How Much Does It Cost per Person?
Because you pay for the whole yacht, the cost per guest drops as your group grows. For a 2-hour trip with the yacht full:
| Yacht | Guests | Cost per guest (2 hours) |
|---|---|---|
| 36 Ft Luxury Oryx | 10 | about AED 100 |
| 56 Ft Majesty | 17 | about AED 76 |
| 70 Ft Majesty | 30 | about AED 57 |
| 95 Ft Apolo | 45 | about AED 111 |
| 120 Ft Lafet | 100 | about AED 66 |
For a group of 20 or more, a larger yacht is often better value per head than two small ones.

How to Get the Best Value
- Match the yacht to your guest count — don’t pay for 30 seats if you have 12 guests.
- Start with 2 hours for the Marina and JBR; add a third hour only if you want Ain Dubai and the Palm.

What Changes the Price?
- Yacht size and guest limit — the biggest factor. Bigger yachts cost more per hour but less per guest.
- Number of hours — every hour is charged at the same rate. The minimum is 2 hours (3 hours for weddings, 4 hours for fishing trips).
- Package or standard charter — birthday and party packages add decoration and a cake to the yacht price.
- Extras — decoration and themes from AED 150 up to AED 20,000, a photographer (AED 700), a limousine pick-up (AED 800), a jet ski (AED 500 per hour) or food from a buffet to a chef on board.
