Dubai Marina is the beating heart of Dubai's yacht charter scene — the world's largest man-made marina, ringed by 200+ skyscrapers, the JBR Beach, Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai. Every Atlantis Yachts charter departs from Dubai Marina Yacht Club, the marina's flagship harbour, with free guest parking, easy ride-hail access, and a 25-minute drive from Dubai International Airport (DXB).
From the moment you cast off, you're surrounded by the most photogenic skyline in the world — neon-lit residential towers, the Marina Walk, the JBR promenade, and on the open Gulf, an unobstructed view of the Burj Al Arab, Atlantis The Palm and the Crescent of Palm Jumeirah. Whether you're chartering for a 90-minute photo cruise, a 4-hour family day out, or a full-day escape to the World Islands, every itinerary starts and ends right here in Dubai Marina.
Departures from the marina's flagship harbour — free parking, easy ride-hail access.

Why Dubai Marina Is the Best Place to Rent a Yacht
Dubai Marina is purpose-built for yachting. Unlike Mina Rashid or Jebel Ali Port, the marina is designed for leisure — calm waters, professional valet, dedicated yacht clubs, and dockside cafés that make the start and end of every charter feel like an event in itself. The marina is sheltered from open-Gulf swell, so even guests who get seasick easily can enjoy the calmer water inside the breakwater before heading out.
Dubai Marina is also the only departure point in the city that puts you within minutes of every iconic yacht photo opportunity: 10 minutes to the JBR skyline, 15 minutes to Bluewaters Island and Ain Dubai, 20 minutes to the Burj Al Arab, and 30 minutes to Palm Jumeirah's Crescent and Atlantis The Palm. From any other harbour, you'd spend an extra 30–60 minutes just getting to the photos.

Yachts Available for Charter in Dubai Marina
Our entire fleet is docked in Dubai Marina and bookable today. The 42ft Marbella, 43ft Senorita and 44ft Isabella are our entry-luxury options from AED 389/hour, perfect for couples, small families and intimate groups of up to 12 guests. The 50ft Valentina (from AED 420/hour) is the most-booked mid-size yacht, with capacity for 25 guests and an open flybridge designed for skyline photography.

The Gugu Party Boat, a 50ft slide-equipped party platform, is also docked in Dubai Marina and bookable for groups up to 30.
Getting to Dubai Marina Yacht Club
Dubai Marina Yacht Club is on the eastern side of the marina, accessible from Sheikh Zayed Road via the Marina Plaza exit. Free guest parking is available within the yacht club for the duration of your charter. Ride-hail (Uber, Careem, RTA Taxi) drops directly at the yacht club entrance, and the closest metro station is DMCC on the Red Line — a short 5-minute walk to the dock.
After booking, we send a precise pin-drop with the exact berth number, the captain's WhatsApp contact, and step-by-step parking and arrival instructions. Most guests arrive 15–20 minutes before departure for a relaxed boarding — though we hold the yacht for late arrivals up to 30 minutes after the booked time.
Pricing & Availability
Dubai Marina yacht rental pricing is fully transparent and all-inclusive. Hourly rates start at AED 389/hour for the 42ft fleet, AED 420/hour for the 50ft Valentina, and AED 589/hour for the 66ft Bellavita. The Gugu Party Boat is AED 1,500/hour. All rates include captain, crew, fuel, soft drinks, water, ice and Bluetooth speakers.
Dubai Marina is busiest on Friday and Saturday afternoons, especially during winter (October–April) and around UAE National Day. We strongly recommend booking 7+ days in advance for peak weekends, but last-minute availability is excellent — we usually have at least 2–3 yachts ready within 2 hours' notice on any given day.
