From booking to departure

  1. Select your yacht

    Browse by size or price and open the boat page: photos, capacity, crew and the hourly rate are all there, nothing hidden.

  2. Choose hours and itinerary

    Send the date and the hours you want. The captain suggests a route to match: Marina and JBR for two hours, Burj Al Arab or Atlantis for three or more.

  3. Secure with 30 % deposit

    Confirm with a deposit, pay the balance before you board. The booking terms page covers changes, weather and refunds.

  4. Step on board

    Come to the berth in the confirmation message 15 minutes early; the crew is waiting at the pier and loads your food and drinks.

How Do Our Fleet Specifications Compare Across Vessels?

Selecting the right boat begins with matching your group size to our certified craft dimensions. Our fleet presents 77 suitable boats ranging from 40 to 164 ft, with our largest vessel carrying up to 75 guests in comfort. Every vessel in our lineup is a motor yacht or power catamaran, engineered with stable cruising decks and spacious saloons.

Unlike operations that rely on unverified listings, our team maintains these motor yachts directly to ensure reliable departures. While larger yachts host big celebrations across multiple tiers, smaller cruisers offer nimble handling for shorter escapes. Whether you seek an extended offshore journey or a brisk 1 hour yacht ride in Dubai, our vessel dimensions provide balanced deck layouts for every coastal outing.

Cruising Routes Showcasing Striking Coastal Views

Selecting your navigational path allows you to view architectural wonders from the sea. Shorter voyages glide past Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, and the high-rise towers lining JBR beachfront before returning toward berth. Longer charter bookings venture toward the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, providing open vistas of the Atlantis resort and coastal shorelines.

Extended itineraries cruise toward Burj Al Arab lagoon, providing steady anchorage for photography or outdoor lunches. Because every charter is private, routes can be adapted in real time with the captain depending on maritime traffic and current sea conditions. Experiencing the skyline from your private sundeck provides unobstructed panoramas unavailable from public land viewpoints along the waterfront.

Which Standard Inclusions Are Provided with Every Charter?

Navigating coastal waters requires qualified personnel, which is why every private charter includes a certified captain and professional deckhands. The operating crew manages navigation, anchoring, and docking, freeing you to relax with your invited group. All fuel required for standard coastal courses is covered within our hourly pricing.

Inside the air-conditioned saloon, guests have access to chilled bottled water, ice boxes, and integrated Bluetooth sound systems to play their personal music. VAT is already included within the charter rate, preventing unexpected billing adjustments at the pier. Should marine authorities issue sudden weather cancellation notices, our policy provides either an immediate reschedule or a full refund, according to the guest's choice.

Catering Selections and Deck Dining Choices

Bringing your own refreshments aboard is always welcome on every private charter, with no corkage fees charged for personal provisions, including alcoholic beverages. For visitors who prefer turnkey hospitality, our team arranges complete meal services directly on the water. A multi-course dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, prepared to deliver freshly cooked dishes.

Celebration gatherings can also feature a custom cake brought on board from AED 250, alongside full barbecue packages coordinated prior to departure. Our team also sets up fresh beverage stations and table service to match your cruise schedule. Every dining package is confirmed through manager chat to ensure meals arrive ready as your vessel departs the harbour.

Marina Departure Berths and Boarding Instructions

Departures run out of premier berths at Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina, granting quick passage to open coastal waters. Arriving 15 to 20 minutes prior to your reserved slot ensures an orderly handover with the crew before lines are cast off. Guests need no passport or ID to board our private vessels, removing administrative paperwork at the pier.

Prior to stepping aboard, our team confirms that all pre-ordered catering, beverages, and entertainment gear are stowed properly. If you arrange a private JBR yacht rental departure, our captain welcomes your group at the designated pontoon gate. Once everyone steps onto the deck, the crew provides a short safety briefing and begins navigating toward open sea.

Exciting Water Activities and Custom Additions

Enhancing your voyage with marine sports brings active entertainment to your itinerary. We supply complete fishing gear with rods, tackle, and bait ready on board for AED 150, and our crew can prepare your fresh catch cooked on board for AED 150. Additional boat activities in the emirate include high-speed jet skis for riders aged 18 and over.

Our team also arranges flyboards, towed banana inflatables, seabobs, and stand-up paddle boards upon request. During afternoon charters, captains anchor in designated lagoons where guests can swim safely in open waters during daylight hours. Each requested water sport is scheduled with our operations coordinator in advance, ensuring specialized toys and safety gear are secured on deck before lines drop.

Booking Procedures and Initial Deposit Guidelines

Reserving your charter time involves a direct chat exchange rather than automated web carts or call desks. When you decide to book a boat in Dubai, you send your date, desired duration, and guest count via the WhatsApp button. Our managers respond within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to finalize the itinerary and vessel choice.

Once terms are agreed, you receive a secure payment link for credit card processing. The booking becomes firm once the 30 % deposit is paid, meaning unconfirmed requests do not hold berth slots. Outstanding balances are settled before boarding, and all published rates already include VAT, ensuring clear charter pricing with zero hidden surcharges at the pier.

Which Special Milestone Events Can You Host on Water?

Marking an anniversary or birthday on open water creates a focused setting away from onshore distractions. Our largest yachts welcome gatherings up to 75 guests, providing ample deck space for corporate meetings, team presentations, or private family celebrations. We coordinate turnkey visual styling, with complete yacht decoration before you arrive starting from AED 350.

To preserve your memories, an onboard photographer is available from AED 500 per hour, while romantic evening cruises can feature candles and flowers set up on deck from AED 400. You may also arrange live DJ setups, sound systems, or presentation screens with our cruise manager. Every gathering remains private, giving your guests complete freedom across all deck lounges throughout the voyage.

How Do Hourly Charter Rates and Vessel Categories Vary?

Charter pricing across our 77 suitable vessels reflects craft size, guest capacity, and interior appointments. Hourly rates range from AED 680 for intimate cruisers up to AED 18,900 for flagship tri-deck motor yachts, giving planners clear options for any group requirement. Each price point secures the entire private yacht exclusively for your party.

Shorter midday outings during cooler seasonal months offer pleasant daytime cruising, while evening slots capture glowing sunset vistas against waterfront architecture. You can review fleet availability and exact hourly rates directly with Qasba Waters managers via WhatsApp. With clear pricing, zero hidden booking charges, and custom extras priced separately, organizing a private charter remains simple and transparent.
