What Open Deck Amenities Are Included on Board?

Every twin-hull power craft features expansive outdoor lounge spaces, plush sunbeds, and forward bow trampoline netting for sunbathing. Below deck, fully air-conditioned indoor saloons offer wraparound panoramic windows alongside comfortable seating areas. Facilities include built-in refrigeration units, kitchenettes, and private restrooms. High-quality sound systems extend throughout the vessel to play music during your voyage. If you want to celebrate a special occasion, our team can arrange to have your yacht decorated before you arrive starting from AED 350. Guests looking for customized water activities can also explore options like a speed boat in Dubai Marina through our manager. All 5 of our multihull craft deliver excellent comfort.

What Advantages Does Multihull Design Offer?

Power catamarans rely on dual-hull architecture to provide remarkable lateral stability compared to single-hull vessels. The twin hulls minimize side-to-side rolling motion, significantly reducing the likelihood of seasickness for everyone on board. Although some guests inquire about a traditional sailboat, we charter motor yachts and power catamarans exclusively to ensure reliable cruising performance. These 55-60 ft multihulls feature a shallow draft that allows safe navigation closer to island shores, bays, and coastal lagoons. The wider beam also creates significantly more deck area for socializing than monohull boats. You can secure these benefits while browsing competitive yacht deals in Dubai Marina through our booking team.

Why Reserve a Private Charter Voyage?

Booking a private catamaran charter guarantees total boat exclusivity for your group without public crowds. Charters run between 9:00 and 23:00, allowing flexible scheduling for brief harbour tours or multi-hour swimming excursions. A 5-hour journey provides ample time to anchor near scenic spots while our crew handles navigation. Bringing your own food, soft drinks, or alcohol is completely free of charge. Alternatively, we can serve dinner on board from AED 250 per guest. To celebrate milestones on the water, you can book a new year's eve yacht in Dubai or request custom catering. Booking directly ensures your itinerary matches your personal event plans exactly.

Key Landmarks Featured Along Coastal Routes

Our primary private route follows The World Islands Tour, lasting 5 hours from Marina Walk departure. The vessel sails past major sights including Ain Dubai, Atlantis The Palm, and Burj Al Arab before reaching Antarctica Island. Short coastal trips of 3 to 4 hours showcase the city shoreline, whereas longer charters allow relaxed swimming stops in open waters. Guests on board can swim during designated anchorages when sea conditions permit. For specialized ecological tours, an electric catamaran in Dubai option can be requested via our manager. Your group enjoys direct views of world-famous architecture throughout the entire trip.
