03Motor Fleet Options for Private Groups

Vessel choices cover 77 of our 88 yachts and boats across lengths of 40-164 ft, ensuring an appropriate craft for any private outing. Groups can arrange an Azimut or Sunseeker model suited for quiet gatherings or choose larger crafts accommodating gatherings up to 75 guests.

Every vessel in this fleet operates under motor power rather than sails, giving reliable schedules for coastal tours. Whether you need a craft for an intimate family cruise or a spacious deck for formal entertainment, our Dubai yacht hire matches your headcount. The entire boat remains private for your group, as we offer no shared cruises or individual per-person tickets on our Dubai departures.

04Can You Host an Event on Board?

Planning an anniversary, birthday gathering, or family reunion becomes straightforward across our wide selection of vessels. Large crafts provide expansive flybridges and open main salons capable of hosting events for up to 75 guests comfortably.

Private setups also cater to romantic wedding proposals, complete with fresh flowers and intimate dinner arrangements under evening skies. Corporate gatherings benefit from onboard audio systems and optional projector setups suitable for team presentations or client hosting. Every Dubai yacht celebration is coordinated individually to ensure your private deck layout suits the occasion.

05Which Water Sports Activities Are Available?

Anchoring in calm coastal areas allows guests to swim during daylight hours in quiet waters. The captain selects tranquil lagoons off Palm Jumeirah or near the coast where conditions remain peaceful for swimming.

Exciting water sports equipment can be added upon request through the manager. Options include jet skis for guests aged 18 and over, flyboards, paddle boards, towable banana tubes, and seabobs. Guests interested in sea angling can request fishing tackle and fresh bait, letting your group fish comfortably from the aft deck of your Dubai motor yacht.

06Optional Entertainment and Decor Add-ons

Personalising your deck space is simple with our range of optional event additions available on request. Zephyra can coordinate floral arrangements, custom balloon styling, and decorative banners tailored to match any celebration theme.

Music and visual coverage can also be upgraded through our coordinator. You can add a live DJ, enhanced sound gear, professional photographers, or drone filming to document the trip from the sky. We can also arrange private car transfers directly to the marina gate, ensuring smooth arrivals for your Dubai yacht cruise.

07Which Coastal Routes Can You Cruise?

Sailing schedules adapt entirely to your selected hours once you leave the marina berths. A standard two-hour tour takes guests along the shoreline past Bluewaters Island, Ain Dubai, and JBR, providing clear views of waterfront architecture.

Extending the trip to three hours allows the crew to circle Palm Jumeirah toward the outer crescent, passing Atlantis and Atlantis The Royal for open-water photography. Charters running four hours or more continue toward Burj Al Arab, the World Islands, and the entrance of Dubai Water Canal. The route stays flexible within your booked time on every motor yacht cruise.

08What Are Our Yacht Charter Rates?

Clear pricing ensures simple planning, with private rates running from AED 680 to AED 18,900 per hour depending on boat size. Charges apply to the whole boat rather than individual guest counts, keeping group costs predictable for your voyage.

Securing your time requires only a quick message via WhatsApp chat. A manager confirms the vessel and route, then sends a secure online card payment link for the deposit, with the balance settled before boarding. We operate no booking form on the website. This transparent structure supports every luxury boat charter rental departing our Dubai docks.

09Standard Charter Inclusions on Every Voyage

Charter fees cover the private vessel along with an experienced captain and attentive deck crew. Cruising fuel, fresh ice, chilled drinking water, and standard soft drinks remain available to all guests at no added charge.

Guests also enjoy onboard sound systems, comfortable seating areas, and fresh towels for time spent in the sun. You may bring your own food and drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage fee applied by the team. Relaxing on the water remains straightforward, and guests need no passport or ID to step aboard for any private Dubai yacht voyage.

10Catering and Onboard BBQ Arrangements

Dining arrangements remain flexible on every trip, allowing planners to design meals around personal tastes. Guests can bring their own groceries and refreshments, with the crew handling food presentation, dishware setup, and beverage service throughout the cruise.

Pre-ordered catering packages can also be arranged on request, featuring fresh fruit platters, canapés, or complete multi-course buffets. On yachts equipped with deck grills, live BBQ cooking is prepared by the crew while at anchor. These culinary extras are arranged directly in our chat ahead of your private Dubai yacht charter.

11Convenient Departure Berths at the Marina

Berthing directly in the modern basin gives our vessels quick deep-water access without bridge clearances or air-draft delays. Situated between Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters Island, the marina offers quick access to top coastal navigation channels.

Arrival logistics remain straightforward, featuring dedicated car parking near the pontoons alongside comfortable waiting lounges before embarkation. Quick boarding walkways allow your group to meet the crew and start sailing promptly. Choosing a Dubai yacht departure point here saves precious cruising time, directing your charter straight toward open coastal waters.
