Charter a private yacht in Dubai — your own boat, your own captain, your own route. Dubriani runs 73+ private yachts from 5 marinas across Dubai, from two-hour Marina cruises to full-day island trips and overnight charters, rated 9.1/10 by 1,600+ guests. Yachts from AED 1,800 per hour, fully crewed — 4-hour Palm Jumeirah trips from AED 2,700.
Why private beats a shared tour
On a shared tour you buy a seat; on a private charter you own the day. The schedule is yours — leave when you want, stay anchored as long as you like, play your own music, and share the deck with your people only. Families, proposals, birthdays and corporate groups don’t want an audience. If you’ve been comparing shared yacht tours in Dubai, price the private option first: for groups of 8 or more it’s often closer than the per-seat math suggests.

Palm Jumeirah & Atlantis — 3–4 hours
Around the Palm’s crescent with a swim stop in calm water, Atlantis and Burj Al Arab views, catering on board. The most-booked family and celebration route.

Most charters can be arranged within 24 hours; peak season (November–January) books out earlier.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private yacht charter in Dubai?
From AED 1,800 per hour for a fully crewed 40–55 ft yacht. Price depends on yacht size, duration and season — WhatsApp us for a same-day quote.
Is the whole yacht really private?
Yes. Every Dubriani charter is the entire vessel for your group only — never shared seats.
Can we bring our own food and drinks?
Yes, or let us arrange catering — from platters to private chefs. Alcohol is permitted on board; see the guide.
What happens in bad weather?
If there is bad weather on the day of your charter, we reschedule for another day at no additional fee.
Can I cancel my booking?
Yes — our flexible cancellation policy: any experience can be cancelled and fully refunded within 24 hours of purchase, or at least 14 days before the experience starts.
Do children need life jackets?
Life jackets in all sizes are on board every yacht; the crew briefs all guests before departure. Children are welcome on family charters.
How far in advance should we book?
48 hours is comfortable most of the year; for November–January weekends and New Year’s Eve, book weeks ahead.
