Most yacht charters in Dubai depart from the Dubai Marina, an affluent area surrounded by beautiful gardens and impressive skyscrapers. Here you’ll board your yacht and get ready for a cruise around the best sights of Dubai on the water, including the Marina Yacht Club, Jumeirah Beach Residence (JBR), the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al-Arab, the Palm Island, Zabeel Saray, the Atlantis Hotel, and more. These are just a few of the options of places and things you can see while on a yacht charter in Dubai.
The top beaches for water sports in Dubai include Jumeirah Beach Residence, Club Mina, and Kite Beach, to name a few. Many beaches in Dubai are private and owned by hotels, so they might not be the most accessible option depending on where you are staying in the city. One great option for water sports that isn’t a beach is with a boat tour or charter, where you can go out on a boat charter with a local captain and enjoy water sports like wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing in Dubai.
Flyboarding and jet pack experiences in Dubai on the water start around $80/person on GetMyBoat. These are super fun activities to enjoy while you’re in Dubai. Not only can you take flight over the waves and see the amazing cityscape, you’ll cool off from the intense heat of the city and make unforgettable memories while flyboarding in Dubai.
To drive your own boat in Dubai, you will need a boat license. This applies to all watercraft except for a special guided tour of self-driving boats, for which you do not need a license. If you do not have a boat license but still want to enjoy boating in Dubai, you can book a captained boat or yacht charter to cruise the waters around the city, with a licensed captain to take care of the driving.

A fantastic experience on the boat for my birthday we had an Amazing time! The balloons were perfect! Zeeshan was absolutely great with everything & excellent communication! The jet cars Zeeshan arranged were Amazing too & the guy with the cars doing the filming & photos was so great & made it so much fun! 5***** from me will definitely do it again next year xx
Crew was very helpful & pleasant, boat was nice and clean the only down side was I thought the jet ski time wasn’t quite 1 hour? But overall a great experience and would most certainly use them again 👍
We enjoyed our time on the water! Easy booking, responsive host, friendly captain and staff.
We had an exceptional experience. Zeeshan my dedicated contact, went above and beyond to ensure that all of our needs were met, consistently being available to address any inquiries I had, even considering the time difference as I reside in the Eastern time zone. Two of my guests arrived late but the yacht staff showed great patience. The food served was absolutely delectable and more than capable of accommodating our party of over 10 despite initially booking for just ten. The view was absolutely beautiful throughout the voyage. Captain Kumar and the staff provided impeccable 5-star service throughout the voyage. I will definitely rebook this yacht rental service in the future and highly recommend it to others.
Highly, highly recommend. Zeeshan and his team have absolutely excellent customer service. The boat is exactly as it looks in pictures. It's beautiful, clean, and well kept. The captain was very communicative and timely. Zeeshan was sweet, and lovely. He checked on us constantly. We booked a private sunset rental for two and it was perfect. I like to cook, and the team was ready on standby with all of the materials I needed and was willing to also help assist whenever. My husband and I had an amazing experience because of them. We will def rent again.
Zeeshan was extremely flexible, accommodating and even offered options. The service was great, the staff was very professional and commotion prior, during and after was impeccable. Zeeshan assisted with jet-skis and the water car and the gentlemen he got gave us a memorable experience. It was my spouse’s birthday and the yacht was decorated quite lovely. I would definitely recommend this yacht experience and will definitely use them if we visit Dubai again. 10/10 recommend !!!!
