Motor Yacht and Catamaran Fleet Types

Charterers often ask to explore traditional canvas boats, yet we charter motor yachts and power catamarans engineered specifically for reliable gulf passage. Among our vessels, 77 of our 88 total crafts provide smooth engine propulsion rather than sails, ensuring stable speeds regardless of shifting afternoon breezes. Dimensions range from nimble 40 ft hulls up to commanding 164 ft builds. For intimate family trips or social reunions, our largest capacity accommodates up to 75 guests comfortably across wide open decks. Each craft features open sunbeds, shaded aft lounges, and spacious stern platforms designed for resting over the water. Selecting the right vessel combines spacious leisure layouts with practical deck comfort across regional waterways. You will find that yacht rental prices in Dubai remain transparent across these multiple sizes without hidden platform surcharges or complex tier structures. During calm afternoons, water sports and leisure activities such as seabob runs or jet ski outings can be arranged easily alongside your selected vessel.

Where Do Departures and Boarding Take Place?

Embarking on your private cruise happens smoothly from premier maritime hubs located across the city. Khor Yachting operates primarily from dedicated berths situated within Dubai Marina and deep-water pontoons at Dubai Harbour. Both locations offer direct walking access, sheltered boarding piers, and prompt gangway assistance from marina hands. Arriving roughly fifteen minutes prior to your contracted departure hour allows the captain to welcome everyone aboard and complete preliminary safety briefings without delaying line handling. You will appreciate that stepping aboard requires minimal fuss, as no passport or identity document is asked for at boarding. Taking your group through Dubai Harbour yacht rental docks puts your vessel mere minutes away from expansive gulf waterways. Whether your party plans an unhurried afternoon of marina sailing or an extended excursion towards open water, departing from these central locations guarantees immediate waterway access without navigating congested commercial fairways or dealing with lengthy dockside queues.

Crewed Private Charter Cruise Formats

Every reservation with our team is conducted on a fully private basis, dedicating the entire vessel exclusively to your company without outside ticket holders. We charter motor yachts and power catamarans, ensuring dependable mechanical propulsion overseen by a licensed captain and professional deckhands. Our maritime crew manages line handling, route tracking, and dock maneuvers so your party can focus entirely on leisure. Formats adapt easily to your timeframe, offering hourly rental choices, half-day coastal circuits, full-day charters, or extended evening cruises. Guests can stop for a refreshing swim in designated sheltered coves during daytime hours, utilizing convenient aft ladders to step into calm open water. Whether choosing a 40 ft cruiser for an intimate afternoon or our flagship 164 ft vessel carrying our largest capacity of 75 guests, you receive undivided attention from your dedicated onboard team throughout the journey.

Can You Organize Private Celebration Setups?

Hosting a personal anniversary, business mixer, or landmark birthday on the water requires thoughtful deck preparation. Our team coordinates bespoke arrangements through our direct chat channel ahead of your scheduled departure. Having the yacht decorated before you arrive is available from AED 350, creating a festive atmosphere across main salons and flybridges. For celebratory moments, a celebration cake brought on board starts from AED 250 upon request. Professional event photography can also be coordinated, with a dedicated photographer on board starting from AED 500 per hour to document your voyage against the city skyline. Corporate groups frequently configure deck spaces for product launches using modern audio setups, projectors, and private sound systems. Couples marking an anniversary can have romantic candles and flowers set up on deck starting from AED 400. From casual family gatherings to formal corporate networking afternoons, our staff tailors every deck detail so that each hosted event runs according to plan.

Payment Terms and Clear Charter Rates

Financial arrangements remain simple and upfront for every voyage along the Persian Gulf coast. Base rates range from AED 680 to AED 18,900 per hour depending entirely on the vessel scale you select. Every figure presented by our team is the total amount owed, with local value added tax already incorporated into the calculation. Once your itinerary, boat model, and optional additions are agreed upon inside the WhatsApp conversation, our manager provides a secure online credit card link. The charter holds firm the moment your 30 % deposit clears through this card transaction. Settling the outstanding balance happens before your party boards the vessel on departure day. We also provide clear protection against stormy marine conditions, ensuring that foul weather is not the guest's loss because the outing gets shifted to another calendar date or the funds are promptly returned. Reviewing the terms for private yacht charter in Dubai ensures full clarity before setting out from the local docks.

Which Dubai Landmark Routes Are Available?

Navigating past world-famous coastal sights offers remarkable perspectives from the water. Cruising outward from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour quickly brings your party alongside Bluewaters Island and the impressive wheel of Ain Dubai. A two-hour journey provides ample time to round the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, opening unobstructed views of Atlantis The Palm and the grand architecture of Burj Al Arab. Guests chartering for four hours or more can cruise onward toward the protected waters of Dubai Water Canal, gliding under contemporary bridges and beholding the distant towers of Downtown. Regarding the best seasons and cruising times, the cooler months between October and April deliver pleasant daytime breezes and clear afternoon horizons. Regardless of whether you book a brief skyline loop or an extensive coastal voyage, your captain navigates smoothly past these renowned architectural wonders, giving everyone ample leisure time to photograph the monuments from sun decks.

Onboard Catering and Open Dining Arrangements

Dining over coastal waters can be adapted entirely to your personal tastes and hosting preferences. Groups seeking a turnkey culinary experience can arrange a full dinner served on board starting from AED 250 per guest, prepared and presented directly across outdoor tables. If you prefer a relaxed deck barbecue, our team can arrange complete grilling menus and attentive stewards on request. Alternatively, bringing your own food, soft drinks or alcohol is allowed and free of charge, with zero corkage fees or service penalties imposed on your party. Galley refrigeration, counter space, and ice bins remain at your disposal throughout the contracted hours. Guests are welcome to carry their favorite refreshments, vintage wines, or celebration platters straight onto the boat. Whether you desire an elaborate multi-course menu prepared by culinary staff or prefer unpacking personal picnic baskets in the shaded cockpit, onboard dining remains completely adaptable to your group's exact schedule and dietary wishes.

Which Onboard Inclusions Accompany Each Voyage?

Every scheduled cruise incorporates dedicated crew support to manage line handling and navigation from the minute your gathering arrives at the dock. Rather than worrying about vessel operations, people can unwind while a certified captain guides the journey across the waterfront. We include marine propulsion fuel and standard boat amenities directly inside the charter quotation. Refreshing drinking water and ice bins are stocked ready in the galley without extra invoicing. Guests can also arrange targeted services through our team prior to departure. Anglers can request rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150 to cast lines along open marine corridors. If your group lands a catch, having your catch cooked on board costs AED 150 through our galley staff. These inclusions keep daily logistics straightforward for everyone stepping aboard. Reserving a vip yacht rental in Dubai means enjoying comprehensive support where safety guidelines and smooth coastal cruising are managed entirely by our professional maritime crew.
