Yachts for 16 to 25 People in Dubai
For 16 to 25 guests you step up from a cosy trip to a real party: room to dance, a deck with two or three seating areas, and a cabin for anyone who wants shade. Our fleet has 7 yachts in this range, with hourly prices from 599 AED for the Sunseeker 56 ft. Most of them sit between 599 and 1,149 AED per hour, with the Riva 82 ft in the VIP collection at the top. Prices are the "from" prices shown on the website in October 2026, per hour, and can change by season and date.

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.
Because the price covers the whole yacht, a full group often pays less per person than for a smaller trip. A yacht for 20 guests at around 30 AED per person per hour is a different kind of value than a restaurant dinner, and you keep the whole deck.
Typical plans for 16 to 25 guests
- A birthday party on a yacht, with music and a cake.
- A night party with the lit skyline as a backdrop.
- A fishing trip for a group of friends.
- A sunset dinner cruise as a farewell or an anniversary.
Choosing the right yacht
At this size the main differences are the layout and the extras. Some yachts have more deck, others more cabin space. Start from the number of guests, then check the amenities listed on each yacht page. For the logic behind the sizes, see what size yacht do you need and the price guide.
What you see in 1, 2 and 3 hours
- 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 and what is extra
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.
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.
