What Are the Hourly Charter Guidelines for Short Trips?

Private motor vessels across our fleet let groups take quick coastal cruises without committing to full-day excursions. A short trip gives you complete privacy on the water, whether you want an afternoon outing or want to catch the best sailing times and sunset slots across the water.

Prices for our craft range from AED 680 to AED 18,900 per hour, and all quoted figures already include VAT with no hidden extras added later. For those seeking a cheap yacht rental in Dubai Marina, our collection of 77 suitable boats out of our 88 vessels provides transparent yacht rental prices across every size category.

Every voyage is an entirely private booking for your group rather than a shared ticketed tour, giving you full run of the flybridge, lounge, and deck spaces. Whether you select a compact 40 ft motor boat or a larger craft, our staff handles all vessel preparations before you step aboard.

Bringing your own food, snacks, and beverages is welcome on any trip, and we never charge a corkage fee for outside drinks or alcohol. Your group can relax in air-conditioned comfort, play music, and take in the skyline without any unexpected extra fees at the end of the trip.

Checking vessel availability for an hourly voyage is straightforward through our messaging service. Our team coordinates every detail of your short cruise, ensuring your motor yacht is ready for departure right on schedule.

Which Cruising Routes Can You Select for Your Voyage?

Customizing your navigation path is part of the private charter experience across our entire motor fleet. Departing from either Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina places you immediately alongside the most famous waterfront developments on the coast.

A typical two-hour voyage takes your party past Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai before cruising along JBR and the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Guests enjoy clear perspectives of Atlantis The Palm and the striking skyline from the open sea.

Reviewing the best yachting routes in Dubai with your captain allows you to focus on sightseeing, relaxed drifting, or photography. The crew adjusts cruising speeds to match your preferences, whether you want an active tour or a calm drift.

Shorter itineraries provide ample time to take scenic photos against world-famous architectural backdrops while enjoying drinks on deck. Your captain ensures the boat reaches key landmarks efficiently before returning smoothly to your departure berth.

Discussing your preferred landmarks during booking ensures the captain maps out the most scenic path for your group. Enjoy unobstructed coastal views on a tailored cruise designed around your specific interests.

Which Fleet Options Fit Larger Guest Capacity Groups?

Choosing the right vessel depends on your group size, celebration style, and desired deck layout for the outing. Our fleet features 77 suitable boats out of our 88 vessels, with lengths spanning 40 to 164 ft to accommodate various party requirements.

Mid-size motor yachts from 40 to 65 ft provide comfortable lounge spaces and sun decks for family outings and small gatherings. For larger company events, wedding parties, or celebrations, our biggest vessels offer a maximum capacity of 75 guests with expansive multi-level decks.

Every vessel in our fleet is fully motor-powered, and all catamarans we operate are power catamarans designed for steady cruising. These wide platforms offer excellent stability on the water, giving large groups plenty of room to mingle and enjoy refreshments.

Additional event enhancements can be arranged smoothly for large gatherings, including DJ equipment, live music, and presentation sound systems. Your manager can also arrange private car transfers directly to the marina berths for added travel convenience.

Whether hosting an intimate gathering or a large company function, Khor Yachting provides well-maintained vessels tailored to your numbers. Contact our team to match your guest count with the ideal motor yacht.

Essential Guest Guidelines and Boarding Details

Stepping onto your private vessel is a quick and smooth process designed to get your group onto the water without delays. Our departure berths at Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina offer straightforward access points where our crew greets your party.

Nobody checks passports or IDs when guests come aboard, making check-in simple and relaxed for everyone in your group. You can arrive with your family and friends, meet the crew at the dock, and step directly onto the yacht.

A customary barefoot policy applies across our vessels to maintain clean deck surfaces and protect high-grade salon flooring. Shoe baskets are provided right at the gangway so guests can safely store their footwear before moving around the deck.

Children of all ages are welcome on board, and our crew supplies appropriately sized life vests for younger guests. The spacious layouts on our motor yachts provide secure seating areas where families can relax comfortably during coastal navigation.

Arriving a few minutes ahead of your scheduled departure time ensures that all guests and personal items are settled before casting off. Our crew helps load bags, chill drinks, and orient your party before starting the engines.

Exciting Add-on Activities and Water Toys

Active watersports can easily be incorporated into your itinerary when scheduled in advance through our charter team. Adding water toys turns a scenic cruise into an energetic adventure across designated calm lagoons along the coast.

Thrill seekers can request jet ski sessions, flyboard experiences, seabob scooters, and towable banana rides, all arranged through authorized operators. Please note that jet ski drivers must be 18+ to operate the craft under local water safety regulations.

Calm water activities like stand-up paddle boarding and snorkelling with supplied gear offer relaxed alternatives for families and small groups. If you want to try coastal angling, we can provide rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150.

Capturing these action-packed moments is simple with our professional media add-ons. We can arrange an experienced photographer on board from AED 500 per hour, as well as drone filming upon request to document your entire trip.

Organizing these extra sports ahead of time ensures all specialized equipment is loaded and ready before cast-off. Let your charter manager know your preferred water activities during your initial chat to secure the gear.

How Advance Deposits and Booking Steps Work

Securing your preferred time slot requires only a direct message through our website chat button between 9:00 and 23:00 GST. Our managers respond within 15 minutes to review vessel sizes, check calendar availability, and discuss any special add-on services your party desires.

Paying 30% up front locks the date and reserves your selected vessel immediately. Unpaid dates are not held, so settling the initial payment promptly ensures no other party takes your desired departure slot for that day.

Your manager will send a secure online payment link for card payment once you agree on the yacht and itinerary details. The remaining charter balance is then settled before boarding at the marina, keeping check-in simple and stress-free for your group.

Weather and cancellation policies are fair and transparent for all our guests. If poor maritime conditions prevent safe cruising, you can pick a reschedule date or receive a full refund at your choice, ensuring zero risk when planning ahead.
