How Much Do You Know about Yacht Rental Dubai?

20 May 2025

When cruising in Dubai, most people will choose the route near the Palm Jumeirah. You should know that this is usually very crowded and there is no privacy. If you plan to rent a yacht for Dubai tourism, you should read the following article carefully. In this article, I will share with you the little-known side of Dubai yacht rental to help you create a perfect yacht rental trip!



The unknown side of Dubai yacht rental


When renting a yacht in Dubai, some friends will directly choose an all-inclusive package to save trouble. Generally, this package is cheap and will indeed attract many customers. But in fact, there is a mystery here. It is said to be all-inclusive, but when you get on the boat, you will find that you need to pay extra for fuel and the use of many facilities on the yacht. If you see such a low-priced all-inclusive package when renting, you must pay attention!


Another thing you need to know is that the price of Dubai yacht rental will change with the season. In the peak season, that is, from October to April of the following year, the climate in Dubai is pleasant during this period, which is very suitable for sea travel, and the rental price during this period is also relatively expensive, which will be 30% higher than the off-season. The off-season, which is from May to September, is hot and humid, but in order to attract more customers to rent yachts, rental companies will give great discounts, and some yacht rentals can even be half the price of the peak season.


Pay special attention to the fact that there is an unwritten rule for yacht rentals. If you want to have a perfect yacht cruise, don't ignore the captain and crew, you need to tip them. How much should you give? The total cost of the tip is about 10-15% of the yacht rental fee, which is a more appropriate amount.


Dubai Theme Yacht Tour


If you want to make your yacht trip more interesting when renting a yacht in Dubai, you might as well try to hold a themed yacht party. For example, in Dubai, the more popular theme parties include the "Tropical Paradise" theme, which makes your yacht decorated like a tropical island, and serves special tropical drinks on the yacht, so that you can truly experience the experience of playing in the tropics.


There is also the Hollywood Glamour theme. If you want to experience the feeling of being a star, then the atmosphere of this theme will definitely satisfy you. In addition, the Thousand and One Nights theme is also very good. When you come to an Arab country, how can you not experience the desert style? The above are all popular topics for yacht rental in Dubai. If you have better ideas, you can also find a rental company for customization.


There is a luxurious and noisy experience, and naturally there will be a night stargazing trip away from the city lights. If you want to stay away from the hustle and bustle and experience a luxurious yacht trip quietly, you can choose a sunset cruise, watch the sun disappear from the sea level, and enjoy the night sky when night falls. It’s also very good to enjoy it in silence.


Secret routes for yacht cruises


In Dubai, the classic routes for yacht cruises are basically around Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah. If you want to cruise to hidden attractions and enjoy them, then the quiet bay near Jebel Ali and the sparsely populated Dubai River are very good. We don’t have to go to crowded places, which will affect the experience.


Take the Dubai River as an example. You can cruise here and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the city skyline. There is a stream here, where you can change to a tourist cruise, experience the floating market here, and watch the traditional coral bricks and limestone buildings.


If you love sea fishing, it is a good idea to go to the bay near Jebel Ali, which can only be reached by yacht. Here you can see a lot of marine life, which can be said to be a paradise for fishing enthusiasts. For friends who like water sports, it is also feasible to come here to play!


Avoid common yacht rental traps


If this is your first time renting a yacht, there may be many things you don’t understand, so there are two points you need to pay special attention to!


Fuel surcharge and hidden fees


The fuel fee needs to be understood clearly. Some unreliable rental companies will charge various fees on this basis, and finally this part of the fee will be far more than expected at the time of settlement!


There are also some hidden fees, such as cleaning fees, which seem to be included in the rental package, but some companies will "find fault" when returning the yacht, saying that you damaged or overused the yacht, and charge fees for this reason. In this regard, when renting, the first thing is to find a rental company with a good reputation and reliability, and secondly, read every clause of the contract carefully.


Cancellation policy in extreme weather


The weather is the most important point when going out to sea. What if you can't go out to sea due to weather problems? It may be difficult to ask for a refund. Many rental companies will refuse to refund or only refund a small part of the price on the grounds that "minor weather changes will not affect the voyage". At this time, it is recommended that you negotiate with the rental company to reschedule or ask for a backup cruise plan, rather than being foolishly deducted from the deposit or not getting a penny back.


Dubai tourism yacht rental is becoming more and more popular. Why not try it once? I believe it will give you a good memory. After understanding the content of this article, you will find that yacht trips are not stereotyped. You can have many choices, or you can customize a yacht trip of your own according to your preferences and experience the luxury of Dubai.
