Catamaran Rental in Dubai
A catamaran has two hulls, which makes it steady on the water and gives it a wide, flat deck. That is why groups like it: more room to move, more room to sit, and less rolling. Our fleet has three catamarans, the Explora 60 ft and the Ozone 55 ft (40 guests each, from 1,549 and 1,949 AED per hour) and the Volare 60 ft (45 guests, from 3,399 AED).
Our catamarans
Why choose a catamaran?
- Stability: two hulls make for a steadier ride than a single hull of the same size.
- A wide deck: good for groups who want room to move and to sit.
- Groups: all three take 40 or more guests, so they suit events and larger families.
The trade-off: a motor yacht usually offers more cabin space and a more classic look. Catamaran vs motor yacht in Dubai lists pros, cons and who each suits.
Budget per person
| Yacht | Guests | From / hour | Estimated per person / hour |
|---|---|---|---|

The per-person figure is the hourly price divided by the maximum number of guests. It is an estimate, not a quote: the final price depends on date, duration and extras.

- 1 hour: the Harbour and Marina area, JBR, Bluewaters with Ain Dubai, and the Palm Jumeirah crescent in view.
- 2 hours: adds Atlantis The Palm and the Burj Al Arab.
- 3 hours or more: adds a swim stop or anchoring and a slower, more relaxed pace.
The exact route always depends on sea conditions, Coast Guard rules and the captain, and is agreed with the captain on the day.
What is included
The yacht, a professional captain and crew, fuel, bottled water, ice and soft drinks are included in the hourly price. Decorations, catering, a live BBQ chef and water sports equipment such as jet skis are optional extras. Prices are the "from" prices shown on the website in October 2026, per hour, and can change by season and date.
Best season and weather
Dubai's peak yachting season runs from roughly October or November to April, when daily highs sit between 24 and 34 °C. In summer, highs reach 38 to 42 °C, so morning, sunset and night trips are the comfortable choices, and the sea can reach about 30 °C. Strong north-westerly "shamal" winds can make the sea rough, and trips are rescheduled when the Coast Guard advises. Read the best time to rent a yacht in Dubai to choose your season and time of day.
Deposit, balance and cancellations
Your booking is confirmed once the agreed deposit is received, and the balance is paid before departure. Extra hours and extra services are charged. There is no refund for a no-show or a late arrival that causes a missed departure. If extreme weather or a Dubai Coast Guard instruction stops the trip, it is postponed or rescheduled; for a mechanical failure you get a full refund or a new date. Our team explains the cancellation notice period when you book, and the captain has the final say on safety. The full rules are in our terms and conditions.
Practical tips
Every yacht has a Bluetooth sound system for your own playlist; keep the volume low near restricted areas, as the Coast Guard requires. Only adults aged 21 or over may drink, the captain can refuse service for safety reasons, and the drinks policy depends on your charter, so ask our team before you go. Bring sun protection, and wear flat, soft-soled shoes on deck.
