Yacht Charter Dubai

Yacht rental Dubai searches mix two different things: renting a whole boat for your group, and buying a seat on a shared yacht tour. I compared five yacht tickets on GetYourGuide, and they are mostly the second kind, with private options on two of them. For the full picture of what else sails, my page on boat tours in Dubai compares 12 trips side by side.

My pick, in one line: I’d book the Xclusive luxury yacht tour at $25 for a first marina cruise, because it has 22,295 reviews averaging 4.7 and a long list of inclusions. A Dubai yacht rental of the shared kind is the better value, and I’d move up to the superyacht at $126 only for a group that wants a DJ and a swim stop. Prices are in US dollars from the listings, checked in October 2026, and booking links are affiliate links.

Yacht Rentals Dubai

How do these yacht rentals in Dubai compare? The table sets the five tickets next to each other, best first. A ticket is a seat on a shared boat unless the listing offers a private option.

Mega yacht dinner cruise with buffet	Dutch Oriental	$82	Ticket valid 1 day	Mega yacht	4.4 (4,865)	Free up to 24 hours before

I don’t have hourly charter prices for a whole boat. Google Maps lists several yacht rental companies in the marina, including MY Cruises, Royal Blue Coast Yachts Rental and BoatCharter.ae, but none of them has a bookable listing in my data, so I won’t quote a price for them.

Yacht Tour Dubai

The most popular yacht rental in Dubai for visitors is really a ticket, and the most popular yacht tour Dubai sells is the Xclusive Yachts luxury cruise, and the one I’d book first. The listing includes a captain, a virtual tour guide, life jackets, an air-conditioned lounge with free WiFi, swimming and hotel pickup and drop-off. A light breakfast comes with the breakfast option and BBQ food with the 2-hour and 3-hour options. The listed route covers Dubai Marina, Ain Dubai, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Atlantis and the Burj Al Arab. The listing says wheelchair users cannot take part and asks you to bring swimwear if you plan to swim.

The Sky Walker Yachts tour covers a similar coast from a different starting point. It costs the same $25 and has 4.7 from 20,073 reviews. Its stops add Dubai Harbour, Bluewaters Island and Marina Beach, and the listing includes soft drinks, water, juice and a host, with a bar on board that you pay for.

Dubai Yacht Tour

A Dubai yacht rental ticket is a different trip depending on the time of day. The 360 Adventures yacht is the cheapest ticket at $21, and it comes with several departure options: a 3:00 PM light meal, a 5:00 PM light-bites tour that mentions BBQ in the cooler months, and an 8:00 PM BBQ dinner. The lower deck is air-conditioned, the upper deck is open air, toilets are on board and soft drinks and bottled water are included. Alcohol is sold on board. People prone to motion sickness are listed as not suitable.

I’d choose it for the price and the choice of times. It scores 4.6 from 5,061 reviews, a little below the two $25 tickets, and the listing offers a private option for a group. Read the departure options carefully, because the meeting point varies with the option you choose. More on timing is on my sunset cruise Dubai page.

Yacht Tours in Dubai

Yacht tours in Dubai, and yacht rentals in Dubai more broadly, go from a 1-hour spin to a 3-hour party, and the superyacht is at the top end. The Xclusive superyacht costs $126, runs 3 hours and scores 4.8 from 4,076 reviews. It lists a guide and captain, a live DJ, swim time, a Mario Kart game console, photographs, cocktails and drinks including beer and wine, plus lunch or dinner depending on the option and live sushi on the VIP option. The stops are Dubai Harbour, Dubai Eye, Atlantis and Atlantis The Royal.

The listing says there are two meeting points, and which one you get depends on the option, so check your voucher before you travel. I’d book the superyacht for a birthday or a group of friends, and the $25 yachts for a couple or a family.

Yacht Hire Dubai

If you think of yacht hire in Dubai as a whole-boat yacht rental, the closest tickets in my data are the ones with a private option. The Sky Walker Yachts and 360 Adventures listings both say a private option is available. The 360 Adventures listing adds that you can bring your own food and drinks if you opt for private. I don’t have the private prices, so open the booking page and select the private option to see the price for your date and group size.

For a shared boat that feels like a charter, the Dutch Oriental Mega Yacht dinner cruise is the largest in my data. It costs $82, has 4,865 reviews averaging 4.4, and lists a captain and crew, a DJ and live entertainment, and an international buffet. Check-in starts at 6:45 pm and sailing is at 7:30 pm from the boat in front of Pier 7 next to Dubai Marina Mall. The standard ticket gets top observation deck access with no table or seating, and the VIP ticket adds a reserved sky-deck table. I’d treat it as a dinner, and my dinner cruise Dubai page covers it in more detail.

Yacht Tour Dubai Marina

For a Dubai yacht rental on the marina, two operators board right on the waterfront. Xclusive Yachts is behind Al Majara Tower, a short walk from DMCC metro station by the route the listing describes: get off in front of Marina Mansion, cross at the pedestrian crossing and walk down the ramp next to the bridge. The Dutch Oriental dinner boat is about 0.2 km away, by my calculation from the Google Maps coordinates, in front of Pier 7. Dubai Marina Walk is about 1.6 km from the Xclusive base, so a walk along the promenade before or after your yacht tour is easy.

Sky Walker boards from Dubai Harbour, about 2.1 km from the Xclusive base by the same calculation, and the listing says parking costs AED 10 an hour. If you are driving, the Xclusive listing points to Marina Mall parking with 3 hours free. I’d pick the departure point that is easiest from your hotel, because the routes are close to each other.

How I’d Choose a Yacht Rental in Dubai

Whichever yacht rental in Dubai you choose, match it to your group size and budget:

• First visit: the Xclusive luxury yacht tour at $25 (4.7 from 22,295 reviews).
• Cheapest: the 360 Adventures sunset yacht at $21, with three departure times.
• A party: the superyacht at $126 with a DJ and swim time.
• A private boat: open the Sky Walker or 360 Adventures booking page and choose the private option.
• Dinner: the Mega Yacht dinner cruise at $82.

Every Dubai yacht rental ticket here allows free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start. If you want to compare yachts with speedboats, canal cruises and snorkeling days, see every Dubai boat trip I compared. For other cities, start at the Harbour Advisor home page.
