Whole boat from AED 400 per hour
How much does yacht rental in Dubai cost?
Yacht rental in Dubai costs AED 400 to AED 600 per hour for the whole boat, depending on its size. You pay for the boat, not for each guest, so the price is the same for 2 guests or 12.
| Boat | Guests | Price | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 31ft mini-yacht | Up to 10 | From AED 400 per hour | Couples and small groups who want the lowest price |
| 46ft flybridge yacht | Up to 10 | From AED 575 per hour | Views from the upper deck, two cabins and two washrooms |
| 50ft yacht | Up to 12 | From AED 600 per hour | Larger groups, birthdays and an air-conditioned saloon |
| 50ft dinner cruise | Up to 12 | From AED 600 per hour | Dinner on deck with the marina lit up |
| Deep sea fishing | Up to 7 | From AED 1,430 for 4 hours | Fishing, with rods, bait and tackle provided |
| New Year’s Eve cruise | Up to 12 | From AED 30,000 for 6 hours | The fireworks from the water |
For a cheap yacht rental in Dubai, choose the 31ft. Rent the 46ft for the best views from its upper deck, and the 50ft for groups of up to 12. If you want to fish, book the fishing trip, which takes up to 7 guests.

What’s included in every yacht rental
Every rental includes a licensed captain and crew, fuel, unlimited drinking water, soft drinks, ice, and disposable utensils. One price, no hidden charges.
The 46ft and 50ft also have free Wi-Fi, a refrigerator and an electric BBQ grill. You can bring your own food and drinks at no extra charge, and the crew will cook the food you bring. If you would rather not bring anything, ask us to arrange catering and other food and drinks options when you book.
Private yacht rental in Dubai: the whole boat is yours
Every Sea King Yachts rental is private: the whole boat is yours, with no other guests on board and no shared decks.
We do not sell seats on a boat, and we are not a broker. We own and run our boats, and we are a licensed and insured UAE operator.
Our captains say the first question guests ask at the dock is “Where are we going?”, followed by whether they can play their own music, swim and use a cabin to change. You plan the route with the captain, connect your phone to the Bluetooth sound system, swim before sunset on longer trips and change in the cabin below deck. Many of our guests, especially women, value their privacy, and our crew gives them space without being asked.
A low price can mean a smaller boat, a seat on a shared trip or extras added later. Guests who have rented elsewhere tell us what went wrong most often: charges nobody mentioned, no free water or soft drinks, a boat that was hard to find, and a trip cut short because they arrived late. Ask about each of these before you pay for any Dubai yacht rental.
How long should I rent a yacht for?
You can rent the 31ft, 46ft and 50ft with no minimum number of hours. A 1-hour cruise reaches Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai, 2 hours brings the Burj Al Arab into view, and 3 hours adds Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis with a stop to swim.
Most groups choose a 2- to 4-hour yacht hire. Swimming is allowed before sunset only. The route for each charter length is on every boat’s page, but the route is flexible: tell your captain where you want to go, and they will plan it around your request, as long as the weather and the duration of your booking allow.
Is renting a yacht in Dubai worth it?
It is good value for a group, because one price covers everyone on board. For example, 12 guests on the 50ft for 3 hours pay AED 1,800 in total, which is AED 150 each.
It is also worth it for the privacy. The boat is yours alone, with no strangers on board, which makes it a favourite yacht rental for couples as well as groups, whether you are celebrating a birthday, an anniversary or a proposal, or just want time on the water with your friends and family.
Boarding at Dubai Marina and the route
All our boats leave from Dubai Marina, and we send you the exact meeting point before your trip. From the marina, the route runs past JBR Beach, Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah and Atlantis, and turns back at the Burj Al Arab.
Your captain also messages you before you board, so you are not left looking for the boat. Arrive 15 minutes before departure for check-in and the safety briefing.
- Dubai Marina Leave Dubai Marina and head down the canal past the towers
- JBR Beach The beachfront strip, best light in the late afternoon
- Ain Dubai Bluewaters Island and the tallest observation wheel in the world
- Palm Jumeirah The fronds of the island seen the way they were designed to be seen
- Atlantis The hotel at the tip of the Palm, with a swim stop if you want one
- Burj Al Arab The sail-shaped landmark, and the turning point of the route
- Back to Marina Return along the coast to the marina
Best time for a yacht rental in Dubai
Late afternoon is the most popular time, because a 5 PM departure reaches Palm Jumeirah around sunset. Mornings have the flattest water and the cleanest light for photographs.
Winter is our busiest season, and weekends, public holidays and school holidays fill first. Christmas and New Year are our busiest days of all. Sunset slots go first, so we recommend booking 3 to 5 days ahead, especially for weekends.
Can we bring food, drinks or a cake?
Yes. You can bring your own food and drinks at no extra charge, and on the 46ft and 50ft our crew can also cook your BBQ for you.
The grill is electric, so there is no need for charcoal, and nothing that burns is allowed on board, such as open flames or flares. Shisha is electric only, and we can arrange one on request. If you are planning a celebration, read our guides to a birthday on a yacht and a yacht party in Dubai.
Cancellations and late arrivals
Cancel up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund. If the captain cancels because of the weather, you get a full refund or a new date at no charge.
Feel free to send us a request, as you won’t be charged anything until we confirm your slot. And if you’re running late, don’t worry: just let us know, and if no trip follows yours, we’ll move the end time so you still enjoy your full trip.

Yacht rental FAQs
Have a question that isn’t here? Get in touch with our team, and we’ll be happy to help.
Not at all. Every rental comes with a licensed captain and crew who handle the boat for you, so you can sit back and enjoy the trip.
Of course, kids are welcome on board. Guests under 18 just need to be accompanied by an adult, and we have life jackets for every guest.
Most guests feel nothing, because the coastal route stays in calm, protected water. If you are prone to motion sickness, we recommend taking non-drowsy medication 30 minutes before you leave.
Wear light clothes, and expect to go barefoot: shoes, including heels, are not worn on board. Evenings on the water can be windy, especially in the winter months, so bring a light jacket.
