How a yacht charter in Abu Dhabi works
- Pick a boat and a time. Choose from the cards above, or send your date, start time and guest count on WhatsApp and we suggest two or three boats that are free.
- Choose the length. The minimum is 2 hours. Three hours gives time for a stop to swim; sunset slots are popular, so book those early.
- Confirm and pay. You receive the confirmation with the boat, time and meeting point. Where Tabby is shown, you can split the payment into four.
- Board and cruise. Crewed charters come with a captain and crew who plan the route around the weather, the light and your plans.
What is on board, and what you can add
- Soft drinks and speakers are listed on every yacht card above.
- Food, cakes, decoration and photographers can be arranged on request – ask when you book.
- For celebrations, see the birthday yacht and yacht party pages; for the full price overview by boat type, see yacht rental prices in Abu Dhabi.
Questions about chartering a yacht in Abu Dhabi
Can I pay for a yacht charter in instalments?
Yes, on the boats that show Tabby on their card: the price can be split into four payments. Ask on WhatsApp if you want to use it for another boat.
Is the price per person?
No. Every price is per hour for the whole boat, up to the boat's maximum number of guests.
Is a captain included?
Yes, crewed charters include a captain and crew. The Self Drive Boat is the exception – you drive it yourself on calm water.
Which boat fits a group of 20 people?
For 20 guests look at the Catamaran 66 ft (up to 18), Tecno Marin or the Haya and Saadiyat houseboats (up to 20 each). For more room to move, the 35-guest houseboats M1, M2 and King are a comfortable step up.
