Inside Dubai's Premium Yacht Rentals
Base Price vs. Hidden Charges – Know the Difference
Regardless of whether a yacht rental is priced AED 1500 or AED 15,000 per hour, you would automatically think that's what it costs. But like luxury hotels, the base price only gives you half the information.
The base charter price typically includes:
- Private use of the yacht for an agreed amount of time
- Services of the crew (captain and crew on board)
- Access to all facilities on board (cabins, saloons, sound systems)
- Light snacks or water
Depending on your rental agency and your package, however, additional charges may be included and these are what usually is involved in Dubai yacht amenities:
- Fuel (specifically for more extensive trips)
- Catering and gourmet meals
- Marina docking charges (if using top marinas)
- Water sport equipment or jet skis
- Premium beverages or special brand orders
Ensure to have these facts sorted out with your provider before booking, as it prevents surprises when the final bill comes due.
High Season vs. Low Season – Timing Impacts Pricing
Seasonal demand influences yacht tour Dubai. The peak season is October to April, when the weather is at its best. It usually coincides with New Year's, corporate events, and private events. It is likely that the prices will be 15–30% higher during this time, and yachts are booked months ahead.
Off-season, however particularly in the summer heat of peak season may be less expensive, with less tourist traffic and greater availability. To beat the heat take evening cruises and this is a viable means of saving while still having the full luxury experience.
What Comes with Luxury Yacht Rental in Dubai?
Unlike some global charter agreements that differ geographically (e.g., Caribbean versus Mediterranean), mostly all-inclusive yacht rental Dubai that you will find in the city are where customization can be done using an Advance Provisioning Allowance (APA).
Here's what comes with luxury yacht rental in Dubai usually:
1. Crew on Board
All yachts are manned by a professional crew, typically an authorized captain and service personnel. Their tasks comprise navigation, provision of food and drinks, serving guests, and taking care of your comfort and safety while aboard the cruise.
2. Refreshments
Some of the charters come complete with free water, ice, soft drinks, and disposable utensils. Some include light appetizers or courtesy trays. If you are in the mood, you can opt for full courses, seafood barbecue, or up-scale catering (at extra charge).
3. Luxurious Interiors
Expect luxury interiors with generous lounges, comfortable seating, climate control, and even private cabins. The bigger yachts like the Santorini (115 ft) offered by Beno offer five cabins and luxurious finishes, perfect for weddings or corporate events.
4. Water Activities
Some charters feature inflatable water toys, paddleboard, or snorkeling equipment usage. If more action is on your agenda, you can book jet ski exclusions in advance, banana boat rides, or even flyboard adventures, commonly booked by your charter company in a package deal.
5. Sound & Lighting Systems
Music makes the moment. Most yachts include top-of-the-range Bluetooth sound systems, LED lights, and karaoke equipment in some cases. Perfect for birthdays, proposals, or night sky dances.
