Sunset Dinner Yacht Cruise in Dubai
A sunset dinner cruise puts you on the water for the most beautiful hour of the day, as the sun slips behind Palm Jumeirah during your meal. The menu is up to you: bring your own food, order catering or book a live BBQ chef. On board you will find a fridge, a microwave, basic cutlery and a Bluetooth sound system for the music.
The advantage of a private charter
When you charter privately, the yacht belongs to your group for the whole trip. There are no strangers at the next table and no fixed programme: the captain and crew handle the sailing while you focus on your guests, and you decide when to sail, what plays and what is served, as far as the Coast Guard rules and the captain allow.
Choosing the right yacht
For a dinner at sea, these yachts leave room for a table:
- Mini Cruiser 40 ft – up to 10 guests
- Pearl 48 ft – up to 12 guests
- Azimut 53 ft – up to 15 guests
- Sunseeker 56 ft – about 20 guests
Bigger groups should look at our yachts for 40 to 60 guests.
Included in the price, and optional extras
Fuel, soft drinks, ice and bottled water are part of the hourly rate, together with the yacht and its professional captain and crew. On request we can add decorations, catering, a chef at the grill or water toys. Feel free to bring your own food and drinks as well: there is a fridge, a microwave and a Bluetooth speaker on board. For an event we put together a quote that reflects how many people are coming, how long you want to sail and the extras you choose; yachts are available from 489 AED per hour (October 2026).
Tips for the day
Sunset time moves through the year, so our team proposes the departure time that puts you on the water at the best moment. Serve the main course before the sun reaches the horizon. In summer, evening trips are the most comfortable; in the cooler months, bring a light jacket. If you only want a short trip at golden hour, see our one-hour yacht rental page.
