A yacht charter is perfect for sightseeing, but you can make it unforgettable by adding water sports. The calm protected waters around Palm Jumeirah make Dubai one of the best yacht-based water-sports destinations in the world. Here's what's available and what it costs.
Jet Skis
Yamaha VX-C 2-seaters towed behind the yacht or launched from a beach club stop. AED 300 per 15-minute session. Most popular with groups of friends.
Flyboard
Water-jet backpack that propels you up to 10 metres above the water. AED 600 per 30-minute session, with an instructor for the first 10 minutes. One of Dubai's most Instagrammed yacht experiences.
Wakeboarding & water-skiing
Towed behind a tender boat at 30–35 km/h. AED 400 per 20-minute session. Best for experienced riders, but beginners can learn in one session.
Banana boat rides
Inflatable towable for up to 8 riders. AED 250 per 15-minute session. Hilarious for family groups and teenagers.
Stand-up paddleboards (SUP)
Included free on all 4-hour+ charters. Stable enough for beginners, great for photos near the Palm.
Snorkelling
All snorkel gear included free. Best spots: near Atlantis (colourful fish), off Jumeirah Beach (clear shallow water), near Palm Jumeirah tip (occasional turtle sightings).
When to book
Add water sports to your charter when you book — we bring the equipment to the yacht. Same-day additions are possible but can delay departure by 30 minutes.
Safety
All water sports include life jackets (adult and child sizes), safety briefing and instructor supervision. Age limits: jet ski 16+, flyboard 18+, wakeboarding 12+, banana boat 8+.
