In recent years, Dubai has been attracting attention not only for its skyscrapers and shopping malls but also for its luxury yacht tours. Especially tours around Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Marina are highly popular among both locals and tourists. With its perfect climate, turquoise sea, and glamorous marinas, yacht rental has practically become a “lifestyle” here.
So why is it so popular? Because yachts in Dubai are not only a means of transportation; they are also used as tools of entertainment and prestige. From birthday parties and wedding celebrations to business meetings and romantic evenings, many events are hosted on luxury yachts.
Choosing the right yacht directly affects the quality of your experience in Dubai. There are various options such as single-deck motor yachts, catamarans, or superyachts. But the key is to determine what suits your needs and the number of guests.
If you're going with a large group, you should opt for yachts with spacious decks and multiple cabins. For a more boutique and romantic experience, a catamaran or mid-sized motor yacht may suffice.
Safety should come first. Make sure that the yacht and the captain you plan to rent have all the required licenses and certifications. All legal companies operating in Dubai are supervised by the Dubai Maritime City Authority.
It’s also extremely important to check whether the yacht has life jackets, fire extinguishers, and first aid equipment on board.
In Dubai, yachts can generally be rented hourly, for half a day, or for a full day. Since sunset hours are in high demand, it’s advisable to plan ahead.
Booking early between October and March, which is peak season, is important for both availability and better pricing.
Prices vary depending on the yacht’s size, features, and included services. The average hourly rental fee can range from 700 to 5000 AED. However, the most important point to be aware of here is: hidden fees.
Some companies may charge extra for fuel, cleaning, or captain services. Therefore, when getting a price quote, always ask: “Is everything included?”
Many yachts in Dubai offer premium services: private chefs, DJs, service staff, and jet skis can enrich your experience. But it’s important to clarify whether these are included in the price.
Also, yacht equipment matters: features like air conditioning, sound systems, and sunbathing areas directly affect your enjoyment of the tour.
Routes close to iconic landmarks like Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, Atlantis, and The World Islands are favorites among tourists. If you want your yacht to cruise these routes, confirm the itinerary beforehand.
You can either plan the route yourself or take the captain’s suggestions. I highly recommend not missing the sunset view over the sea!
Never rent a yacht without signing a written contract. The date, duration, cost, service details, and cancellation policies should all be clearly stated.
Some companies may not refund part or all of the deposit in case of cancellation. Therefore, it’s crucial to understand the cancellation policies in detail.
There are many yacht rental companies in Dubai. However, not all offer the same quality of service. Google reviews, TripAdvisor ratings, and social media feedback can be very helpful when making your choice.
Additionally, the professionalism of the company's official website and the responsiveness of their customer service can give you insight into how serious the company is.
Renting a yacht in Dubai can be an unforgettable experience… but only with proper planning. Here are the final tips:
Make your reservation at least one week in advance.
Don’t forget sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses.
Don’t forget to ask about the company’s alcohol policy.
Bring your passport or ID with you.
If you follow these tips, your yacht trip in Dubai will not just be “good” — it will be “perfect”!
