Deck Comforts and Interior Amenities Elevate Sea Voyages

Spacious exterior spaces define every power catamaran in our fleet, featuring expansive sunbeds and open bow trampoline netting for sunbathing. Below deck, fully air-conditioned indoor saloons offer comfortable seating surrounded by panoramic windows for viewing the skyline. Built-in kitchenettes, refrigeration units, and modern sound systems ensure your group remains refreshed throughout the voyage. Clean restroom facilities provide complete comfort while out on open waters. To host a memorable boat party in Dubai, guests can also request pre-arrival yacht decoration starting from AED 350 or opt for a celebration cake brought on board from AED 250 through our manager.

Private Charter Cruising Tailored for Exclusive Groups

Every voyage aboard our motor multihulls is fully private, reserving the entire vessel exclusively for your chosen group between 9:00 and 23:00. Groups looking to rent a catamaran in Dubai can gather up to 45 guests on our largest vessel for customized events. Our signature 5-hour route sails from Marina Walk to Ain Dubai, past Atlantis and Burj Al Arab, before stopping at Antarctica Island. During this extended itinerary, your party can drop anchor for swimming in open waters or enjoy fresh meals. If you want to calculate how much it is to rent a yacht in Dubai, hourly rates span AED 1,600 to AED 4,000 depending on vessel selection.

Which Coastal Landmarks Feature Along the Cruise Route?

Departing from Marina Walk, the 5-hour World Islands Tour offers an impressive vantage point of the city coastline. The vessel glides past the giant Ferris wheel at Ain Dubai before heading out toward the outer crescent of Atlantis on Palm Jumeirah. Continuing along the coast, guests enjoy open views of the iconic sail-shaped Burj Al Arab structure standing in the sea. The final leg leads to Antarctica Island within the offshore archipelago. While cruising past Dubai Harbour vistas, guests are welcome to bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol, without paying any corkage fee.

Multihull Engineering Delivers Excellent Stability and Room

Chartering a power catamaran provides distinct structural advantages over traditional monohull vessels of similar length. Dual hull design significantly reduces rolling and heeling, maintaining upright balance to minimize motion sickness for everyone on deck. A shallow draft enables our vessels to navigate safely into shallow coastal coves, bays, and quiet offshore anchorage spots. The wider beam creates vastly superior social surface area compared to single-hull motor yachts. Families planning to charter a yacht in Dubai will appreciate the broad, stable platform, which allows guests of all ages to relax comfortably without needing any passport or ID documents to board.

How Do Pricing Terms and Booking Procedures Work?

Reserving your preferred date requires a 30 % advance deposit, which secures the vessel on our calendar as unpaid slots remain available to other inquiries. Final billing balances are settled before boarding at the marina. All listed rates include VAT, ensuring total transparency with no hidden charges. Should severe weather prevent sailing, guests can select a full payment refund or reschedule to a new date. When planning to hire a boat in Dubai Creek or charter along the coast, inquiries sent via WhatsApp receive a prompt answer within fifteen minutes between 9:00 and 23:00 Gulf Standard Time.

Which boat to take

Before you book

What Happens During a Private Catamaran Cruise?

A catamaran trip is a private sea voyage aboard a twin-hull motor vessel. Guided by a professional crew, guests cruise along the coastline, take in city landmarks, swim in open waters, and relax across spacious sun decks and indoor saloons.

What are the charter rates for a catamaran cruise?

Chartering a private power catamaran costs from AED 1,600 to AED 4,000 per hour, depending on the vessel size and capacity. Prices include 5% VAT. Optional add-ons such as onboard fishing tackle for AED 150 or catering are billed separately.

Where Does the Word Catamaran Come From?

The word catamaran originates from the Tamil phrase 'kattumaram', meaning logs bound together. Today, it describes any watercraft featuring two parallel hulls of equal size joined together by a central deck structure for increased lateral stability.

How Does a Catamaran Compare to a Sailboat?

A power catamaran relies on twin hulls for balance, providing wider deck space and reduced side-to-side rolling. A traditional monohull sailboat features a single hull with a weighted keel that heels into the wind. Our fleet consists exclusively of motor-powered vessels.

How Is a Catamaran Charter Different from Ferries?

A ferry is a public transport vessel operating on fixed public transit routes. A catamaran charter with us is a private motor yacht trip reserved entirely for your private group, featuring custom cruise routes and dedicated crew service.

Where does the 5-hour catamaran tour sail?

Our 5-hour World Islands Tour departs from Marina Walk and sails past Ain Dubai, Atlantis, Burj Al Arab, and stops at Antarctica Island. It offers ample time for offshore sightseeing, swimming, and onboard dining.

Do you offer electric or battery-powered catamarans?

Our active charter fleet features motor-powered catamarans running on standard marine fuel engines. We do not currently offer fully electric or battery-powered multihulls in our 5 suitable vessels for this route.

Do departures take place near the Sharjah border?

All 5 suitable catamarans in our fleet depart exclusively from Dubai Harbour and Marina Walk. We do not operate departure piers or pick-up locations near the Sharjah coastline or border ports.

What is the hourly rate to hire a catamaran?

Hourly rental rates for our private motor catamarans range from AED 1,600 to AED 4,000, depending on the specific vessel selected. A 30 % advance deposit is required to confirm your calendar booking.
