    Length is the main driver: boats under 50 ft start at AED 680 per hour, 100 ft and over cost several times that. Newer builds price higher than older ones of the same length.

  4. Extra gear or services

    Extras are priced separately: catering per person, DJ and decoration per charter, photographer per hour.

How Do Hourly Rates Vary by Boat Size?

Calculating the total investment for a private voyage depends on the physical dimensions of the vessel you choose. Smaller motorboats and agile sport cruisers measuring between 40 and 50 feet represent entry-level options starting from AED 680 per hour. Mid-sized options spanning 50 to 70 feet provide extra lounge space, ideal for family outings along the city shoreline. At the top tier, grand motor vessels reaching up to 164 feet in length command prices up to AED 18,900 per hour, catering to large corporate functions or grand social events. Unlike many operators that list base prices without local taxes, value-added tax is already fully included in every quoted rate on our schedule, so no hidden fees are added at checkout.

Exploring options within our fleet allows organizers to select a motor vessel suited to their exact headcount and event style. While smaller sport cruisers cater to quick coastal tours, mid-sized motor vessels offer open flybridges and wide sunpads. When comparing our private charters to public per-seat excursions, renting the whole boat grants your group complete privacy, personal control over the cruising path, and full access to deck amenities without sharing space with strangers. Rates are billed strictly on an hourly basis, giving group organizers absolute control over total costs while cruising off Dubai Marina.

Included Charter Amenities and Boat Services

Understanding what is included in the base charter rate helps organizers calculate the true luxury yacht charter cost before making a booking. Every private charter comes complete with a licensed, experienced captain and dedicated deck crew who handle all navigation, line handling, and safety operations. Fuel required for standard cruising routes along the coastline is entirely included in the initial quote, preventing unexpected surcharge line items at the conclusion of your trip. The overall cost of yacht charter covers complete access to the vessel's indoor salons, outdoor sun decks, and integrated sound systems.

Vague charges are eliminated because essential guest comforts are built into the hourly price. Every motor yacht is stocked with complimentary bottled water, soft drinks, and fresh ice to keep your party refreshed throughout the journey. Under international maritime regulations, hiring a boat bareboat without a qualified captain is not permitted for commercial recreational vessels in local waters; thus, fully skippered operations ensure maximum safety and convenience. Whether you are reviewing the cost to charter a yacht for an intimate gathering or calculating the full cost of super yacht charter options for large groups, transparent pricing ensures total clarity when planning a voyage in Dubai.

Adding Water Entertainment and Custom Event Options

Enhancing a private outing with action-focused activities or specialized entertainment is coordinated through our management team. Thrilling additions such as jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, banana towables, and seabobs are arranged upon request for an added fee. Guests looking for aquatic sports or quiet cove swimming can pause the motor yacht along designated coastal stops. For those interested in deep-sea angling, fishing tackle and bait can be made ready on board for AED 150, giving your group everything required to catch fish off the coast. If you bring in a notable catch during the charter, the crew will have your catch cooked on board for AED 150 right in the galley.

Event customization extends far beyond water sports to include onboard music, decoration, and specialized production setup. Organizers can request live musical acts, professional DJs, or even high-definition projectors with sound systems for corporate presentations while docked or cruising off the coast. To capture the occasion, a photographer on board can be scheduled from AED 500 per hour. Having the yacht decorated before you arrive is available from AED 350, providing custom balloons or floral arrangements, while a celebration cake brought on board starts from AED 250. Every add-on detail is arranged directly with our manager via chat before setting sail in Dubai.

Cruising Paths Linking Major Coastal Hubs

Customizing your cruising path allows your group to view the city's iconic landmarks from the water. Outings departing from Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina can head toward the stunning skyline of JBR before circling Ain Dubai on Bluewaters. Short two-hour charters focus on these immediate waterfront developments, offering excellent photo opportunities from the open deck of your motor yacht. Extending the cruise duration to three or four hours allows the captain to navigate around the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, bringing guests past grand resort developments toward the open sea.

Longer charters spanning five to six hours open up extended coastal routes toward world-famous architecture. Guests can drop anchor in the calm waters near the Burj Al Arab for a swim or navigate further north along the coast toward the World Islands and the Dubai Water Canal. Because every charter is completely private, the itinerary remains fully flexible to suit your group's preferred pace. You can choose to spend more time anchored in a quiet bay for water sports or maintain a continuous cruise along the coast of Dubai.

Child Guest Policies and Identity Standards

Welcoming families on board our motor yachts is a standard part of our daily operation. Children and infants of all ages are fully permitted to join private charters, making these voyages popular for family reunions and birthday celebrations. Safety life jackets tailored for younger guests are stowed on board to ensure every minor remains secure while moving about the open decks or lounging on the flybridge. Because every voyage is completely private for your group, parents enjoy a controlled environment without the crowded conditions of public commercial craft. Young adults interested in operating personal watercraft, such as jet skis during anchor stops, must meet the minimum age threshold of 18 years.

Boarding procedures at the marina are intentionally designed to be smooth and quick for every attendee. Qasba Waters ensures that no passport or identity document is asked for at boarding, removing extra paperwork at the dock. Guests simply arrive at the designated pier at Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina, meet the captain and deck crew, and step directly onto the vessel to begin their charter. Our crew focuses on guest comfort and effortless access, ensuring your family spends less time dealing with dockside delays and more time enjoying the open water along the coast of Dubai.

Can Catering and Outside Meals Be Served?

Dining on board adds a delightful culinary dimension to any private cruise along the coast. Our company permits guests to bring their own food, soft drinks or alcohol on board, and this option is allowed and free of charge. Whether you prefer to pack light picnic snacks, order takeaway platters from a favored restaurant, or prepare custom dishes in advance, bringing your own refreshments incurs no extra corkage or service fees. For those who prefer a completely hands-off experience, full food services can be arranged directly through our manager.

Professional dining options range from casual deck cookouts to formal multi-course meals. Our team arranges live barbecue catering, international buffet spreads, and delicate canapé selections cooked or served on board by the crew. Standard dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, providing freshly prepared dishes tailored to your group's dietary preferences. If you are celebrating an anniversary or hosting a corporate mixer, booking our specialized boat party catering services ensures all setup, service, and cleanup are managed expertly. To elevate the ambiance further, candles and flowers set up on deck can be prepared from AED 400 prior to departure in Dubai.

What Are the Rules for Booking and Cancellation?

Securing a motor vessel for your preferred date follows a clear, direct reservation workflow. When planning your trip, reviewing the overall Dubai yacht booking price structure helps you select the ideal duration and vessel size. A guest contacts our manager using the dedicated chat button on our website, sharing the desired date, time slot, and total number of attendees. Our manager confirms vessel availability, helps map out the itinerary, and outlines any requested extras. Once the itinerary is set, the manager sends a secure online card payment link. The reservation becomes firm once the 30% deposit is paid, which locks the date on our calendar. The remaining balance is settled prior to boarding at the marina.

Weather disruptions are handled with complete protection for the client. If severe sea conditions or poor weather make cruising unsafe, bad weather is not the guest's loss, as the outing is either moved to a new date or the payment returned in full. Guests can send inquiries at any hour, with messages getting an answer within a quarter of an hour from 9 in the morning to 11 at night Gulf time. Should your schedule require a change, discussing adjustments with your charter manager early ensures alternative arrangements can be made smoothly in Dubai.

Fleet Categories and Guest Capacity Options

Selecting the right vessel size hinges on your group size and the style of event you wish to host. Our fleet features models ranging from 40 feet in length up to expansive 164-foot superyachts. For small family outings or intimate social gatherings, motorboats and sport cruisers accommodate smaller groups comfortably with spacious seating, sunbeds, and indoor cabins. Mid-sized motor yachts spanning 50 to 70 feet accommodate larger groups, offering flybridges that elevate sightseeing opportunities along the coast of Dubai.

For major corporate functions, product launches, or grand celebrations, high-capacity vessels offer expansive multi-deck layouts designed for mingling. The largest capacity across our options accommodates up to 75 guests, ensuring everyone enjoys ample seating, shade, and dance space. Both single-hull motor yachts and wide-beam power catamarans are available to deliver smooth stability while at anchor or underway. Selecting the correct capacity category ensures every guest enjoys full comfort, prompt crew attention, and safe cruising throughout the charter.

Seasonal Rates and Timing Considerations

Timing your coastal trip plays a key role in the overall charter experience and atmospheric conditions on the water. The primary sailing season stretches from November through April, when mild temperatures and clear skies create perfect conditions for daytime sunbathing and outdoor dining. Demand for motor vessels is naturally high during these cooler months, making early reservations via chat essential for securing prime afternoon and evening calendar slots. Late afternoon departures that capture the sunset over the Arabian Gulf are particularly popular, offering dramatic light across the city skyline.

Summer charters running from May through October offer an alternative experience for groups seeking quieter conditions on the water. During these warmer months, early morning trips and evening night cruises provide comfortable temperatures on deck. Every motor yacht features fully air-conditioned interior salons and indoor lounges, allowing guests to cool off in complete comfort between outdoor dips. Regardless of whether you book during peak winter weekends or quiet summer weekday mornings, our transparent hourly prices remain consistent across our fleet of 77 suitable boats available for hire in Dubai.
