Private Yacht Prices for Small and Large Groups

[jonnykhan]

Shared yacht tours in Dubai are good for couples, but when you are going with family or friends most people prefer to have the full boat for themselves. In that case the price comes as per hour for the whole yacht and not per person, so the size of your group decides which yacht makes sense. Since this is the part where people get confused the most, how much a private yacht in Dubai costs for their group is a very common question before booking.

Let me tell you that in Dubai Marina the yachts start from small 30 ft boats and go up to big 100 ft yachts, but for majority of the groups two sizes does the job, the 33 ft and the 44 ft. Most companies also ask for minimum 2 hours booking, so keep that in mind while making the budget.

Now if we talk about small groups, the 33 ft yacht is the best fit. It can take around 8 to 10 guests comfortably and the price usually starts from around AED 400 to 500 per hour, depending on the day and season. It has a deck sitting area, small cabin with washroom and sun deck. For a family of 5 or 6 people or a small birthday with friends, this size is more than enough and the cost per head comes very reasonable. Suppose you take it for 2 hours with 8 people, then each person pays almost same as a premium shared cruise ticket.

When the group is bigger, like 12 to 18 people, then the 44 ft yacht comes into the picture. It has more space on the deck, a bigger cabin inside and better seating for everyone to sit together. The price is around AED 700 to 900 per hour, so it is more than the small one but when you divide it among 15 people the per person cost is actually less. This size is mostly booked for family get togethers and office outings.
In both the yachts the captain, crew, fuel, soft drinks, water and ice are normally included in the price. Food, cake, decoration, BBQ or swimming stop are extra and you have to request them while booking. Weekends and the evening sunset slot are costlier than weekday afternoons also, so if your dates are flexible then you can save some money.

If you are planning a new year private yacht in Dubai and not sure which size is right for your group, then its better to physically visit and check the yacht before booking. Companies like Newyeardubaipackage.com have both 33 ft and 44 ft yachts available in Dubai Marina and their team will suggest the right one as per your group size, timing and budget.
