Which Boat Models Are Available in Our Fleet?

Selecting the right vessel depends on group size and cruise style. We feature 77 suitable boats out of our total 88 fleet vessels, ranging from 40 to 164 ft in length. Smaller motor cruisers provide an intimate setting for gatherings of two to ten guests, equipped with comfortable lounges and shaded seating. Larger vessels feature expansive flybridges, air-conditioned salons, sun decks, and modern galleys to support bigger groups. You can secure an exclusive yacht charter in Dubai that accommodates up to 75 guests for milestone gatherings. Our entire collection consists of motor yachts and power catamarans, ensuring stability and smooth navigation along the coast. Every journey is strictly private, giving your group total access to the vessel without sharing deck space with outside parties.

Can BYO Refreshments Be Brought on Board?

Bringing personal food and beverages onto our yachts is completely welcome and incurs no extra fee. Guests are free to bring snacks, prepared meals, soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages. For added convenience, our crew can set up live cooking services. We offer to have your catch cooked on board for AED 150. Alternatively, our manager can coordinate full catering packages prior to departure, including dinner served on board from AED 250 per guest. Celebration cakes can also be delivered directly to the vessel starting from AED 250. Refrigeration space and ice are available on deck to keep your refreshments cold throughout the voyage.

Can Adrenaline Water Toys Be Added to the Trip?

Enhancing your time on the water is straightforward with our extra activity options. Jet skis, flyboards, paddle boards, seabobs, and towables like banana boats can be arranged on request through your charter manager. Snorkelling equipment and fishing gear can also be added for open-water stops. We offer setup of rods, tackle, and bait ready on board for AED 150. Water sports are conducted in approved open-water anchor zones during cruises of two hours or longer. Equipment availability is confirmed in your WhatsApp chat prior to departure, allowing your group to enjoy tailored aquatic activities safely managed by professional operators.

Which Itineraries Showcase Coastal Landmarks?

Standard cruise routes depart from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour to highlight prominent landmarks. A two-hour itinerary moves down the marina channel past JBR and Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island. Extending your charter to three or four hours allows the vessel to travel further along Palm Jumeirah toward Atlantis and the iconic Burj Al Arab. Deep sea fishing charters can also be arranged on extended trips, taking your group further offshore for sport fishing. Sunset slots remain popular for watching the skyline illuminate. Your captain manages the route based on your preferred timeframe and prevailing sea conditions.

How Are Special Celebration Gatherings Arranged on Deck?

Hosting milestone events on board our vessels creates memorable experiences for personal or corporate gatherings. Our larger motor yachts accommodate parties, corporate meetings, anniversaries, and romantic proposals with custom arrangements. The manager can arrange for the yacht to be decorated before you arrive from AED 350, or set up candles and flowers on deck from AED 400. Professional event extras include an onboard photographer from AED 500 per hour, sound systems for presentation needs, or live entertainment setup. Every event is tailored specifically to your group's preferences through direct consultation with our management team.
