The single most common question we get is also the simplest to answer: hourly yacht charter in Dubai starts at AED 500 per hour for a 35-foot sport yacht and tops out at AED 4,500/hour for our flagship 150-foot super yacht. Day charters (8 hours) are generally priced as 7 hours to give you one hour of discount. Here's the full breakdown.

Peak-season pricing
Rates stay the same year-round — there are no peak-season surcharges at Private Yacht Dubai. However, weekends (Fri–Sun) and UAE public holidays (National Day, Eid, New Year's Eve) book out 4–6 weeks ahead. If you have a specific date in mind, lock it early.
