What Standard Inclusions Come with Every Charter?

Every motor yacht voyage includes complete marine service to ensure a smooth journey along the coastline. On board, guests receive chilled mineral water, soft drinks, fresh ice, and complete dining tableware for their group. Standard fuel required for the cruising itinerary, marine insurance, and basic safety gear are fully incorporated into your rate. A professional captain and hospitality crew handle navigation and look after everyone on deck throughout the trip. If you wish to organize a private yacht celebration in Dubai, our team easily adds custom amenities on request. The total fee shown is VAT-inclusive so there are never hidden costs when booking with us. Should poor weather prevent setting sail, you can choose between moving your reservation to a different available date or receiving a full refund. During daylight hours, your captain can drop anchor in safe coastal waters so everyone can enjoy a refreshing swim off the deck.

Interior Layouts and Deck Specifications for Your Group

The midsize motor fleet in our selection spans lengths of 75-80 ft, offering expansive living spaces for all aboard. These vessels are crafted with multi-level layouts featuring open flybridges, climate-controlled main saloons, and modern sound systems. Depending on the design, individual craft accommodate varied gathering sizes up to our largest capacity of 45 guests. Interior layouts include plush seating areas, multiple cabins, and clean washroom facilities for changing after water activities. Guests can enjoy panoramic coastal views from the shaded upper deck or relax on the bow lounge cushions. Whether you plan a quiet family gathering or a larger corporate mixer, these motor yachts present generous floor plans. If you wish to book fishing boat rentals for deep sea outings, we can also supply dedicated tackle for your excursion. Every vessel is kept in top operational condition, ensuring clean deck spaces and inviting indoor lounges throughout your time at sea.

How to Confirm Your Booking with an Initial Deposit

Securing your preferred date and departure time requires paying 30% up front to lock the calendar slot. Unpaid dates remain open to other inquiries, so prompt confirmation is advised to hold your craft. To begin, simply message our team via the WhatsApp chat button on our website with your desired date, duration, and guest headcount. We reply in the chat within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to discuss available craft and routes. Once details are finalized, your manager sends a secure online payment link for card payment to collect the deposit. The remaining balance is settled before boarding at the marina berth. Guests should plan to arrive at the pontoon 10 to 15 minutes before the scheduled departure time for a smooth start. The entire process takes place online without complex paperwork or lengthy admin steps.

Can Guests Add Custom Options and Services?

Personalizing your private voyage is simple when coordinating through our online chat. You can request high-energy water sports such as jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, towables, or a seabob for your group. We can also organize targeted add-ons with fixed pricing directly through your booking manager. For instance, rods, tackle, and bait can be prepared on board for AED 150, and having your catch cooked on deck costs AED 150. Vessel decoration prior to your arrival starts from AED 350, while a celebration cake can be brought on board from AED 250. Photographers can capture your trip from AED 500 per hour, and candles with flowers set up on deck are available from AED 400. Full dinner service can be served on board starting from AED 250 per guest. All extra requests are confirmed in advance with your dedicated charter manager before departure.

Guest Guidelines and Law for Safe Cruising

Private motor charters operate under strict maritime safety standards to protect everyone on board. Professional captains monitor sea conditions and oversee vessel operations throughout your journey. To keep teak and fiberglass decks in pristine condition, guests are asked to remove shoes before stepping aboard into the main saloon. Adequate life jackets and emergency marine gear are stowed on every craft according to regulatory standards. The crew conducts brief orientations so guests know where equipment is located before leaving the berth.

Modern navigation tools and communication equipment ensure continuous contact with harbor authorities while at sea. Guests need no passport or identity documents to come aboard, as nobody checks IDs at the dock. Every trip booked with us is completely private, meaning the entire boat is reserved for your group of up to 45 guests. Paying 30% up front locks the date, while unpaid dates are not held. The rest of your balance is settled prior to boarding, ensuring a smooth transition onto the water for your private group voyage.

What Are the Hourly Charter Rates for Our Fleet?

Charter pricing for our 78 ft motor vessels ranges from AED 1,250 to AED 5,250 per hour. The total cost depends on the specific craft selected from our 6 suitable boats stationed at the marina. Every quoted hourly rate is VAT-inclusive, meaning the price you see is the final price for the vessel rental itself. Booking requires a minimum reservation time, typically starting at two hours to allow a proper coastal cruise. You can select an ideal vessel based on your group size, required deck space, and budget expectations. All rates cover the entire private craft, captain, crew, fuel, and non-alcoholic refreshments. Because dates fill up quickly during peak seasons, locking in your preferred time slot early is recommended. Our team provides clear price breakdowns before you make any payment, ensuring complete transparency for your planning. Optional extras arranged through our manager are billed separately alongside your baseline vessel rental fee.

Popular Cruising Routes Along Iconic Waterfront Landmarks

A short two-hour voyage departing from Dubai Harbour takes your party past the skyline of JBR, around Bluewaters Island, and close to Ain Dubai. Extending your trip to three hours allows the captain to navigate around Palm Jumeirah toward the crescent for photos near Atlantis The Palm. A four-hour charter gives ample time to reach the waters near Burj Al Arab while incorporating dedicated anchor time for swimming. The exact path can be adapted to your preferences, whether you want active sightseeing or a quiet anchor stop.

Cruising along the coast reveals striking views of modern architecture from the open water. Sunset time slots are especially popular for capturing golden hour photos against the urban backdrop. Longer journeys permit a relaxed pace, combining slow sightseeing with time for water activities or dining on the aft deck. We offer 6 suitable boats ranging from 75 to 80 ft in length, with hourly rates from AED 1,250 to AED 5,250. You can easily organize a private yacht celebration in Dubai along these iconic coastal routes by coordinating details directly with our team in the chat.

Clear Rules on Outside Alcohol and Onboard Refreshments

Bringing your own catering, snacks, and beverages onto our motor yachts is fully permitted. Guests may bring alcoholic beverages aboard without paying any corkage fee or extra service charges. Fully equipped galley spaces feature microwave ovens, refrigeration units, and electric BBQ facilities available upon request. Our crew assists with chilling your drinks, setting up ice buckets, and serving food to your group. If you prefer a turnkey dining experience, our manager can arrange freshly prepared BBQ menus or catered multi-course meals. You have complete freedom to mix home-cooked meals, delivery platters, or professional catering for your event. Sound systems on deck connect easily to personal devices so you can set your own music atmosphere while dining. Clean glassware, cutlery, and plates are provided on board to ensure a comfortable dining environment while cruising along the coast of the city.

Understanding Daylight Restrictions for Safe Coastal Swimming

Ocean swimming during your private charter is permitted strictly during daylight hours for safety reasons. Captains select sheltered lagoons or calm bay areas for dropping anchor when guests want to enter the sea. Once the sun sets, swimming is no longer allowed under maritime guidelines, though your party can continue cruising and celebrating on board. Swim stops are always subject to current wind and swell conditions, with the captain holding final authority on safe anchor locations. Having daylight allows the crew to maintain clear visual watch over everyone in the water.

Guests can combine a daytime swim stop with paddle boarding or jet skis before setting off on a sightseeing cruise. Be sure to schedule an afternoon or early morning charter if swimming is a main goal for your day on the water. If weather conditions do not allow sailing on your chosen date, we move the charter to another date or refund the payment, giving you complete peace of mind. Our team replies in the chat within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to help you plan the optimal daytime swimming itinerary for your group.
