01Hourly Catamaran Charter Pricing Starts from Competitive Rates

Reserving a power catamaran in Dubai gives your group access to private space across two hulls at straight rates. Hourly prices range from AED 1,600 to AED 4,000 depending on the specific vessel selected from our 5 suitable options. Extending your time on the water allows the crew to cover longer distances while keeping the hourly breakdown consistent. Each price estimate given in your direct chat covers fuel costs, captain and crew service, and standard port usage. Guests looking ahead to festive holidays can book a charter with IYC for New Year's Eve well before peak dates. No hidden charges are added at the dock, allowing full focus on your planned gathering.

02What Inclusions and Onboard Amenities Come Standard?

Every catamaran rental off the coast of Dubai includes essential comforts to keep your party refreshed throughout the journey. Standard amenities feature complete air conditioning in lower living spaces, sunbeds on the bow, shaded outdoor tables, and integrated sound systems with Bluetooth connectivity. Complimentary ice, drinking water, and soft drinks are stocked prior to departure. To upgrade your afternoon, recreational extras and water toys like jet skis, flyboards, or paddle boards can be added through your manager. Guests may bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol, without paying any extra corkage fee. You can also request arranged catering or live DJ setups in advance.

03Cruising Duration Determines How Far You Travel Along the Coast

Choosing a two-hour itinerary allows time to sail out from Dubai Harbour toward Bluewaters and JBR before returning smoothly along the shoreline. A three or four-hour catamaran trip extends past Palm Jumeirah to highlight iconic landmarks like Atlantis The Palm and Burj Al Arab from the sea. Selecting five hours or longer gives your captain time to drop anchor near sheltered waters, allowing guests to swim, use towables, or enjoy an onboard BBQ. To reserve any route, simply tap the WhatsApp chat button on our site, share your requested date, total hours, and guest count, then complete your deposit via a secure online payment link.

04Which Fleet Capacity Fits Your Group Size Best?

Selecting the right catamaran in Dubai depends on your total guest count and layout preferences. Vessels ranging from 55-60 ft feature dual hulls that deliver excellent stability compared to monohull yachts, preventing unnecessary tipping while cruising. Our largest capacity vessels hold up to 45 guests comfortably across open decks and air-conditioned salon spaces. These wide twin-hull arrangements provide ideal layouts for private events and party charters, giving everyone plenty of room to mingle outside or stay cool inside air-conditioned cabins. Small self-drive electric catamarans exist in local harbors for couples, while our motor-powered vessels serve medium to large group gatherings under full crew guidance.

Essential facts

  1. What are the current hourly prices to rent a catamaran?

    Charter rates for power catamarans run from AED 1,600 to AED 4,000 per hour, depending on the specific size and vessel selected. This hourly charge covers fuel, crew service, and basic onboard refreshments like ice and water.

  2. How does a catamaran differ from a monohull motor yacht?

    Catamarans utilize two parallel hulls, creating wider deck spaces and superior lateral balance compared to single-hull motor yachts. This twin-hull structure reduces rolling motions on the water, offering a wide, comfortable platform for hosting up to 45 guests.

  3. Which onboard amenities are provided with a standard booking?

    Charters include full air conditioning, sound systems with Bluetooth, ice, soft drinks, and drinking water. Guests are welcome to bring their own food and alcoholic beverages without corkage fees. Additional water sports, catering, and entertainment can be arranged on request.

  4. Is it possible to schedule a short 2 or 3 hour charter?

    Yes, short charters of 2 or 3 hours are commonly booked. A 2-hour cruise is ideal for viewing nearshore sight lines around Bluewaters, while 3 hours allows time to sail past Palm Jumeirah and Burj Al Arab.

  5. Can we organise private celebrations or corporate functions on board?

    Yes, our largest vessels accommodate up to 45 guests for private birthdays, family gatherings, or company events. Every reservation is completely private to your group. We can arrange sound equipment, decorations, DJs, and catering upon request via chat.

  6. Are custom sailing routes and swimming stops permitted during the charter?

    Cruising routes are customized during booking or directly with your captain on board. If time permits—typically on trips of 3 or more hours—the captain can drop anchor in designated calm waters to let guests swim.

  7. Can children join the cruise and are safety vests provided?

    Children of all ages are welcome on board our private charters. Standard safety gear, including proper life jackets for adults and children, is carried on every vessel in our fleet to ensure safety throughout the cruise.

  8. Which coastal sights can guests view during the trip?

    Depending on your charter duration, you will see Ain Dubai on Bluewaters, JBR beachfront, Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis The Palm, and Burj Al Arab. Longer charters can navigate further toward the World Islands area.

  9. Where can small self-drive electric catamarans be found locally?

    Self-drive electric catamarans are small, two-person watercraft designed for personal harbor exploration without a crew. While available at select waterfront marinas, our fleet focuses on spacious motor-powered catamarans equipped with professional captains and crew.
