Yacht Rental in Dubai: Prices, What's Included, and How to Book
By Jyrki Jaamaa, Managing Director3 min read
Renting a yacht in Dubai is simpler than most people expect. A crewed luxury yacht rents from about AED 1,700 per hour with JJ Marine, captain and crew included; bigger yachts are priced per day from about AED 32,500, and you need no license because every rental comes fully crewed. Here is what the price covers, where the boat can take you, and how booking works.
How much does it cost to rent a yacht in Dubai?
Rental is priced by the hour for day trips and by the day or week for larger yachts. As a working guide from our own fleet:
| Yacht | Guide price | | --- | --- | | Azimut Magellano 43 | From AED 1,700 / hour | | Azimut Magellano 66 | From AED 3,000 / hour | | Majesty 101 | From AED 32,500 / day, plus expenses | | M/Y Grayzone (Mediterranean) | From EUR 125,000 / week, plus expenses |
The rate rises with the size of the yacht, the season and the length of the trip. Most private rentals run two to four hours; sunset slots in the cooler months book out first. See the current charter fleet for each yacht's details.
What is included in the price?
A rental with us always includes the professional captain and crew, fuel for the standard cruising area, and full use of the yacht: the decks, the cabins, the sound system, and the swimming stops. Catering, premium drinks, a photographer or decorations for an occasion are arranged separately, and we handle all of it in one conversation on WhatsApp.
Where can the yacht go?
The classic Dubai rental route leaves Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, passes the Marina skyline and Bluewaters with Ain Dubai, rounds Palm Jumeirah, and holds position for photographs with Atlantis or Burj Al Arab behind you before a swimming stop in calm water. Longer rentals can continue toward the World Islands or the Burj Khalifa skyline. Your captain will shape the route around the sea state and what you want from the day.
Renting for an occasion
Birthdays, anniversaries, proposals and company events are the most common reasons people rent. The right yacht depends on the guest count: our Magellano 43 suits intimate groups, the Magellano 66 hosts larger parties in comfort, and the Majesty 101 takes up to 50 guests for events. Tell us the date, the number of guests and the occasion, and we will propose the boat, the route and the catering in one reply.
Renting versus owning
If you are on the water more than a handful of weekends a season, ownership starts to make sense, and rental is the best possible sea trial for it. Our guide to renting versus buying covers the maths, and because we sell and manage yachts as well as renting them, we can tell you honestly which side of the line you are on.
How booking works
Message us on WhatsApp with the date, the number of guests and the occasion. We confirm the yacht, the route and the full price in writing, with nothing hidden. As the official Jeanneau dealer in Dubai with four decades on the water, we run our own fleet from Vida Dubai Marina & Yacht Club, so you are dealing with the operator, not a broker.
