Motor Yacht Capacity and Deck Layouts

Motor yachts spanning 78-82 ft provide generous exterior spaces designed for group comfort during coastal cruises. Guests can relax across multi-level layouts featuring an open flybridge elevated above the water, a shaded aft lounge deck, and a climate-controlled main salon fitted with wide panoramic windows. If you want to rent a boat in Dubai for custom gatherings, these mid-sized motor vessels balance extensive lounge space with easy maneuverability. Below deck, private cabins with attached en-suite bathrooms offer quiet areas to rest, change attire, or store personal belongings throughout the charter duration.

Whether hosting corporate clients or family gatherings, the versatile seating arrangements allow effortless movement between sunbathing pads and shaded tables. Shp Yachts manages every private trip directly from Dubai Harbour, ensuring your group has full exclusivity of the entire craft. For celebrations requiring custom food service, full catering for a yacht party can be scheduled in advance with our manager to match your trip schedule.

02

Available Add-On Services and Live Entertainment

Enhance your private cruise with custom add-on services arranged through our WhatsApp reservation line. Water sports options can be scheduled to join your yacht at designated anchorages, including high-powered jet skis for riders aged 18 and older, flyboards, paddleboards, towable inflatables, and seabobs. Snorkelling gear is also available on request for those wishing to explore clear coastal waters during daylight stops.

For evening events or special parties, we can coordinate live entertainment additions such as professional DJ setups, live saxophonists, custom balloon decorations, or onboard drone photography. Premium bar service and custom catering can be combined with these features to create a complete party setup. Simply outline your preferred entertainment elements when messaging our manager, and we will incorporate every detail into your final charter itinerary.

03

Onboard Safety Protocol and Shoe Policy

Maintaining the pristine condition of our fleet requires a standard barefoot policy across interior carpets and teak deck surfaces. Upon stepping aboard at Dubai Harbour, guests place outdoor shoes into designated storage cubbies near the main entrance; clean boat shoes may be permitted inside. This practice prevents deck scuffing and ensures comfortable, slip-resistant walking for everyone on board.

While enjoying the comfortable lounges and sunbathing spaces of our motor vessels, guests are expected to follow basic deck guidelines outlined by the captain during departure. Our professional crew remains available throughout the cruise to assist guests and ensure a smooth, comfortable journey along the coast.

04

Popular Itineraries Past Iconic Landmarks

Cruises depart directly from Dubai Harbour, offering immediate passage toward the city’s landmark waterfront attractions. Short voyages travel past the impressive structure of Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island before taking in the high-rise shoreline of Jumeirah Beach Residence. Longer charters venture further around the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah toward Atlantis The Palm, continuing across open water to view the iconic sail silhouette of Burj Al Arab.

Depending on sea conditions and your chosen itinerary, captains can position the vessel for photography or route inland to navigate the scenic water channels of a Dubai canal yacht voyage. Daytime charters offer great opportunities for sunbathing and offshore leisure, though swimming activities are permitted only during daylight hours before sunset for guest safety. Guests can request specific stopover points along the coastline during the WhatsApp planning process to build a tailored sightseeing schedule.

05

What are the weather cancellation terms and refund options?

Weather conditions along the coast can occasionally change, but Shp Yachts maintains clear guidelines to protect your booking investment. If bad weather prevents safe sailing, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, allowing the guest to choose their preferred option. This straightforward policy ensures complete peace of mind when scheduling your private cruise in advance.

When open sea swells or high winds make offshore ocean cruising unadvisable, captains may suggest alternative cruising routes inside sheltered waterways like the marina canal or Dubai Harbour channels. These protected passages allow your group to enjoy onboard dining, sound systems, and skyline views without rough waves. Our team continuously monitors regional marine forecasts and communicates directly via WhatsApp if any weather adjustments become necessary ahead of your scheduled departure time.

06

What are the hourly charter rates and trip durations?

Hourly rates for our 78-82 ft fleet range from AED 1,607 to AED 9,000, depending on the specific vessel design, season, and time of day. We offer flexible sailing durations starting from short cruises up to full-day private charters along the coast. Shp Yachts operates 7 yachts out of Dubai Harbour, giving groups the freedom to select a timetable that perfectly matches their event planning. Booking requires no website forms; simply message our team via WhatsApp with your date, desired duration, and total headcount.

Once our manager confirms the yacht availability and custom add-ons, you will receive a secure online payment link to submit the deposit via credit or debit card. The remaining balance is settled prior to stepping aboard at the marina. You can organize special milestone events on board, as our crew routinely handles private birthday parties, anniversary dinners, and executive corporate functions with full custom setup.

07

What beverage and catering services are available onboard?

Dining aboard our 78-82 ft motor yachts can be tailored to suit any culinary preference or group size. Shp Yachts can arrange gourmet live BBQ menus, cold platters, or custom cakes prepared on demand and delivered directly to the vessel before departure. The well-equipped galley allows our crew or hired serving staff to arrange, heat, and present meals professionally throughout your cruise.

Guests may also bring their own food and drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage fee applied. We provide spacious ice boxes and refrigerated storage to keep your imported wines, craft beers, and soft drinks perfectly chilled. Whether you prefer a full hot buffet or simple casual snacks, our team ensures all necessary glassware, cutlery, and serving trays are prepared on board prior to departure.

08

What standard inclusions and sound equipment are provided?

Every motor charter booked through Shp Yachts includes a licensed professional captain and dedicated deck crew to oversee safe navigation and guest service. Your reservation comes supplied with complimentary chilled mineral water, soft drinks, and ice boxes kept ready in the main galley. An integrated multi-zone sound system with Bluetooth and AUX connectivity extends across all exterior decks and interior lounges, letting you stream custom music playlists directly from your personal devices.

Our crew maintains the sound equipment to ensure clear playback while cruising along the shoreline. If you plan to celebrate special seasonal occasions, securing a yacht rental in Dubai for New Year's Eve allows you to enjoy continuous sound as you watch coastal firework displays. From background dining music to high-energy evening playlists, the onboard audio setups are built to cover every section of the craft. Additional presentation tools like portable projectors can also be set up upon request through your booking manager.

09

Boarding Procedures and Id Requirements

Boarding your private charter at Dubai Harbour is streamlined to get your party out onto the water without unnecessary delays. We recommend that all members of your group arrive at the marina dock 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled departure time to ensure prompt departure. This buffer allows our crew to welcome everyone, assist with baggage or catering setup, and provide a brief safety orientation before casting off the lines.

Because every booking is entirely private for your exclusive party, there are no lines for general ticketing or public boarding groups. Guests need no passport or ID to board our yachts, making the arrival process smooth and relaxed for local residents and international visitors alike. Once your group reaches the designated pontoon, the captain and deck team will guide you straight onto your vessel so your private coastal cruise can begin immediately without administrative holdups.
