Every booking is the hourly rate × the hours you choose, with no hidden extras for longer trips. See every yacht in our yacht rental price guide.

2 hours: the classic Dubai route

The most booked option and the minimum for any yacht. You leave Dubai Marina, cruise along the JBR beachfront to Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island, continue to the Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis The Palm and come back. It is ideal for a first trip, a sunset cruise or a birthday cake moment on deck.

  • Best for: sightseeing, sunset, couples, short celebrations.
  • Not enough for: swimming, fishing or a full meal.

3 hours: add a swim stop

One more hour changes the pace. You can stop to swim in a designated area or near the islands, weather permitting, and still see the whole route. It is also the minimum for wedding charters. Food can be added from 12 PM, so a 3-hour midday trip works well with lunch on board.

  • Best for: families, swimming, lunch, relaxed groups.

4 hours and more: fishing and water sports

Fishing trips are booked for at least 4 hours (from AED 1,500 on the 36 Ft Oryx fishing boat). On a regular yacht, 4 hours gives time for a swim, water sports such as a jet ski (AED 500 per hour, until 6 PM) and a meal. Read our fishing trip prices.

Full day (8 hours): big days on the water

A full day lets you go further, towards The World islands, with several swim stops, water sports and lunch on board. It suits corporate days, family reunions and big birthdays. You book it on the yacht page like any other trip: choose the start time and 8 hours.

  • Tip: start in the morning; water sports run until 6 PM and the light is best before sunset.
