How Can You Customize Catering Choices for Dining?

Every private voyage across the coast allows complete freedom when planning your evening meal. Guests can order bespoke food arrangements directly through our management team before stepping on board. Freshly prepared dinner served on board starts from AED 250 per guest, featuring multi-course menus or live cooking stations with outdoor BBQ grills built right into the open deck. If you prefer to arrange a special cake for an anniversary, a celebration cake brought on board is available from AED 250. Free soft drinks, mineral water, tea, and chilled juices are supplied for your party. Alternatively, bringing your own food and non-alcoholic drinks onto the motor yacht is permitted without any extra fees. Whether you want an intimate gourmet cruise dining setup or an expansive buffet for a group, our crew handles all table settings and food service on the water. You can even choose to charter a private fishing boat in Dubai to reel in fresh catch, which our team can have prepared and cooked right on deck for AED 150.

Understanding Charter Packages and Pricing Details

Pricing for a private dining voyage is transparent and calculated clearly based on hourly rental rates plus any chosen add-ons. Hourly charter rates for our 16 suitable boats range from AED 680 to AED 4,500, with all applicable VAT already included in the displayed price. Catering options like a hot meal service start from AED 250 per guest, or guests can bring their own food and beverages at zero extra cost. A 30 % deposit is what fixes the date on the calendar; without it, the charter slot stays open to others. The remaining balance is settled comfortably before boarding at the marina. Rescheduling is simple, and if poor sea conditions prevent sailing, a weather cancellation means either a reschedule or a full refund, at the guest's choice.

What Live Entertainment Can You Book on Board?

Customizing the sound and atmosphere on your private motor yacht makes every evening cruise distinctive. Our vessels come equipped with modern sound systems that connect easily to your own playlists via Bluetooth. If you wish to bring professional performers onto the water, we arrange live entertainment options on request through our manager. You can hire a live singer, resident DJ, or traditional cultural acts such as a Tanoura dance or Darbuka drum show to perform on the open deck. For those planning a romantic evening, candles and flowers set up on deck start from AED 400, while complete thematic styling of the yacht decorated before you arrive is available from AED 350. To capture every highlight of your evening around the city skyline, hiring a professional photographer on board starts from AED 500 per hour. From relaxed background melodies to energetic live shows, our team ensures the onboard setup matches your event.

Bar Choices and Alcohol Guidelines on Board

Handling beverage preferences on your private evening trip is completely flexible for all host groups. Bringing your own alcohol aboard any motor yacht in our fleet is permitted and entirely free of charge. Guests are welcome to bring their favourite spirits, wines, or beers to enjoy alongside their meal while cruising past the illuminated coast. Alternatively, full bar service and curated beverage packages can be organized on request through your charter manager prior to departure. Non-alcoholic options are always present, as complimentary mineral water, soft drinks, tea, and chilled juices are supplied on deck for every outing. Whether you prefer a family-focused evening with non-alcoholic refreshments or a fully catered cocktail setup on the flybridge, our crew provides ice, glassware, and serving assistance throughout the trip. Every charter rate shown on our site is fully VAT-inclusive, ensuring total transparency without hidden service fees.

Which Iconic Landmarks Will You See?

Cruising along the coast at night provides striking perspectives of the city's architectural highlights. Leaving the dock from Dubai Marina or Dubai Harbour, your vessel glides past the soaring skyscrapers of JBR before heading out toward Bluewaters Island. Here, guests get an impressive view of Ain Dubai lit up against the night sky. Extending your private charter itinerary gives your captain time to navigate towards the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, revealing iconic waterfront resorts and illuminated canal bridges. The calm evening waters reflect the glowing city lights, creating a peaceful backdrop for your meal on the open deck. From the elevated flybridge or comfortable bow seating on our motor yachts, you can enjoy unobstructed panoramic views of the entire skyline throughout your journey, taking in the grand scale of the modern waterfront from the water.

What Duration Options Exist for Your Cruise?

Private charter itineraries offer total flexibility to match your evening schedule along the coast. Standard evening outings usually commence from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM, while sunset sailings typically set sail around 5:00 PM. A charter duration of two hours provides sufficient time to navigate through the inner canals of Dubai Marina and past Bluewaters Island while enjoying a multi-course dinner on a cruise ship style setup. Extending your charter to three or four hours allows the captain to venture further towards Palm Jumeirah, offering an unhurried dining pace against illuminated skyline views. Every charter is private to your party, making it suitable for families with children of all ages as well as larger groups up to our largest capacity of 15 guests. If you wish to celebrate holidays on the water, booking a new year yacht trip gives your group a front-row seat to coastal fireworks.

Comparing Private Charter Options and Public Cruises

Choosing a private motor yacht for your evening meal offers total control over your itinerary. On a private booking, the whole boat belongs exclusively to your party, meaning there are no tickets or fixed seating arrangements with strangers. You decide the departure time, route, background music, and specific catering menu. Our fleet features 16 suitable boats ranging from 40 to 98 ft, catering to small family dinners or group gatherings up to 15 guests. Traditional dhow boats operate on rigid daily schedules with fixed tables, whereas our private charters let you linger at sea or stop near Palm Jumeirah as you please. Smart casual attire is recommended for your voyage, ensuring comfort both inside the climate-controlled saloons and outdoors on the observation decks.

Marina Arrival and Boarding Procedures

Starting your evening outing is straightforward, with clear meeting points at major waterfront hubs. Our motor yachts launch from prime locations including Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. Guests receive exact berth details from their charter manager in advance, ensuring a smooth arrival at the quay. Boarding typically opens 30 to 45 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time, allowing your group to settle into the air-conditioned saloon before setting off. Accessing the vessel requires minimal hassle, as nobody checks passports or IDs when guests come aboard. Ground car transfers to the marina can be arranged on request to make your journey to the pier entirely stress-free. Whether you are arriving for a sunset voyage or a late-night cruise along the city lights, our crew meets your party at the quay to assist with luggage and welcome everyone onto the vessel.

Deck Facilities and Onboard Amenities Offered

Modern motor yachts in our fleet are built with bi-level deck designs that maximize comfort in every season. Guests can relax inside spacious, air-conditioned indoor dining saloons equipped with comfortable seating, ambient lighting, and fully fitted galley spaces. Step outside onto the open-air upper sundecks or flybridges to take in fresh sea breezes and unobstructed views of the city skyline. Private ensuite washrooms are standard on board, ensuring convenience throughout your journey. Selected larger vessels feature expansive lounging pads on the bow and integrated sound systems to keep your chosen music playing both indoors and out. Whether you choose to dine inside the climate-controlled lounge or under the stars on the main deck, our motor yachts provide a quiet and refined space for your evening event.
