Yacht Rental Dubai Prices: Hourly Costs and Group Examples

Quick facts before you compare prices

• 58 ft Azimuth: AED500 per hour; maximum 23 guests.
• 75 ft yacht: AED600 per hour; maximum 40 guests.
• Minimum booking: one hour, with durations in whole hours.
• Start times are selectable in 30-minute intervals, subject to availability.
• Daytime and night-time bookings are supported, including bookings that cross midnight.
• Choose Pay Online through Stripe or Pay on Arrival by cash or card.

Food, drinks, catering, decorations and pickup should be discussed with the team. Do not assume they are included because a dinner cruise includes dinner or because another yacht operator advertises a particular package.

Our current yacht rental prices

The calculation is straightforward: hourly yacht rate × number of hours. The examples below show the vessel rental calculation for each of our two yachts. They do not price any separately arranged requirements.

The difference between the two vessels is AED100 per hour: AED200 over two hours or AED300 over three hours. This gives you a concrete upgrade cost to weigh against your guest count and preferences. A larger guest limit does not mean that every group needs the larger yacht.

A 30-minute start-time interval is different from a 30-minute rental. For example, a start at 4:30 PM can be paired with a two-hour duration. The available duration is still a whole number of hours; the minimum remains one hour.

What would the cost be if friends shared it?

Take a group of ten guests booking three hours. The 58 ft yacht costs AED1,500 in total, equivalent to AED150 each if the group divides that amount equally. The 75 ft yacht costs AED1,800 in total, equivalent to AED180 each on the same basis.

These are group budgeting examples, not individual yacht ticket prices. You reserve the yacht for the group. If only eight friends attend, the same AED1,500 rental divided eight ways becomes AED187.50 each. The vessel price has not increased; fewer people are sharing it.

Agree on your likely headcount before choosing the duration and collecting contributions. Avoid building the budget around the maximum capacity unless that is your actual group size. A full-capacity calculation can make a trip look inexpensive per person while concealing the amount the organiser must cover if guests drop out.

Which yacht and duration fit your budget?

Start with guest count. Up to 23 guests can consider either vessel; a group of 24 to 40 needs the 75 ft option among these two yachts. If your count includes children or infants, give the full group details to the team rather than assuming anyone can be omitted from capacity planning.

Next, choose the time onboard. One hour suits a group seeking a short private outing. Two or three hours provide more time to enjoy being together and take photographs without packing every activity into a brief session. These are planning suggestions, not promises that a particular landmark or route is reachable within that period.

For a useful budget comparison, two hours on the 75 ft yacht costs AED1,200, while three hours on the 58 ft yacht costs AED1,500. The extra AED300 buys another hour on the smaller vessel, provided your guest count fits. Decide whether additional time or the larger vessel matters more to your group.

Use our yacht duration guide to think through pace, photographs and start times. If a particular destination is essential, ask the team what is feasible before committing to a duration.

How to check the final booking

Open the yacht selection and booking page, choose your vessel, date, available start time and whole-hour duration, then review the booking details. Check the date carefully when selecting a late-night start: the booking can continue into the next calendar day.

You can make a real booking using Pay Online through Stripe or Pay on Arrival by cash or card, subject to availability. A Pay on Arrival reservation is confirmed but unpaid; it is not merely an enquiry, and it does not mean payment has already been collected.

Before completing the booking, ask about any food, drinks, transport or celebration arrangements you need. Have the team confirm what can be arranged and any additional price. Review the current cancellation terms linked during booking, especially if you are collecting money from several guests.

Common yacht price questions

Is AED500 the price per person?

No. AED500 is the hourly whole-yacht rate for the 58 ft Azimuth. The 75 ft yacht is AED600 per hour.

Can I book for 90 minutes?

Durations are offered in whole hours, with a one-hour minimum. A start on the half hour does not change that rule.

Does the yacht price include dinner or hotel pickup?

Do not assume either is included. Ask the team to confirm the arrangements for your yacht booking and the cost of any requested additions.

Is a private yacht cheaper than a dinner cruise?

That depends on group size, duration and what you want included. Dinner cruises use individual tickets and include dinner; yachts use whole-vessel hourly pricing. Compare the complete plans in our private yacht versus dinner cruise guide.
