ice, and complete dining tableware to keep your guests comfortable. If you plan a celebration, choosing our bachelorette party yacht rental lets you take full advantage of our provided dining setup and chilled beverage supplies.

All baseline operating costs remain included without hidden vessel fees. Standard cruising fuel and vessel insurance come covered within the agreed yacht rental quote. You can step aboard knowing navigation logistics are maintained by licensed maritime crew from start to finish.

Personal provisions are welcomed freely on each voyage. Guests can bring their own food, snacks, and favorite drinks without paying corkage charges. Swimming remains an option during daylight stops, provided sea conditions allow safe access into the calm water around the Dubai coastline.

02

Daylight Swimming Safety and Restrictions

Swimming in the clear waters of the Gulf is a favorite highlight on private charters. Water access is permitted strictly during daylight hours, allowing guests to take a refreshing dip while the sun remains up over coastal Dubai.

Safety remains our main priority during all water stops. The captain evaluates current sea conditions, water clarity, and tidal movement before granting permission to lower the swim ladder and open the aft swimming platform to guests.

Night swimming is not conducted once the sun sets along the coast. Cruising after dark focuses on skyline views, dinner service, and comfortable relaxation on the illuminated flybridge as the vessel glides past illuminated waterfront architecture.

When planning a swim stop, booking a charter of three hours or longer ensures adequate time for both sightseeing and water relaxation. Our crew assists guests entering and exiting the sea, ensuring a safe experience off the shore.

03

Can guests bring alcohol and outside beverages onboard?

Beverage service on our private motor yachts is flexible to accommodate your personal preferences. Guests are welcome to bring their own drinks, including alcoholic beverages, aboard the charter without incurring corkage fees or special handling charges.

Our attentive crew provides complete onboard support for your refreshments. Crew members assist with chilling drinks in onboard coolers, stocking ice buckets, and serving your beverages in supplied glassware and dining tableware during the cruise along the Dubai coastline.

Food preparation can also be coordinated to match your schedule. Guests can bring ready-to-eat meals, snacks, or party platters, utilizing our galley facilities and serving counters to present appetizers to their party throughout the trip.

Alternatively, you can request our team to coordinate BBQ menus or complete catering before your trip. Our manager arranges all culinary requests during your WhatsApp reservation chat, ensuring food and drinks are ready the moment you board at the marina.

Safety Rules and Boarding Guidelines for Guests

Clear safety practices ensure every private cruise proceeds smoothly across coastal waters. Our chartered motor vessels are equipped with marine life jackets, safety equipment, and certified communication radios managed by our professional crew throughout the entire journey.

Guests need no passport or ID to board our private yachts. You simply head to the designated berth at Dubai Harbour and step aboard your reserved vessel without completing administrative paperwork at the pontoon gate.

Care for the vessel exterior helps maintain premium deck conditions for all visitors. Deck shoes are typically left at the boarding area to protect teak surfaces, allowing guests to relax barefoot or wear soft-soled boating slippers while moving around the yacht.

Our captain remains in command of route adjustments and vessel safety at all times. By listening to basic crew safety briefings upon boarding, guests can unwind knowing professional mariners manage navigation, mooring, and sea safety across Dubai waters.

05

How Do You Book and Confirm Your Deposit?

Securing your private yacht charter involves a direct and straightforward communication process. We manage all reservations exclusively via our WhatsApp chat button on the website, removing traditional booking forms, phone calls, and email correspondence completely.

You start by sending your preferred charter date, total hours, and guest headcount to our manager in chat. Our team confirms availability across our 6 yachts, outlines route options, and discusses any optional extras you wish to include for your trip from Dubai Harbour.

Once terms are finalized, the manager sends a secure online payment link to process the deposit by card. This card transaction locks in your chosen vessel and departure slot, while the remaining balance is settled before boarding the yacht.

Arriving at the marina slightly ahead of time ensures a smooth start to your cruise. We advise guests to arrive at the designated Dubai berth about 15 minutes prior to departure, allowing your party to board comfortably and depart precisely on schedule.

06

What Are the Hourly and Daily Charter Rates?

Transparent charter pricing allows planners to select suitable packages across our fleet. Hourly rates range from AED 1,250 to AED 5,250 depending on the specific vessel selected, charter schedule, and desired route. We operate 6 yachts in our fleet, offering distinct motor platforms suited for quiet family cruises or grand corporate gatherings.

Selecting a private vessel gives you full access to the yacht without sharing deck space with outside groups. If you prefer spending extended leisure time on the water, you might arrange to rent a yacht for a week to cruise along coastal landmarks at an unhurried pace.

Daily itineraries and multiday reservations are quoted by our booking manager via our chat channel. Final rates reflect your requested hours and optional onboard additions, ensuring every aspect of your voyage matches your schedule before departure from the marina.

Weather conditions remain closely observed prior to leaving the dock. If the weather does not allow sailing, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, giving the guest full choice over how to proceed with their reservation in Dubai.

07

What Are the Yacht Layout and Specifications?

Motor yachts within this category offer spacious internal and external living areas. Guests step into air-conditioned interior saloons furnished with comfortable lounge seating, dining spaces, and entertainment systems. Expansive exterior flybridges and open sun decks allow everyone to observe the Dubai cityscape while relaxing in shaded comfort.

Private charter vessels in our fleet measure lengths 75-80 ft, giving groups generous floorplans across multiple levels. While larger motor builds manage our largest capacity of 45 guests, guests choosing a 75 ft yacht experience ample deck space for intimate family outings or company gatherings without feeling crowded.

Below deck, these vessels incorporate private sleeping quarters and en-suite washrooms. These interior areas allow changing after swimming or stepping away from open decks to rest during warm afternoons. High ceilings, climate control, and wide panoramic windows create a welcoming environment across all indoor suites.

Every vessel in our fleet runs on marine motor engines rather than sails. The wide motor yacht design delivers steady cruising across the coastal waters of the emirate, offering a smooth platform whether guests lounge indoors or gather on open flybridges.

08

Scenic Yacht Cruising Past Iconic Landmarks

Cruising along the Arabian Gulf delivers unobstructed sights of world-renowned architectural landmarks. A classic two-hour charter allows your motor yacht to depart Dubai Harbour and tour along the Dubai Marina channel, Ain Dubai on Bluewaters, and the lively coastline of JBR.

Extending your voyage to three hours provides ample time to venture toward the Palm Jumeirah outer crescent. Guests observe the distinctive silhouette of Atlantis The Palm from the water, taking memorable photos against the backdrop of the iconic coastal skyline. Scheduling a scenic Dubai sunset boat trip during these hours offers soft evening light across the city towers.

Longer charters lasting four hours or more allow extended cruising along the shoreline toward Burj Al Arab. Guests can anchor in designated coastal bays for a swim or simply lounge on the open flybridge while enjoying panoramic vistas across the open water.

Our captain coordinates navigation to match your preferred sights and available time. Whether cruising briskly past skyscrapers or drifting near coastal island developments, your private itinerary highlights the finest perspectives of maritime life.

09

Available Add-ons to Customize Your Charter

Tailored additions allow guests to personalize their private Dubai yacht charter to match any occasion. We arrange live BBQ menus, customized catering platters, and specialty cakes prepared to your group preferences. Bar service can also be coordinated directly with our team to keep your guests refreshed throughout the voyage.

Energetic water activities can be scheduled directly through your charter manager for open-water stops. Available water sports include jet ski sessions for riders aged 18 and older, flyboard flights, stand-up paddle boards, seabobs, towable bananas, and snorkelling gear for marine exploration along the coastline.

Special events benefit from professional entertainment equipment and bespoke decorative setups. We arrange custom decorations, live musicians, resident DJs, and presentation sound systems with video projectors for corporate presentations or private celebrations cruising along the coast.

Capturing key moments is simple with dedicated event support. We can arrange professional photographers and licensed drone filming to record your voyage, as well as private car transfers to bring your party directly to the departure berth.
