Dubai Marina
Yacht rental in Dubai Marina
Yacht rental in Dubai Marina starts at AED 750 per hour with crew, fuel and marina fees included. Our boats berth in the Marina itself, so you board a five-minute walk from Marina Walk and clear the breakwater inside ten minutes.

The Marina is the reason most people charter here rather than anywhere else on the coast. The channel runs between the towers before it opens onto the Gulf, so the first ten minutes of a charter already look like the postcard — Cayan Tower, Princess Tower, the whole wall of glass — and you have not left the harbour yet. Turn left at the breakwater and Bluewaters and Ain Dubai are five minutes away. Turn right and you are at the Palm.
Boarding is at a numbered berth we send you the day before, with parking at Dubai Marina Mall or Pier 7 five minutes on foot. We ask you to arrive fifteen minutes before departure because the clock starts when the boat leaves the berth, not when you get there.
A Dubai Marina yacht tour of two hours suits a first charter and covers the Marina channel, Bluewaters and the JBR shoreline. Three hours gets you to the Palm and Atlantis with time to stop and swim. Anything longer and we would rather talk about where you actually want to anchor.
What is included
- Captain and crew, fuel, and all marina and departure fees
- Chilled water, soft drinks and ice for the whole charter
- Bluetooth sound system and shaded deck seating
- Swim ladder, snorkels and floating mats on the swim stop
- Life jackets in adult and children's sizes
Worth knowing
- Charter time is measured berth to berth, so build in the run out and back.
- October to April is the busy half of the year; sunset slots on Friday and Saturday go first.
- You may bring your own food and soft drinks at no charge. Alcohol is by arrangement and subject to UAE law.
Options
Ways to do this
Marina and Bluewaters
2 hours
Out through the Marina channel, along JBR, a slow pass under Ain Dubai and back. The shortest charter we run and the one we put first-timers on.
Marina to the Palm
3 hours
Adds the Atlantis frontage and the Palm crescent, with forty minutes at anchor to swim. The most-booked shape of day.
Marina to the World Islands
4 to 5 hours
Far enough offshore that the skyline goes quiet. Lunch onboard, a long swim stop, and the coast taken slowly on the way home.

FAQ
Questions people ask
- How much is yacht rental in Dubai Marina?
- From AED 750 per hour for a 48ft boat carrying up to 12 guests, rising to AED 3,200 per hour for an 85ft yacht carrying 35. Crew, fuel and marina fees are inside that rate. A typical first charter — three hours on a 48ft boat — comes to AED 2,250.
- Where exactly do we board in Dubai Marina?
- At a numbered berth in Dubai Marina, which we confirm by message the day before along with a pin. It is a five-minute walk from Dubai Marina Mall, where you can park. We ask you to arrive fifteen minutes before departure.
- What is the minimum yacht rental in Dubai Marina?
- Two hours on the 48ft and 55ft boats, three hours on the 62ft and four hours on the 85ft. The minimum is set by the boat rather than by the day of the week.
- Can we swim on a Dubai Marina yacht charter?
- Yes, on any charter of three hours or more. We anchor off the Palm or in the lee of the World Islands, drop the swim ladder and put out snorkels and floats. Two-hour charters stay under way because there is not enough time to anchor properly.
- How many people fit on a yacht in Dubai Marina?
- Between 12 and 35 guests depending on the boat, and the number on the licence is the number we can carry — children included. If your group sits close to a limit, tell us the real headcount and we will move you up a size rather than squeeze.
