Private Yacht Charter in Dubai Marina
The whole yacht, your guest list, your route along JBR and Ain Dubai.
About the Private Yacht Charter
With a private yacht charter the whole boat is yours: only your group on board, your choice of start time and your choice of route. The captain and crew are included and take care of everything, so you can relax, play your own music and enjoy Dubai Marina from the water.
Most charters cruise the Marina canal and then head out along JBR towards Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai, with stops for swimming and photos along the way. Morning and afternoon charters are made for sun and swimming; sunset and evening charters show the skyline lit up.
Charters run from 2 to 8 hours for up to 12 guests and are priced per hour for the whole yacht, not per person. It is the favourite choice for birthdays, proposals, family days out and small corporate groups — tell us what you are celebrating and we will set it up.
