Yacht Rental Dubai Prices

The Yacht Broker Club publishes real hourly prices for 160 yachts for charter in Dubai, not estimates -- these are each yacht's own listed rate. Rates start from AED 349/hr for a compact day boat, and the median across the whole fleet is AED 4,500/hr, a figure pulled up noticeably by the superyachts at the top end, so the size breakdown below is a more realistic guide for most groups. Every price here is for the whole yacht, not per person: it's a private charter, and the entire boat, however many guests you bring within its own limit, is yours for the booking. Almost the whole fleet (157 of 160 yachts) departs from Dubai Marina. See the full Dubai yachts list to browse by name, or read on for prices broken down by size.

Prices by yacht size

Yacht size is the clearest single driver of price across our fleet. The table below groups all 160 priced yachts into four length bands, each with its guest range, hourly price range and typical minimum booking length -- plus two or three real examples you can look at directly.

What changes the price

Within a size band, a few things move the rate up or down. The main one is guest capacity: a 60-footer built for 10 guests and one built for 25 guests are priced differently even at a similar length, since more deck space and crew to manage a bigger group costs more to run. Minimum booking length matters too -- most yachts in our fleet require a minimum of 2 hours, but plenty of the larger boats need 4 hours and a few need 6, so a longer minimum on a bigger yacht is simply the floor, not a sign you're overpaying. About half the fleet -- 85 of the 160 yachts -- also offers a flat half-day or full-day rate as an alternative to paying by the hour, worth asking about if you already know roughly how long you want to be out. What's actually included in the price differs by yacht too, covered next.

What's included

Every price on this page includes the private yacht itself, a professional skipper and fuel -- this is a crewed charter across the whole fleet, never a bareboat rental, so nobody in your group needs a boating licence. Beyond that, what's included varies by yacht: just over half of our boats list exactly what's included, what's on board, and what's available as an extra directly on their own page, and we always confirm the full breakdown in writing before you pay. All of our listed rates are shown on the yacht's own page excluding 5% VAT, added separately -- we confirm this, along with everything else included, per yacht when you book. If your plans are built around a celebration rather than a straightforward charter, our party yacht rental page covers what that typically includes; for an evening on the water, see sunset yacht cruise.

How booking works

Booking works the same way across every yacht in this guide, from the smallest day boat to the largest superyacht; see the Dubai yacht charter page for the full picture of what we offer.
