Luxury charter
Luxury yacht charter in Dubai
Luxury yacht charter in Dubai starts at AED 3,200 per hour for an 85ft yacht carrying up to 35 guests, with a crew of five, four cabins and a jacuzzi on the sun deck. Above that size we charter in from partner fleets (100ft and 35m boats included) with a week's notice.

Past about 70ft a charter stops being a boat trip and starts being a venue. There is a formal dining table, a galley a chef can actually work in, cabins people use during the day, and enough crew that nobody in your party has to think about anything. That is the difference you are paying for, more than the length on the brochure.
Our own top boat is an 85ft Benetti: four cabins, dining for eighteen inside, a sun deck with a jacuzzi, and five crew including a host whose whole job is your guests. It carries thirty-five people comfortably and has run weddings, brand launches and a fair number of birthdays.
For a 100ft, a 120ft or a 35m we go outside our own fleet. Those boats exist in Dubai and we charter them regularly, but they are booked further ahead and priced per charter rather than per hour. Give us the date, the headcount and roughly what the day is for, and we will come back with two or three real options and what each costs.
What is included
- Four cabins, air-conditioned saloon and formal dining for eighteen
- Sun-deck jacuzzi and a full-width swim platform
- Crew of five, briefed on your schedule before boarding
- Onboard chef and bar service by arrangement
- Filming, brand shoots and drone work permitted with notice
Worth knowing
- Guest numbers are capped by the vessel licence, not by deck space. Thirty-five means thirty-five.
- Catering, DJs, florists and photographers are arranged through us or brought by you; both are normal.
- For a superyacht in peak season, December through February, three weeks' notice is realistic, not one.
What a luxury yacht charter in Dubai buys, and what it does not
The step from the 62ft to the 85ft is not really about length. It buys thirteen more guest places, a fourth cabin, two more crew including a host whose entire job is looking after guests, a sun-deck jacuzzi, formal dining for eighteen, and a galley a chef can genuinely work in.
The number that decides most bookings is not the hourly rate but the minimum charter. The 62ft has a three-hour minimum and the 85ft a four-hour one, so the smallest booking you can make goes from AED 4,200 to AED 12,800. That is a factor of three on the entry price, not the factor of two the hourly rates suggest.
What it does not buy is a better afternoon for a group of twenty. Twenty guests spread across an 85ft feel sparse and cost AED 640 each; the same twenty on the 62ft feel like a party and cost AED 255. Size earns its money when the guest list genuinely needs it, or when the boat is meant to be the venue rather than the transport.
The fifth crew member
The most underrated difference at this size is staffing. On the 62ft a crew of three are busy running the boat. On the 85ft, with five, somebody is free to notice that a glass is empty, that a guest has been in the sun too long, or that the speeches are about to start.
For client hosting, a wedding or a launch, that is what people register afterwards — more reliably than the length, the jacuzzi or the specification. It is also the reason this boat gets booked for events where the schedule matters: a crew of five can run a timetable while still driving the boat.
Above 85ft
Boats of 100ft and 35m are chartered in from partner fleets with about a week's notice, priced individually rather than from a rate card. They berth at Dubai Harbour rather than in the Marina, because the Marina channel cannot take them, which changes your boarding point and your parking.
One thing worth knowing before you ask: the licensed guest number does not keep rising with length. Capacity comes from the vessel's certification, and most 100ft and 35m boats here are still licensed for around thirty-five to fifty. If the problem you are solving is a guest list rather than a specification, a longer boat may not solve it, and above about fifty guests the honest answer is a private dhow.

From AED 3,200 per hour for an 85ft yacht carrying up to 35 guests, which works out at AED 12,800 for the four-hour minimum. Boats of 100ft and above are quoted per charter and typically start around AED 6,000 per hour.
What is the biggest yacht available to charter in Dubai?
Our own fleet tops out at 85ft. Above that we charter in from partner fleets, where 100ft, 120ft and 35m yachts are available in Dubai with a week or two of notice.
How many guests can a luxury yacht in Dubai take?
Thirty-five on our 85ft. Larger charter boats carry between 40 and 100 guests depending on the vessel licence. The licensed number is a hard limit and includes children.
Is there a yacht with a jacuzzi in Dubai?
Yes: our 85ft has a jacuzzi on the sun deck, filled and running before you board. Most boats over 90ft in Dubai have one as standard.
Can we have a chef on board?
Yes. On the 85ft we arrange a chef and a bar service by request, working from a menu agreed in advance. Smaller boats in the fleet have a fridge and ice but no galley crew, so catering comes aboard prepared.
