Which Fleet Selection Matches Your Private Trip?
Selecting the right vessel depends entirely on the size of your gathering and your planned itinerary. Zubarah offers 77 of our 88 vessels for custom trips along the coast, with motor yacht options ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length. Smaller motor craft host cozy family outings, while larger vessels fit gatherings for up to 75 guests comfortably. Onboard spaces feature air-conditioned salons, shaded lounge seating, sound systems, and open decks. If you plan to hire a boat in Dubai for a private group, our manager helps match your party to the perfect craft before departure.
Captain and Dedicated Crew Manage Your Voyage
Every voyage is guided by a licensed captain and attentive deck staff dedicated entirely to your safety and comfort. Your captain handles all navigation, sea monitoring, and docking, ensuring a smooth journey from start to finish. Meanwhile, the deck crew assists guests on board by serving drinks, managing deck amenities, and preparing the grill for hot meals. Their professional presence lets your group relax completely, taking in the sea breeze and city scenery while every detail on deck is managed smoothly by trained hands.
Water Sports and Inflatable Toys Available on Request
Anchoring in open waters opens up possibilities for action on the sea. Guests can request high-powered jet skis or try flyboarding during sea stops along the coastline. We also arrange inflatable amenities like water slides, sea pools, and towable banana boats upon request. For gentle exploration around the hull, stand-up paddleboards, seabobs, and snorkelling gear are easily added to your schedule. Fishing tackle and bait can be prepared on board for AED 150. All vessels undergo regular vessel insurance checks, while mandatory life jackets and maritime safety gear remain accessible on board during every single voyage.
How Does Charter Duration Shape Your Trip Schedule?
Selecting your cruise duration determines how much ground your motor yacht covers along the coast. A quick two-hour trip offers a focused sightseeing loop past local coastal towers, perfect for photo opportunities. Expanding your rental to three or four hours provides ample time to drop anchor in calm waters for swimming, jet skiing, or enjoying a full meal on deck. Full-day charters allow your party to explore distant coastal locations without any rush, balancing active water sports with long, relaxing meals on the open sea.
Booking Payment Terms and Simple Deposit Requirements
Reserving your preferred date requires contacting our manager directly via WhatsApp. Share your requested date, duration, and group count, and our team responds within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 Gulf time. A date is confirmed only with the 30 % deposit paid through a secure online payment link. We do not hold dates without this deposit, and the remaining balance is settled before boarding. Should poor sea conditions prevent your departure, you can pick a new date or receive a full refund. Guests are never subjected to ID checks or passport verification when boarding our craft.
Can Your Cruise Route Pass Major City Landmarks?
Departing from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour positions your group near top coastal sights. Short cruises head out past the JBR skyline and Ain Dubai, while extended charters navigate around Palm Jumeirah toward the iconic Burj Al Arab. You can coordinate your route with the manager to view the illuminated city towers from the water after sunset. For large group outings, choosing a 35 people yacht in Dubai Marina ensures everyone has clear views of the skyline from broad open decks while cruising smoothly along the shoreline.
What Are the Hourly Price Options for Charters?
Charter pricing remains clear and predictable with no hidden charges added at checkout. Hourly rates for our motor vessels start from AED 680 and reach AED 18,900 for larger multi-deck yachts. Every quote includes standard 5% VAT, fuel, and the professional captain and deck crew. Because each booking represents a private charter for your group alone, you pay for the entire vessel rather than individual per-person ticket seats. Whether you require a brief two-hour outing or an all-day coastal excursion, the rate stays flat regardless of guest count within capacity.
Catering and Custom Dining Packages Served on Deck
Dining at sea is easily tailored to your preferences. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and beverages on board, including alcohol, without paying any corkage fee. If you prefer turnkey dining, our team arranges complete catering packages starting from AED 250 per guest, featuring international buffets or hot BBQ menus cooked fresh on deck. Having your catch cooked on board costs AED 150. Every charter includes complimentary chilled bottled water and ice. For special sweet additions, a celebration cake can be delivered directly to the vessel from AED 250.
Celebration Setup and Private Event Options
Hosting a milestone event on the water makes any occasion distinctive. We arrange custom styling packages for birthdays, anniversaries, corporate networking events, or romantic wedding proposals. Having your motor craft decorated before arrival starts from AED 350, while professional candles and flowers set up on deck are available from AED 400. To document your outing, an onboard photographer can be hired from AED 500 per hour. Onboard sound systems and media screens connect easily for music playlists, photo slideshows, or corporate presentations during your gathering.
