Why Choose a Yacht Under 60 ft
- The best price for a private yacht in Dubai.
- Big enough to celebrate — up to 21 guests on the 56 ft Majesty.
- Covers the main sights in 2 hours: the Marina, JBR, Ain Dubai, the Palm and Atlantis.
- Great for first-timers — see our beginner tips.
How to Choose
- 2–10 guests: the 36 ft Oryx.
- Up to 12: the 44 ft Majesty or 48 ft Gulf Craft — more deck space.
- Up to 15: the 50 ft Majesty or 55 ft Integrity.
- Up to 21: the 56 ft Majesty — the largest under 60 ft.
Tip: if you plan to dance or have a buffet, choose one size up.

What a Small Yacht Costs per Person
You pay for the whole yacht, not per seat, so the more guests you bring, the lower the share for each person. This is what a 3-hour trip works out to when the yacht is full:
| Yacht | Guests | 3 hours | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 Ft Luxury Oryx | 10 | 3 × AED 499 = AED 1,497 | about AED 150 |
| 44 Ft Luxury Majesty | 12 | 3 × AED 599 = AED 1,797 | about AED 150 |
| 50 Ft Majesty | 15 | 3 × AED 649 = AED 1,947 | about AED 130 |
With fewer guests the price of the yacht stays the same, so a couple on the 36 ft Oryx still pays AED 998 for 2 hours.
A Sample 2-Hour Route
- 0:00 Board at Dubai Marina, meet the captain and get a short safety briefing.
- 0:15 Cruise out through the Marina canal between the towers.
- 0:35 Pass the JBR beachfront and slow down near Ain Dubai for photos.
- 0:55 Follow the outer crescent of the Palm Jumeirah.
- 1:30 Head back along the coast with the Marina skyline ahead of you.
Book 3 hours if you want a swim stop in a designated area, or 4 hours to add the Burj Al Arab view.
