Spacious Decks Provide Ample Guest Room

Mid-sized motor vessels offer remarkable room across multiple levels, ensuring everyone moves freely between social zones. Inside our fleet, models measuring 46-50 ft feature sheltered indoor saloons, quiet rooms below deck, and full-beam exterior areas designed for relaxing under the warm sky. The raised flybridge provides clear elevated vistas, while wide sun pads forward invite visitors to lounge during coastal transits.

Our largest capacity welcomes up to 17 guests across our 6 suitable boats. When groups desire an intimate celebration rather than a massive party boat Dubai gathering, this mid-sized category delivers balanced personal comfort. Each private yacht cruise along Dubai Marina canal ensures uncrowded relaxation for families, business colleagues, and celebrating friends alike.

How Many Hours Should You Charter for Swimming?

Choosing the duration of your outing depends on whether you plan a swift architectural tour or relaxed anchorage. Selecting at least a few hours gives our crew time to guide the motor vessel along the coast and drop anchor in designated lagoons for swimming and water sports activities like seabobs, jet skis, or paddleboards. The hourly rate ranges from AED 680 to AED 792, with prices fully inclusive of VAT.

While vacationers sometimes consider an open small boat hire for quick outings, reserving a covered flybridge vessel gives total protection and deck space. To secure a date in Dubai, a 30 % deposit fixes your slot, without which the boat remains open. You can swim comfortably knowing the captain monitors all sea conditions.

Scenic Cruising Paths Showcase Coastal Landmarks

Navigating away from the docks reveals the modern waterfront architecture of Dubai Harbour and the vibrant promenade of JBR. Vessels glide outward past Bluewaters Island, treating everyone on board to close views of Ain Dubai standing tall against the horizon. When you prefer relaxed sightseeing to riding a speed boat Dubai Marina excursion, an unhurried motor cruise provides steady photo angles.

Charters spanning several hours push further along the open coast toward the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Your captain guides the yacht past the towering facade of Atlantis The Palm before drawing near Burj Al Arab. A dedicated deep-sea fishing expedition can also be arranged, with rods, tackle, and bait ready on board for AED 150.

Standard Inclusions Provide Complete Voyage Essentials

Every voyage operates as an entirely private outing managed by our licensed captain and professional crew. The charter rate covers the vessel hire, marine fuel, and all essential safety equipment needed for coastal waters. Guests enjoy complimentary chilled drinking water, dedicated ice boxes to keep drinks cold, and powerful sound equipment ready to connect to your personal playlist.

Those looking to rent a boat Dubai Marina appreciate how straightforward the experience remains. Boarding regulations and dress code are straightforward, asking only for comfortable casual attire without any complex security paperwork. If rough weather prevents sailing, you choose whether to move the charter to another date or receive a full refund.

Can Guests Bring BYO Refreshments on Board?

Bringing your favorite treats along is completely simple on every trip. Guests may bring their own food and drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage fee applied by our team. If you catch fresh fish using our tackle, our crew will gladly prepare your catch cooked on board for AED 150 using the deck facilities.

Full dining services can also be coordinated in advance. We arrange turnkey dinner served on board from AED 250 per guest, alongside a custom celebration cake brought on board from AED 250. Rather than searching for cheap yacht hire options lacking proper hospitality, our motor yacht rentals allow complete freedom to design tailor-made meals, sunset dinners, or casual snacks with your preferred beverages.
