How booking works on BoatFinder+

Inclusions and cancellation terms vary by operator and are shown on each listing. The points below describe how the BoatFinder+ rental marketplace works and what to check before you confirm.

What is included

Each listing page states exactly what its operator includes in the hourly rate. On most Dubai charters that is the vessel, crew, fuel for the agreed cruising route, soft drinks, water and ice. Food, alcohol, décor, water toys and photography are add-ons unless the listing says otherwise.

Captain and crew

All yacht rentals listed on BoatFinder+ are crewed charters — a licensed captain operates the vessel. Bareboat (self-drive) yacht hire is not offered. Crew size scales with vessel length and guest count.

Fuel policy

Fuel for the standard cruising route quoted in your booking is normally included in the hourly rate. Extended routes (for example Dubai Marina to Palm Jumeirah and back to Dubai Harbour), higher-speed running or itinerary changes on the day can carry a fuel surcharge set by the operator.

Deposit and payment

Bookings are confirmed with a deposit paid to the operator through the BoatFinder+ booking flow; the balance is settled before or at boarding, per the operator's terms. Prices on the platform are shown in AED per hour, and any security deposit or overtime rate is disclosed before you pay.

Cancellation and weather

Charters cancelled by the operator or by the marina for unsafe weather are rescheduled or refunded. Guest-initiated cancellation windows and fees are set by each operator and shown on the listing before checkout.

How availability is confirmed

Selecting Check availability sends your date, duration and guest count to the operator that owns the listing. The operator confirms the slot and the final quote; you receive the confirmation by WhatsApp or email. Nothing is charged until the slot is confirmed.

Inclusions and cancellation terms vary by operator and are shown on each listing.
