How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Dubai?

Approximate prices:

  • Small motorboat (up to 6 passengers) per hour: from 500 AED (about 135 USD)
  • Medium motor yacht (up to 10 passengers) for 3 hours: from 2000 AED (about 545 USD)
  • Luxury yacht (more than 10 passengers) per day: from 10,000 AED (about 2725 USD)

The cost of renting a yacht in Dubai can greatly depend on many factors. Here are the main ones:

  • Yacht size and type: Small motorboats are cheaper than large luxury yachts or catamarans.
  • Rental duration: The longer the rental period, the higher the total cost. Renting for an hour or several hours will be significantly cheaper than for a day or several days.
  • Season: In October-April, yacht rental prices are usually higher than out of season (May-September).
  • Additional services: Captain and crew, catering (food and drinks), entertainment (water skiing, wakeboarding, fishing, etc.) increase the rental price.
  • The lessor company: prices may vary from company to company.

The Council:

  • Determine your budget and desired yacht parameters in advance.
  • Compare prices from different companies and read reviews.
  • Specify what expenses are included in the rental price.

Dubai is a city where futuristic dreams become reality.

Walking along the Dubai Mall, you can get lost among more than 1,200 shops, and then suddenly stumble upon a giant aquarium with sharks and rays. If you are tired of the gloss and glitter, visit the historic district of Al Fahidi, where narrow streets and traditional coral stone houses take you back in time. And in the evening, it's worth going to the Dubai Fountain, which puts on an exciting show of water, light and music.
