The Gulf runs on a different calendar to the Mediterranean. The season here is the cooler part of the year, roughly October to April, when an evening on deck off the waterfront is the most comfortable place in the city. The water is flat, the distances are short, and the backdrop is architecture rather than cliffs.

Two kinds of charter work these waters, and we list both. Out of Abu Dhabi and Yas Marina, event yachts in the proper sense — built around lounges, sound, screens and barbecue decks, chartered by the hour and able to host large parties. Alongside them, private superyachts with cabins, beach clubs and full toy boxes, lying at Abu Dhabi and Dubai and taken by the day or over several days down the coast and into the neighbouring Gulf states. Either way the berths are minutes from wherever guests are staying.

Frequently asked questions

When is the season in the UAE and the Gulf?

The inverse of the Mediterranean: roughly October to April. Through the summer months it is too hot for comfortable time on deck, so the fleet works the cooler half of the year.

What yachts can I charter in the UAE and the Gulf?

We list 4 yachts in the UAE and the Gulf, from 19.8 to 50 metres — motor yachts. They run from Al Kous 62 at the compact end to Al Kous 164 at the top. This page is our own list rather than the whole market — if nothing here fits, a broker will bring you further options.

How many guests can we bring?

The yachts we list in the UAE and the Gulf take from 11 to 100 guests, depending on the yacht. Part of that range is deck capacity rather than berths: Al Kous 164 and Al Kous 62 are day charters and sleep far fewer than they carry. Across the fleet here there are 4–5 cabins.

How long is a charter booked for?

The yachts we list in the UAE and the Gulf are quoted by the hour, with a minimum booking that depends on the yacht and the date — typically a few hours, which covers a reception or a dinner cruise. Longer bookings and full days are quoted the same way.

How much does a charter in the UAE and the Gulf cost?

Rates in the UAE and the Gulf start from €2,500 per hour. Hourly rates work differently: fuel and berthing for the agreed route are normally inside the price, with catering and drinks quoted on top.

Is anything available for my dates?

Every yacht listed in the UAE and the Gulf is currently open for charter. Availability moves quickly in high season — send us your dates and we will confirm them, and suggest comparable yachts if they are gone.

How do I book a charter in the UAE and the Gulf?

Send us your dates, your party size and a rough idea of the route. A broker replies with availability, a firm quote and a draft itinerary. A deposit holds the date; the balance and any extras are settled before boarding, and we confirm the inclusions in writing so nothing lands on the invoice afterwards.
