What's included in a yacht charter in Dubai?

A private charter price normally includes the yacht, a licensed captain and crew, fuel for standard cruising routes, marina fees, and basics like water and soft drinks. Catering, decorations, water sports and premium drinks are usually paid add-ons. Yacht bookings on our site are enquiry-based โ€” the partner supplier confirms the exact inclusions for your date and group before you pay anything.

What's in the standard price

  • The vessel itself, with a licensed captain and crew
  • Fuel for normal cruising routes
  • Marina fees
  • Water and soft drinks on board

Common paid extras

Catering and BBQ setups, decorations for birthdays or proposals, jet skis and water toys, and a photographer are the usual add-ons. Ask for these in your enquiry so the supplier can itemise them in one quote rather than surprising you on the day.

Private boat or shared cruise?

Private charters are priced per boat, per hour โ€” the more friends aboard, the cheaper each head. Shared cruises are sold per person and suit couples or small groups who don't need the whole deck. Typical private routes take in Dubai Marina, Palm Jumeirah and the Burj Al Arab loop.

How the enquiry works

Tell us your date, group size and any extras you want. The partner supplier confirms a vessel, itemises exactly what's included, and you only pay once you're happy with the details. More charter questions are answered in luxury & experiences help.
