Dubai Yacht Charter for Groups of 10 to 15
With ten to fifteen guests, a private yacht really makes sense: the cost is shared among many, yet nobody is left without a seat on deck. Our fleet offers nine boats in this range. Hourly rates start at 489 AED with the Mini Cruiser 40 ft and climb to 7,899 AED for the Lamborghini 63 ft. Since you hire the boat and not individual seats, every extra guest lowers the cost per person.

Per-guest figures simply divide the hourly rate by the full capacity of the yacht. Treat them as a guide only: your real price depends on the date you pick, how long you sail and the extras you add.
The best-value boats here are the Mini Cruiser 40 ft, the Azimut 53 ft, the Oxo 52 ft, the Pearl 48 ft and the Sura 68 ft. The Ferretti, Galeon and Lamborghini yachts belong to our VIP collection, with a higher level of finish and price. Prices shown are starting rates per hour as of October 2026 and can vary with the season and the date.
Ideas for a group of 10 to 15
- A birthday cruise with a close circle of friends.
- A marriage proposal with family and friends hidden on board.
- A sunset dinner with your own food or catering.
- A family day on the water.
Picking the right size
Count your guests and keep a margin: a yacht’s maximum is the number of people it is allowed to carry, not the number who will feel at ease for an afternoon of food and music. If you are at the top of a range, go up one size.
How far you get in 1, 2 or 3 hours
- 60 minutes: a loop past the Harbour, Dubai Marina and JBR, with Bluewaters, Ain Dubai and the crescent of Palm Jumeirah in sight.
- Two hours: time to continue to Atlantis The Palm and the Burj Al Arab.
- Three hours or more: enough for a swim stop or some time at anchor, at an easy pace.
On the day, the captain sets the route according to the sea, the Coast Guard rules and safety.
Included in the hourly rate
The rate is for the entire boat: a professional captain and crew sail it for you, and fuel, ice, bottled water and soft drinks are on board from the start. Optional extras include decorations, catering, a chef at the grill and water toys like jet skis. You are also free to bring your own food and drinks, with a fridge, a microwave and basic cutlery on every yacht.
When to go: seasons and weather
The main yachting season in Dubai lasts from about October or November until April, with daytime highs of 24 to 34 °C. Summer brings 38 to 42 °C and sea water of around 30 °C, so morning, sunset and evening departures are the most comfortable. When the shamal, the strong north-westerly wind, roughens the sea, the Coast Guard may advise against sailing and the trip is moved to another time.
Deposit, balance and cancellation rules
We confirm your booking when the agreed deposit arrives; the rest is paid before you sail. Additional hours and services are billed on top. A no-show, or arriving so late that the departure is missed, is not refunded. If extreme weather or a Dubai Coast Guard order prevents the trip, we postpone or reschedule it, and a mechanical problem entitles you to a full refund or a new date. The notice period for cancellations is explained when you book, and safety decisions rest with the captain. See our terms and conditions for the complete rules.
Good to know before you board
Your playlist can go through the Bluetooth speakers on board, but the Coast Guard expects music to be quieter near restricted areas. Alcohol is only served to adults aged 21 and over; the captain may stop it for safety, and drinks rules differ between charters, so ask us in advance. Bring sunscreen and sunglasses, and choose flat, soft-soled shoes for the deck.
Reserve your yacht
Use our booking page to pick a boat, a date and a start time. Once the agreed deposit reaches us, your slot is locked in; the remainder is settled before departure, and our team explains how much notice you need to give if plans change.
Your questions
What does a yacht for 10 people cost in Dubai?
The Mini Cruiser 40 ft carries up to 10 guests from 489 AED per hour (starting price, October 2026), which can change with the season and the date.
Do we pay per person or for the boat?
For the boat. Captain, crew and fuel are in the hourly rate, so each person pays less as the group grows.
We are 16: what now?
Have a look at our yachts for 16 to 25 guests; a yacht rated for 15 is full at 15.
Can we bring food and drinks?
Yes, there is a fridge, a microwave and basic cutlery on board. Ask our team about the drinks policy for your charter; only adults aged 21 or over may drink.
Which ID should guests bring?
Each person needs an original passport or a valid Emirates ID, a Dubai Coast Guard requirement; pictures or scans on a phone are normally refused.
