Your Safety and Service is Our Priority

At YRD Yachts, you are not just renting a boat; you are booking a personalized service. Our crew is the heart of your experience.

Professional Captains with Local Expertise

Our Captains are fully certified by the UAE Maritime Authority and boast years of sailing experience in the Arabian Gulf. They don't just drive the boat; they are knowledgeable local guides who can point out the best photo spots and safely navigate you to the swimming zones, guaranteeing an outstanding and secure journey.


Five-Star Service from the Moment You Board

From helping you organize any surprises (like cakes or decorations) to ensuring your drinks are topped up and the boat is spotless, our crew is there to serve discreetly, allowing you to focus completely on enjoying the stunning views of Dubai.

Essential Charter Questions Answered

We know you have questions before booking. Here are the most common details about our charters, designed to give you peace of mind.

Absolutely! Unlike many operators, we allow you to bring your own catering, snacks, and any beverages you prefer, including alcohol. We provide ice and storage space to keep everything chilled, so you can enjoy your own selection without extra fees.

All our 40ft yacht charters depart from a premium berth within the Dubai Harbour Marina. The exact pier number and a clear map with parking instructions are shared with you via WhatsApp immediately after your booking is confirmed. This ensures a quick, stress-free boarding process.

We highly recommend booking for a minimum of 3 or 4 hours if swimming is a priority. This allows enough time to comfortably cruise past the main sights (like Atlantis and Burj Al Arab) and still anchor at a designated, calm swimming spot near JBR or the Lagoon for a decent amount of time before cruising back.

Limited Time Offer: Summer Sunset Special!

Make your trip unforgettable and get the best value for your money. For a limited time, enjoy more cruising time on our popular 40ft yacht.
