Charter a Yacht for a Seven Day Voyage

When you plan to charter a yacht for a week in Dubai, Pearl & Prow offers 77 suitable boats ranging from 40 to 164 ft. Operating from Dubai Harbour and Dubai Marina, hourly base rates run from AED 680 to AED 18,900, with every quote reflecting the total final price including mandatory VAT inside.

Rates Cover Core Running Expenses and Statutory Taxes

Calculating overall rental fees depends on vessel size, duration, and chosen schedule. Standard costs include fuel for scheduled routes, crew support, and standard mooring fees at the home port. Every price quoted on our site is the final figure with VAT inside, ensuring total transparency. If you choose to hire a private yacht in Dubai for a full seven days, extended journeys often yield lower average daily rates than single-hour bookings. Additional expenses apply if you request docking at external marinas along the Arabian Gulf or order custom provisioning through our team. Our chat team responds within 15 minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 GST to guide you through payment links. Selecting a long multi-day itinerary allows your group to settle into life at sea without rushing between harbors.

What to expect

  1. Skipper included on every trip

    A licensed captain is included in the rate on all 30 crewed yachts; guests never need a licence of their own.

  2. Crew included for your group

    Larger yachts carry a captain plus one to three deckhands who serve drinks, set up catering and look after swimmers at the stops.

  3. Your choice of destinations

    Tell the captain what you want to see; the route is adjusted to the sea state and the time you have, from a marina loop to Burj Al Arab.

  4. Brief safety introduction on board

    Before departure the captain agrees the route and the swim stop with you; questions are answered in the WhatsApp chat beforehand.

Extended Routes Cross Offshore Islands and Coastal Bays

Cruising along the shoreline reveals the city from a unique perspective as you sail past iconic landmarks. Local trips typically cover Dubai Marina, JBR, Ain Dubai, Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arab, and the calm passages of Dubai Water Canal. Selecting the right motor vessel means checking overall Dubai yacht rental prices and vehicle features. With a full seven days at sea, your yacht can head farther to explore the World Islands, quiet coastal lagoons, and open anchorages. Multi-day itineraries can even extend across the gulf toward Abu Dhabi for an expansive maritime journey. The cooler months from November through March offer ideal weather with mild sea conditions for extended journeys. Swimming is popular during daylight stops, though night swims are restricted for overall maritime safety. Every journey allows your group to mix energetic water sightseeing with quiet anchorages away from urban shorelines.

Which Comfort Amenities Come Standard Across the Fleet?

Standard onboard inclusions feature climate-controlled salons, bluetooth sound systems, open sun decks, and spacious swim platforms for easy water access. Larger vessels in our fleet offer multi-level flybridges, relaxing jacuzzis, and fully equipped galleys for complex meal prep. All charters provide complete marine safety equipment, including adult and child life jackets, along with full operational insurance coverage. Sleeping on board is a comfortable experience thanks to well-appointed staterooms, clean linens, and quiet generator power throughout the night. No passport or identity document is asked for at boarding, making your arrival smooth and direct. Leaving from prime departure points at Dubai Harbour or Dubai Marina puts you steps away from top marine facilities, ensuring a smooth start to your time on board.

Which Vessel Layouts Offer Extended Cabin Capacity?

Choosing the right motor yacht depends on whether you plan daytime cruising or multi-night stays along the coast. While our largest motor vessels accommodate up to 75 guests for daytime events, overnight capacity is defined strictly by fixed stateroom and bed layouts. Twin-hull power catamarans are particularly suited for family groups due to their wide beams, expansive deck areas, and reliable sea stability. Staterooms across our fleet feature individual air conditioning, private en-suite bathrooms, and fresh linens. When you seek a cheap yacht hire in Dubai, reviewing sleeping configurations helps match your group size to the appropriate hull length. Our 77 suitable boats ranging from 40 to 164 ft give groups multiple cabin arrangements to consider. Taking time to review stateroom setups ensures comfortable sleeping quarters for everyone on board.

Catering Options Allow Outside Meals and Open Alcohol

Bringing your own groceries, cooked dishes, and beverages aboard is completely permitted with zero corkage fees across our fleet. Guests can store refreshments in onboard galleys and enjoy personal meals at their leisure while cruising past coastal landmarks. When you choose to rent a boat in Dubai Marina, our team can also arrange turnkey dining additions on request. We set up live dinner service served on board from AED 250 per guest, or deliver custom celebration cakes starting from AED 250. Deck decorations can be added from AED 350, while romantic arrangements with candles and flowers start from AED 400. You retain full freedom to combine our organized meal service with your own preferred provisions. Whether hosting a family gathering or a private dinner, flexible meal options ensure your time on the water remains tailored to your group.

Motorized Sports Equipment Can Be Added Upon Request

Adding water activities turns any extended trip into an active ocean getaway along the coast. Jet skis, flyboards, e-foils, and towable banana boats can be arranged by our team and delivered directly to your motor yacht. Deep-sea fishing gear, including rods, tackle, and bait, is available ready on board for AED 150, and having your catch cooked on board costs AED 150. Water sports take place exclusively during daylight hours in designated coastal activity zones. You can also request a photographer on board from AED 500 per hour to capture action shots on the water. Paddle boards, seabobs, and snorkeling gear are also available through your chat manager. Combining active sports with relaxed cruising creates a balanced daily routine for everyone in your party.

Do Certified Crew Members Handle Every Navigation Duty?

Operating every motor yacht in our fleet is the sole responsibility of a licensed captain and professional deck crew. Guests do not need a boating license, maritime permit, or prior navigation experience to book a journey off the coast of Dubai. The captain manages route plotting, harbor maneuvering, and weather monitoring, while deckhands assist with lines, anchoring, and guest safety. Larger motor yachts also include interior hostesses to manage salon comfort and meal setups. Securing your dates is simple once the 30% deposit is paid through our secure online link; without a deposit, dates remain open. When bad weather or rough sea conditions prevent the trip from taking place, guests simply select a new date or receive a full refund.
