Minimum charter length and availability vary by yacht and season - message us and we will confirm both before you pay anything.
What the hourly rate covers
The rate is for the whole yacht, not per seat, and it includes the crew, the fuel and the equipment on board. It excludes 5% VAT. Catering, watersports and decoration are quoted separately. The minimum charter is 3 hours, longer on some yachts. A fixed AED 750 deposit holds the date, or you can pay 25%, 50% or 100% upfront; on bookings of AED 10,000 or more departing within 3 days the deposit is a share of the total. Cancel 7 or more days ahead for a full refund of the yacht, or from 48 hours to 6 days ahead for 50%; within 48 hours there is no refund. Catering and other added services are non-refundable once ordered.
What a yacht costs per guest
Divide each yacht's hourly rate by the guests it is licensed to carry and the fleet median is AED 60 per guest per hour. A full day of 8 hours works out at about AED 333 per guest. You still book the whole yacht - nobody sells seats - but this is the number to compare against a restaurant or a venue.
Longer charters cost less per hour
A short booking is the most expensive way to buy an hour. The median hourly rate across the fleet is AED 2,300, while the median 8-hour day comes to about AED 3,625 an hour. A full 24 hours starts at AED 4,500 and the median is AED 16,500.
Why 150 ft from one company is not 150 ft from another
Charter names are marketing, not measurements. We measured the hulls of 129 yachts in this table, and on 109 of them the catalogue name is bigger than the boat. Compare rates by measured length, otherwise you are comparing a number someone chose with a number someone measured.
