Yachts for 40 to 60 People in Dubai
For 40 to 60 guests you are planning an event, not just a boat trip. Our fleet has 10 yachts and catamarans in this range, from the Explora 60 ft (40 guests, from 1,549 AED per hour) to the Aquila 60 ft (45 guests, 3,399 AED), with the largest, the Caliente 96 ft, taking up to 60.

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.
Yacht or catamaran?
Three of these are catamarans (Explora 60 ft, Ozone 55 ft and Volare 60 ft). A catamaran is steady on the water and has a wide deck, which helps with large groups who want room to move. A motor yacht usually gives you more cabin space and a more classic look. Our guide catamaran vs motor yacht in Dubai lists pros and cons, and the catamaran rental page covers the three catamarans.
Events that fit 40 to 60 guests
- A corporate yacht charter for client hospitality or a staff outing.
- A big birthday party.
- A night party with sound and lights.
- A New Year's Eve cruise for the fireworks (book weeks in advance).
Planning a party for a large group
Plan for timing, food, music and the boarding list. Every guest must carry an original passport or a valid Emirates ID, so send the rules to everyone in advance. Our checklist how to plan a yacht party for 50+ guests in Dubai covers each step, and what size yacht do you need helps you pick the capacity.
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
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.
How to book
