Yacht Party Rental in Dubai
Two different things get called a yacht party in Dubai. One is a ticket on a shared boat, priced per person and sold alongside other bookings on the same trip. The other is a private charter: the whole boat for your group alone, your own guest list, no set schedule to share with strangers. We only do the second, a private yacht rental for your party, not a seat on someone else's boat.

What's included in a private party charter
The sound system most people ask about first is already standard, along with the crew running the boat for the whole time you've booked it. What isn't included is worth knowing before you plan the rest of the day.

How many guests fit on a party charter?
It depends on the boat. Our fleet carries between 8 and 60 guests, and the largest by capacity is the Sky Walker Caliente, which carries up to 60 guests on 96 feet. Half of our fleet carries between 17 and 25 guests, which fits a mid-size private group comfortably.
One option worth knowing about is the Ozone, our catamaran at 55 feet: it carries up to 40 guests, well above most single-hull boats near that length, which mostly sit around 17 to 20. If deck space for a standing group matters more than cabins, that's the boat to ask about. At the other end, the Oryx Viktoriia at 46 feet and 12 guests suits a small, quieter group that wants the boat without the crowd.
How long do most party charters run?
Three to four hours, typically, though the minimum across the fleet is two. A group celebrating a birthday or a bigger event usually wants time to settle in, eat and actually use the boat, not just cruise past the view once and head back.
The rate is hourly beyond the two-hour minimum, so a longer charter costs proportionally more rather than jumping to a separate pricing tier. If you're not sure how long to book, tell us the occasion and headcount and we'll suggest a duration based on what similar groups have needed.
Where do party charters depart from?
Eighteen of our 20 yachts, including the largest, dock at Dubai Harbour. From the water you're on the same stretch of coast as Palm Jumeirah, with Bluewaters, Ain Dubai and Atlantis in view and Burj Al Arab visible further along the shoreline.
We don't publish routes or timings between those landmarks. We haven't measured them and won't guess. What we do instead is confirm the plan with the captain once you're aboard, inside your booked hours, so the route matches what your group actually wants to see.
What do we need to arrange ourselves?
Food, alcohol, decoration and water sports. All four sit outside the base rate across the fleet, so if any of them are part of the plan, factor them in separately when you're budgeting for the day. The sound system, ice, towels and soft drinks are already included, whatever you bring on top of that.
Most groups sort catering and drinks themselves and bring them aboard, or ask us to point them to a supplier we've worked with before. Decoration works the same way: nothing is set up by default, so a themed party needs its own plan alongside the boat itself. Tell us what you're arranging and we'll confirm what's realistic on the boat you've picked.
If you're still weighing a per-person ticket on a shared boat against booking the whole one, our guide comparing yacht party tickets and private rental breaks down the price and privacy trade-off in more detail.

FAQ
- What's the difference between a shared yacht party and a private charter?
- A shared party is a ticket sold per person on a boat that also carries other bookings, usually on a fixed schedule. A private charter books the entire boat for your group only, with no other guests aboard, and you set the plan within your booked hours.
- How many guests can we bring?
- It depends on the yacht: our fleet ranges up to 60 guests on the largest boat. Tell us your group size and we'll match you with a yacht that fits, or a larger partner boat if your headcount is bigger than what we run.
- Is alcohol or a DJ set-up allowed onboard?
- Alcohol isn't included and is arranged separately, same as food. A sound system is standard on board, so you can run your own playlist through it without bringing extra equipment or a DJ booth of your own.
- What's the minimum booking?
- Two hours, same as the rest of the fleet. Most parties book three to four hours once the group sees how much time it actually takes to get everyone settled and moving.
- Do we need to book further ahead for a big group?
- Yes, if you're near our largest boat's capacity: only one yacht in the fleet carries up to 60 guests, so that boat sells out faster for a given date. Smaller groups have more boats to choose from and more flexibility on timing.
