Browse every yacht for hire in Dubai →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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.

BoatFinder+ adds five platform extras to every yacht booking: tiered birthday / anniversary / graduation cakes (1–3 kg or custom), themed décor (Standard / Premium / Luxury), jet ski packages, airport / hotel pick-and-drop transfers (Economy / Luxury / SUV), and tiered onboard food (Standard / Premium / Luxury). All five are fulfilled directly by BoatFinder+ — not by the operator — so pricing is uniform across every yacht.

Pricing on enquiry
Almost every Dubai operator applies a two-hour minimum hire. Three hours is the most commonly booked slot because it covers the Marina, Palm Jumeirah, Atlantis and Burj Al Arab loop with a swim stop.
Yes. Operators typically take a 25–50% deposit to hold the slot, with the balance due before boarding. Some vessels also hold a refundable security deposit for damage, released after the hire.
Yes. UAE regulations require a licensed captain on commercial charters, so every yacht hire listed on BoatFinder+ includes captain, crew and fuel in the hourly rate.
One-hour hire is rare because of the two-hour minimum, but short 90-minute photo and proposal slots are occasionally released midweek. Filter the live inventory by hourly rate to find the shortest available hires.
Captain and crew, fuel, soft drinks, water, ice, towels and basic sound system are standard. Catering, décor, jet skis, water toys and photography are priced separately by the operator.
Weekend and sunset slots between November and March book out 2–4 weeks ahead. Weekday midday hires can usually be secured 24–72 hours in advance.
They describe the same product — hiring the whole boat with a crew. 'Hire' is the more common British and expat phrasing; 'rental' is the more common American and operator phrasing. Prices and terms are identical.
Dinner cruises and yacht charters in Dubai share the same operators, marinas and pricing data on BoatFinder+, so you can switch between formats without losing your comparison.
