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 Abu Dhabi 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.
Our Abu Dhabi listings are event yachts in the proper sense — built around lounges, sound, screens and barbecue decks, chartered by the hour and able to host large parties. Berths in the city and at Yas Marina put guests a few minutes from wherever they are staying.

Frequently asked questions

We list 2 yachts in Abu Dhabi 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?

How long is a charter booked for?
