How a yacht charter with Assure works
You choose the date, the hours on the water and the guest list. We book a private yacht with its captain from our partner network, subject to availability, and add a chauffeur car from your door to the berth.
Your chauffeur collects the group at a time worked back from the boarding slot. From Downtown Dubai the drive to Dubai Marina is about 23 km on Sheikh Zayed Road (E11), roughly 25 minutes without traffic.
After the charter, the car is either waiting at the marina or comes back for the agreed time. It then takes you to your hotel, a restaurant or the next stop of the evening.
Where Dubai yachts leave from, and how long the drive takes
The berth is named in your quote. Many charters leave from Dubai Marina, along Marina Walk near Dubai Marina Mall. Some berth at Dubai Harbour, the peninsula between Dubai Marina, JBR and Palm Jumeirah.
Free-flow drive times from OSRM on OpenStreetMap road data. Sheikh Zayed Road is slower at the weekday morning and evening peaks.
| From | To | Road distance | Without traffic |
|---|---|---|---|
| Downtown Dubai | Dubai Marina Mall | about 23 km | about 23 min |
| Business Bay | Dubai Marina Mall | about 22 km | about 22 min |
| Atlantis The Palm | Dubai Marina Mall | about 13 km | about 19 min |
| Deira | Dubai Marina Mall | about 33 km | about 31 min |
| Dubai International (DXB) | Dubai Marina Mall | about 39 km | about 45 min |
| Al Maktoum International (DWC) | Dubai Marina Mall | about 34 km | about 41 min |
| Al Majaz, Sharjah | Dubai Marina Mall | about 42 km | about 40 min |
| Downtown Dubai | Dubai Harbour | about 22 km | about 22 min |
Landing on the day of the charter? Our Dubai airport pickup can take you from arrivals to the hotel first, or straight to the marina with the bags in the boot.
Which car takes your group to the berth
The car is sized to the guest list. These are cars from our own fleet, plus stretch limousines from partners.
| Guests | Car |
|---|---|
| Up to 3 | Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series |
| Up to 6 | GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade or Mercedes-Benz V-Class |
| Up to 13 | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 13 seats |
| Up to 19 | Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, 19 seats |
| Up to 12, for a party arrival | Hummer H2 stretch limousine, available through our partner network, subject to availability |
For a birthday or a hen party, the stretch limousine range also includes the 8-seat Chrysler 300 and the 10-seat Cadillac Escalade stretch. Both are available through our partner network, subject to availability. Our limousine service page covers the rest of the evening once you are back on land.
What you see from the water
From Dubai Marina, the route passes the Marina towers and the JBR beachfront. The Ain Dubai wheel stands on Bluewaters Island just offshore.
With more hours booked, a yacht can reach the Palm Jumeirah crescent and Atlantis The Palm. Longer charters can carry on along the coast towards the Burj Al Arab. The captain sets the route on the day, from your hours and the sea conditions.
Yacht or dhow cruise?
A dhow dinner cruise in Dubai Marina is a shared boat with a set boarding time and a buffet, priced per person. A yacht is private: your guests, your hours and your music, priced for the boat.
A dhow suits couples watching the budget. A yacht suits birthdays, proposals and corporate groups that want the boat to themselves, with a car to the berth.
What sets the price
Prices are quoted on WhatsApp for your date and group.
| Factor | How it changes the quote |
|---|---|
| Hours on the water | The main factor for the yacht |
| Guest count | Sets the size of yacht and car |
| Time of day | Daytime, sunset or evening slot |
| Catering, decorations and water sports | Added only if you ask for them |
| Car class | Sedan, SUV, van, minibus or stretch limousine |
| Car waiting or drop and return | A waiting car adds hours to the quote |
| Pickup area | Dubai, DXB arrivals or Sharjah |
Comfort and safety on board
Wear flat, soft-soled shoes, because decks get wet. Bring a passport or Emirates ID for each guest, as the partner yacht may check them before boarding.
Travelling with children? Ask us to confirm the yacht carries life jackets in their sizes. Guests prone to seasickness usually feel less motion on shorter charters close to the shore.
Make a day of it
The yacht can be one stop in a longer day. Book a car with driver by the hour and add lunch, a beach club or a mall before the charter. Or build a full sightseeing plan with one of our private tours and finish on the water at sunset.
Yacht or dhow cruise compares yachts with dhows, and the Dubai Harbour cruise terminal guide lists the harbour options.
Add an airport transfer
Landing the same day? The same booking can include your pickup from any UAE airport, with your name on a board in arrivals.
Questions and answers
Where do yacht charters in Dubai leave from?
From the berth named in your quote. Many leave from Dubai Marina, along Marina Walk near Dubai Marina Mall, about 23 km from Downtown Dubai. Others use Dubai Harbour, the peninsula between Dubai Marina, JBR and Palm Jumeirah. Your chauffeur needs the exact marina and berth, so we confirm both with the partner yacht before your date.
Is the yacht owned by Assure?
No. The yacht comes from our partner network, subject to availability, and its own captain runs the boat. Assure books it for you and adds the chauffeur car from your hotel to the berth and back. Your quote names the yacht, the berth and what is on board, so you know who does what before you accept.
Can the car wait while we are on the yacht?
Yes. The car can wait at the marina for the whole charter, or drop you and come back for the agreed time. Waiting suits shorter charters and groups with bags or gifts to leave in the car. A drop and return suits longer charters. Tell us which you prefer and the quote is built around it.
What can we see from the water in Dubai?
From Dubai Marina the water route passes the Marina towers and the JBR beachfront, with the Ain Dubai wheel on Bluewaters Island just offshore. With more hours booked, a yacht can reach the Palm Jumeirah crescent and Atlantis The Palm, and further along the coast towards the Burj Al Arab. The captain sets the route on the day.
Should I book a yacht or a dhow cruise?
A dhow dinner cruise is a shared boat with a set boarding time and a buffet, priced per person. A yacht is private: your guest list, your hours and your music, priced for the boat. A dhow suits couples on a budget. A yacht suits birthdays, proposals and corporate groups, with a car to the berth.
Is a yacht charter suitable for children?
Yes, with care. Ask us to confirm the partner yacht carries life jackets in your children's sizes, and send each child's age when you book. Flat, soft-soled shoes help on a wet deck. Guests prone to seasickness feel the motion less on short charters inside the Marina and close to the shore.
How do I book a yacht charter with a car?
Send a WhatsApp to +971 56 684 8148 starting 'Yacht on' with your date. Add how many hours you want on the water, the number of guests and your pickup address. Mention the occasion if there is one. The quote comes back in the same chat with the yacht, the berth, the car and what is included.
