Which Sights Feature Along Our Sightseeing Route?

Cruising along the shoreline offers dramatic views of famous architectural landmarks. Setting out from Marina Walk, our 2-hour Burj Al Arab Tour passes the giant wheel of Ain Dubai and the vibrant waterfront district at JBR. The journey continues toward the open water, positioning your craft directly off the coast of the iconic sail-shaped hotel for dedicated photo pauses. If you decide to book a yacht in Dubai for custom coastal photography, our crew pauses the craft near key landmarks to ensure clear sightlines. Guests can capture panoramic photos from open outdoor decks without the obstruction of crowded public platforms. Experiencing a sightseeing yacht off Dubai gives your private group front-row views of the skyline from the sea. Each charter follows this focused itinerary to maximize your time on the water, blending smooth cruising through coastal channels with relaxed stopping points opposite world-famous architectural monuments before returning smoothly to the marina.

Private Charter Options for Your Dedicated Group Itinerary

Reserving a dedicated charter ensures your group enjoys exclusive use of the entire vessel throughout your trip. Unlike public sightseeing tours, our private journeys allow your party to choose the music, set the pace, and relax without sharing deck space with outside guests. Every itinerary is fully tailored to your preferences, whether you want extended photo stops near Burj Al Arab or relaxed cruising along JBR. Families, corporate groups, and friends celebrating special events can customize their cruise with special add-ons. On request, our team can arrange fresh flowers and candles on deck from AED 400, custom party decorations from AED 350, or a professional onboard photographer from AED 500 per hour. When booking charter yacht trips with Alizea Yachting, your reservation secures the whole boat for your group. The remaining balance for your cruise is settled conveniently right before you step on board.

Onboard Refreshments and Custom Catering Options

Planning your dining setup on the water is simple with flexible options for every gathering. Every private trip allows guests to bring their own favorite dishes and beverages on board, including alcohol, completely free of any corkage fees. For those who prefer turn-key service, our manager can arrange custom dining packages directly in chat. Options include a full dinner served on board starting from AED 250 per guest, or a custom celebration cake brought to the vessel from AED 250. You can also order a fresh deck meal where our crew cooks your catch on board for AED 150. Whether you bring personal snacks or request formal service, our motor craft feature comfortable indoor tables and spacious outer decks for relaxed dining. Securing an affordable yacht for vacations allows your party to enjoy personalized dining along the coast. Arranging catering through Alizea Yachting ensures your food and chilled drinks are prepared before your cruise begins.

Exploring Motor Fleet Options and Vessel Categories

Our private motor fleet features 88 yachts and boats ranging from 33 to 164 ft in length, accommodating gatherings of different sizes up to 90 guests. Guests can choose between versatile day cruisers, spacious power catamarans, and expansive multi-deck motor yachts. Every vessel in our fleet is fully motor-powered, featuring air-conditioned indoor saloons alongside open-air sun decks for panoramic coastal viewing. Larger motor craft offer ample deck space for corporate gatherings or family celebrations, while smaller power boats provide an agile option for quick coastal trips. Those interested in water sports can request a jet ski ride in Dubai through our manager, adding exciting water activities to their charter experience. Hourly rates across our fleet range from AED 600 to AED 18,900, with every figure representing the final price inclusive of VAT. Each craft is maintained to high technical standards, offering comfortable seating, modern sound systems, and dedicated crew service.

Do Health and Safety Regulations Restrict Guest Mobility?

Maintaining standard safety protocols keeps every coastal trip smooth and secure for all guests. Our motor craft operate under the command of licensed captains who monitor marine conditions and manage navigation along the shoreline. Life jackets are provided on board for every person in your group. Guests are free to move between the open sun deck and air-conditioned lounges while cruising along the coast. Pregnant women, infants, and travelers with back issues should consider ocean motion when selecting a trip, though our motor craft provide stable, smooth transit across calm waters. Families planning trips on a catamaran for family and friends will find ample room on deck for easy movement and relaxing in open air. If bad weather ever affects scheduled departure conditions, your trip is safely rescheduled or your payment is fully returned. Every vessel in our fleet complies with official marine safety protocols to ensure total peace of mind throughout your private charter.

Selecting Your Tour Duration and Daily Schedule

Private trips operate continuously throughout the day, allowing groups to pick departures between 9:00 and 23:00 Gulf time. Our standard Burj Al Arab Tour covers a full 2 hours, giving your group plenty of time to view major landmarks along the water without feeling rushed. Guests should plan to arrive at the designated pier shortly before their reserved departure time to ensure a prompt departure from the slip. Reserving a mini boat rental or a large motor craft gives you complete control over your departure schedule. Between 9:00 and 23:00, our online chat manager responds to availability inquiries within 15 minutes. A 30% deposit via a secure online card payment link confirms your date and time on our calendar. Because every charter is private, your chosen vessel departs on time exclusively for your group, returning smoothly to the marina at the end of your set cruising window.

Marina Boarding Locations and Direct Transfer Access

Departures for our private coastal trips are centered around prime waterfront hubs, including Dubai Marina and Dubai Harbour. The 2-hour Burj Al Arab Tour sets sail directly from Marina Walk, offering easy pier access for arriving groups. Guests can reach the pier via taxi drop-off points, nearby parking garages, or a quick connection from the local metro station. To make arrival effortless, private car transfers to the marina can be arranged on request through our booking manager in chat. Coordinating your arrival is simple, whether your party arrives in personal vehicles or arranged ground transport. Selecting a speed boat in Dubai gives your group direct access to coastal sightlines straight from the marina slip. Our crew greets your group at the dock upon arrival, guiding everyone onto the craft so your coastal journey begins promptly without delays or complex boarding procedures.
