Deck Amenities and Saloon Features

Multihull design creates expansive social areas across every power catamaran in our fleet. Guests can unwind on open sun decks, rest on shaded lounges, or step onto the front bow trampoline netting over the water. Selecting a catamaran yacht rental gives you access to air-conditioned saloons featuring wraparound panoramic windows, comfortable seating, audio setups, cooling units, kitchenettes, and full restroom facilities. Our staff ensures every detail is ready prior to departure, while guests are free to bring their own food and drinks, including alcohol, at no added charge. From relaxing under the sun to gathering inside the main lounge, these vessels provide maximum space for your group during any sea journey across Dubai.

Landmarks Seen on Coastal Catamaran Cruises

Our popular 5-hour route takes your party past the city's most famous coastal sights. Departing from Marina Walk, the trip glides past Ain Dubai, sails past the shorelines of Atlantis and Burj Al Arab, and reaches the quiet surroundings of Antarctica Island on The World Islands. Shorter trips focus on closer coastal loops, while a 5-hour booking provides the full itinerary with time for anchored stops. If you wonder what landmarks can be seen during a Dubai catamaran tour, this comprehensive route highlights the full array of shoreline icons. Rods, tackle, and bait can be arranged for AED 150 through our manager upon request.

How Do Rental Rates and Bookings Work?

Hourly rates range from AED 1,600 to AED 4,000 depending on vessel size, overall capacity, and time slot. To secure your trip, message our manager via the WhatsApp chat button on the page with your date, chosen hours, and guest count. The manager confirms details and sends a secure online card payment link. Paying a 30% deposit locks your date immediately; unpaid dates remain open to other inquiries. The remaining balance is settled prior to departure. All quoted prices include standard local VAT with no hidden fees added later. Should adverse weather prompt a trip cancellation, you can select a full refund or reschedule your catamaran voyage across Dubai without penalty.

Why Choose a Private Boat Charter?

Reserving an entire power catamaran gives your group complete control over the schedule, ambiance, and sightseeing route without sharing space with strangers. Whether planning a corporate gathering, family day, or celebration, private rentals cater exclusively to your party. A dedicated boat tour in Dubai allows flexible timing and relaxed stops along the coast. Our 5-hour charters give ample time to anchor for swimming in calm waters, enjoy open-air music, or sunbathe on deck. If you wonder how long a cruise takes or whether you can swim during a private outing in Dubai, five hours allows both uninterrupted coastal cruising and extended anchorage time near pristine offshore spots.

Key Advantages of Multihull Yacht Designs

Twin-hull engineering gives every power catamaran excellent lateral stability compared to traditional monohulls. Parallel hulls reduce side-to-side rolling and prevent heeling, ensuring a steady, level ride that keeps guests comfortable throughout the voyage. A shallow draft allows vessels to enter coastal coves, shallow lagoons, and anchorage points close to shore where deeper monohull yachts cannot go. Additionally, the broad beam provides significantly more surface area on deck and inside the saloon than single-hull vessels of equal length. Experience this superior stability and massive deck space aboard our 67 foot yacht alternatives while cruising the calm waters of Dubai.

Charter FAQ

What does taking a catamaran trip involve?

A catamaran trip is a private sea voyage on a twin-hulled motor vessel. The double hull delivers extra deck space and lateral stability. Charters depart from Dubai Harbour, offering customized coastal sightseeing, swimming stops, and relaxation for private groups of up to 45 guests.

What are the charter rates for catamarans in Dubai?

Private charters cost between AED 1,600 and AED 4,000 per hour, depending on the vessel size and capacity. All prices include VAT. Optional services, such as fishing tackle for AED 150 or prepaid deck decorations from AED 350, are arranged separately with the manager.

What is the origin of the term catamaran?

The word catamaran refers to a boat featuring two parallel hulls of equal size joined by a single frame or deck. In modern motor charter fleets, this multihull structure provides wider lounging decks, improved lateral balance, and shallow draft access near coastal shores.

How does a catamaran differ from a traditional monohull sailboat?

Our fleet consists entirely of power catamarans driven by engines. Unlike traditional monohull sailboats that rely on canvas sails and heavy ballast keels that tilt under wind, motor catamarans use dual hulls to stay level, offering far greater deck area and enhanced stability.

How Does a Catamaran Charter Differ from a Public Ferry?

A public ferry operates scheduled commuter transit routes with individual ticket seats. A private catamaran charter gives your group exclusive use of the whole vessel. You choose your departure time between 9:00 and 23:00, tailor the route, and add custom services.

What stops are included on the coastal catamaran route?

The signature 5-hour charter departs Marina Walk and sails past Ain Dubai, Atlantis, and Burj Al Arab before reaching Antarctica Island on The World Islands. The itinerary combines open-water cruising with opportunities to anchor for swimming or relaxing on deck.

Do you offer electric or eco-friendly catamarans for rent?

Our current charter fleet features modern motor-powered catamarans ranging from 55-60 ft. We do not currently operate fully electric or hybrid vessels, focusing instead on reliable power multihulls that ensure comfortable cruising across coastal waters.

Are your catamaran charters available near Sharjah coastal areas?

Our catamarans depart specifically from Dubai Harbour and Marina Walk, servicing routes along the local coastline including Palm Jumeirah and The World Islands. We do not host departures or dock in Sharjah piers.

What is the overall price to hire a catamaran?

Chartering one of our 5 suitable power catamarans costs between AED 1,600 and AED 4,000 per hour. Securing a date requires a 30% deposit via a secure payment link, with final balance payment required prior to boarding.
