Yacht Rental Dubai Marina: Hourly Prices, Inclusions & Sizes
Rent Yachts Dubai runs private yacht charters from Dubai Marina, with a licensed captain and crew on every trip and rates published per hour on its website. The fleet runs from a 36 ft cruiser for ten people up to a 120 ft yacht for ninety, so one question matters more than any other when you book: how much boat do you actually need?

This guide walks through the real hourly prices listed on the site, what those prices include, and a simple way to match yacht size to your group and budget. If you are curious about the booking platform itself, you can read how we built the Rent Yachts Dubai website.
How yacht rental pricing works in Dubai Marina
Every listing on Rent Yachts Dubai shows a price per hour for the whole yacht, not per person. Almost all yachts have a two-hour minimum, and a few premium boats ask for more: the Ferretti 670 needs three hours, while the Riva Diva 82 and the Galeon 780 Crystal need four. To estimate the lowest cost of any trip, multiply the hourly rate by its minimum hours, then add any extras.
The entry point is AED 499 per hour for the 36 Ft Luxury Oryx Yacht, which makes a two-hour cruise from AED 998. At the other end, the Riva Diva 82 is listed at AED 8,999 per hour. The site also shows a currency switcher (AED, USD, EUR, GBP, SAR, RUB, INR and CNY), which helps visitors compare prices in their home currency before they message the team.
Choosing the right yacht size for your group
The site lists a maximum guest count for each boat, and that is the best starting point. Below is a quick size guide built from the published fleet, grouped by headcount.
| Group size | Example yachts | Max guests | AED per hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| Couples and small families | 36 Ft Luxury Oryx / 44 Ft Luxury Majesty / 48 Ft Golf Craft | 10 / 12 / 12 | 499 / 599 / 599 |
| 15 to 21 guests | 55 Ft Majesty / 56 Ft Majesty Luxury / 56 Ft Luxury Majesty | 15 / 20 / 21 | 700 / 749 / 799 |
| 25 to 30 guests | 70 Ft Majesty / 82 Ft Paradise with Jacuzzi / 72 Ft Luxury Amotea | 30 / 30 / 30 | 1,000 / 1,149 / 1,300 |
| 40 to 65 guests | 95 Ft Apolo / 90 Ft Bu Mubarak / 82 Ft San Lorenzo | 65 / 40 / 50 | 1,250 / 1,600 / 1,700 |
| Large events | 120 Ft Lafet / 110 Ft Kona | 90 / 85 | 3,200 / 4,500 |
| Premium small groups | Pershing 5X / Ferretti 780 | 8 / 20 | 3,500 / 6,099 |
Two things stand out. First, capacity and price do not always move together: the 95 Ft Apolo takes 65 guests at AED 1,250 per hour, while the 68 Ft Sura takes 15 guests at AED 1,500. Second, the premium end is about the brand and the ride, not the headcount. A Pershing 5X carries eight people, but it is a very different experience from a 44 ft cruiser with the same group.
A practical rule: book for your real guest list plus a little breathing room. A boat filled to its maximum feels busy once food, music and photos are added, so a group of 18 is often happier on a 20 to 25 guest yacht than on one rated for exactly 18.

What is included in the hourly price
According to the yacht rental page, every charter includes:
- A licensed captain and professional crew
- Fuel for the chosen route
- No boating licence needed on your side
- Flexible hourly and full-day options
Some listings also show onboard amenities. The 82 FT San Lorenzo, 72 FT Luxury Amotea and 62 FT Luxury Taka list speakers, soft drinks and air conditioning, while the 60 Ft Aquila lists speakers and soft drinks. If a listing shows no amenities, ask on WhatsApp before you confirm.
Extras are booked separately: jet ski and water sports, catering and drinks, event decoration, a sound system and DJ, plus catering menus and live BBQ on request. Birthday charters can be arranged with decorations, a sound system and catering, and the site also offers custom cakes for yacht celebrations.
Routes and departure points
The listed fleet sails from Dubai Marina, and the site also names Palm Jumeirah and Dubai Harbour (near Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai) as departure locations. The Sea Hunter 34ft fishing boat, for example, leaves from Dubai Harbour. Popular routes include a Dubai Marina and JBR cruise, Atlantis and Palm Jumeirah, a Burj Al Arab sunset charter and a deep-sea fishing trip. If you want more than one of these on the same trip, book extra hours and ask the team on WhatsApp which route fits your time.

Why visitors choose Rent Yachts Dubai
The main draw is transparency: a large fleet with hourly rates, capacities and minimum hours on the page, so you can compare a 499 dirham cruiser with a 3,500 dirham Pershing without waiting for a quote. Instalment plans on every listing make bigger yachts easier to budget for, and dedicated pages for birthdays, weddings, fishing and seasonal events help you plan the whole day, not just the boat.
