Booking & General Questions
How do I book a yacht rental in Dubai?
You can book a yacht rental in Dubai by calling or sending a WhatsApp message to +971 58 261 7699. Tell us your date, preferred time, number of guests and occasion, and our team will recommend the right yacht, confirm availability and send you the booking details.
Where do your yachts depart from?
All our yacht cruises and fishing trips depart from Dubai Marina. The marina is close to JBR, Bluewaters Island, Dubai Harbour and Palm Jumeirah, so you reach the open sea and Dubai’s main landmarks within minutes of leaving. We send you the exact meeting point when your booking is confirmed.
Is a captain and crew included with every yacht?
Yes. Every yacht rental in Dubai with us includes an experienced captain and crew. You do not need a boating licence or any sailing experience. The crew handles navigation, safety and service on board, so you and your guests can simply relax and enjoy the cruise.
What size yachts do you have?
Our fleet ranges from 32 ft fishing boats to 70 ft luxury yachts. Smaller boats suit couples, families and fishing trips, while larger yachts have sun decks, air-conditioned saloons and cabins for bigger groups. See the full fleet on our Yacht Rental Dubai page.
How many guests can join a yacht cruise?
Guest capacity depends on the yacht. Our smaller boats carry up to around 7 to 12 guests, and our larger luxury yachts can host groups of 20 or more. Always choose a yacht that fits your group comfortably. Our guide on how to choose the right yacht can help.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least a few days in advance, and earlier for weekends, public holidays and peak season from October to April. For New Year’s Eve, large parties and corporate events, book several weeks ahead, as the most popular yachts are reserved early.
Do guests need to bring ID?
Yes, we recommend that every guest carries a valid ID, such as an Emirates ID or passport, as IDs may be checked before departure. Please share your guest list with us before the trip so boarding is quick and easy.
Pricing & Packages
How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Dubai?
The cost of a yacht rental in Dubai depends on the size of the yacht, the length of your cruise and the day and time you book. Smaller boats are the most affordable, while larger luxury yachts cost more per hour. Call or WhatsApp us for current rates and the best option for your budget.
Are yacht rentals charged by the hour?
Yes. Our yacht charters are booked by the hour, so you can choose anything from a short one-hour skyline cruise to a full day at sea. Deep sea fishing trips are offered as 4-hour packages. Read how long to book your yacht charter for help choosing.
What is included in the price?
Every booking includes the yacht, an experienced captain and crew, and the use of the yacht’s facilities. Depending on the yacht, extras such as ice, water, music and fishing equipment are included on board. Ask us which inclusions come with the yacht you choose.
Can I add food, cake and decorations to my booking?
Yes. You can add a live BBQ, a buffet menu, a celebration cake and decorations to your yacht rental. These add-ons are popular for birthdays, anniversaries and corporate events. Let us know your plans when you book and we will arrange everything before you board.
Parties & Special Occasions

Can I watch the New Year fireworks from a yacht?
Yes. A New Year yacht in Dubai gives you front-row views of the midnight fireworks from the water, with sights such as Atlantis The Palm and the Burj Al Arab. New Year’s Eve is the busiest night of the year, so we recommend booking several weeks in advance.
Is a yacht a good place for a proposal or anniversary?

Deep Sea Fishing
How long is a deep sea fishing trip in Dubai?
Our deep sea fishing trips in Dubai last 4 hours. This gives you enough time to reach the best fishing spots in the Arabian Gulf, fish with the help of the crew and return to Dubai Marina. See our Deep Sea Fishing Dubai packages.
Do I need fishing experience or my own equipment?
No. Fishing equipment is provided on board, and our crew shows you how to bait your hook, drop your line and reel in your catch. Deep sea fishing in Dubai is suitable for complete beginners. Read our beginner’s guide to deep sea fishing.
What fish can you catch in Dubai?
Common catches on a deep sea fishing trip in Dubai include kingfish, barracuda, queenfish, trevally and hammour, with other species possible depending on the season and conditions. Learn more in our guide to the fish you can catch in Dubai.
When is the best time for deep sea fishing in Dubai?
The best time for deep sea fishing in Dubai is from October to April, when the weather is comfortable and fishing is very active. Trips run all year, and in summer we recommend early morning departures to avoid the midday heat. See our season-by-season guide.
Is deep sea fishing suitable for children?
Yes. Our private fishing charters are a great day out for families, as the crew helps children with every step and the boat is reserved for your group only. Children should be supervised by an adult at all times. Read our tips for family fishing trips in Dubai.
Routes, Weather & Safety
What can I see on a yacht cruise in Dubai?
On a yacht cruise from Dubai Marina you can see the Dubai Marina skyline, JBR and Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island, Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis The Palm and the Burj Al Arab. Longer cruises let you visit more of these landmarks.
How long does it take to reach the Burj Al Arab by yacht?
The Burj Al Arab is the furthest of the main landmarks from Dubai Marina, so we recommend a cruise of around three hours to include it comfortably. A two-hour cruise is usually enough for Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis, and one hour covers Dubai Marina, JBR and Ain Dubai.
What is the best time of day for a yacht cruise?
Sunset is the most popular time for a yacht cruise in Dubai, thanks to the golden light and skyline views. Morning cruises are calmer and cooler, especially in summer, while evening cruises show the city lit up at night. October to April has the most comfortable weather.
Can we swim during the cruise?
Swim stops may be possible on longer cruises when sea conditions are calm and safe. The final decision is made by the captain on the day, based on weather and safety. Let us know when you book if you would like to include a swim stop in your route.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Your safety comes first. If the captain or the authorities decide that sea conditions are not safe, the cruise will not go ahead, and our team will contact you to arrange another date. Life jackets and safety equipment are available on every yacht.
