Hire an 80 ft Yacht in Dubai

Stepping onto a mid-size motor vessel gives your party room to spread out across several distinct areas. Pelagia Gulf features 7 suitable boats among the 88 in our broader fleet that fit this length profile, with actual dimensions spanning 78-82 ft in length. The main deck typically houses a large air-conditioned salon equipped with soft seating, an indoor dining table, and direct access to an open aft area. Up above, a spacious upper flybridge offers panoramic views of the skyline, sun loungers, and shaded seating where guests can relax while cruising. Down below, the lower deck is configured with three to four private en-suite cabins, giving guests quiet spaces to rest or change during longer voyages across local waters. These layouts comfortably handle large groups, making them ideal for gatherings of 30 to 40 people, while our largest capacity vessel in this tier welcomes up to 50 guests on board. Every voyage is completely private for your group. If you prefer smaller motor vessels, you might also consider a 55 ft yacht for intimate family outings along the coast.

Maintaining standard maritime rules ensures the safety and comfort of everyone on board throughout the charter. Across our entire fleet, a barefoot policy is observed to protect the natural teak wood decking and delicate interior floor coverings from scuffs and grit; guests place their shoes in designated storage bins upon stepping aboard. High heels and hard-soled footwear are strictly prohibited on deck. This thoughtful guideline helps preserve the pristine condition of the lounge and deck spaces for everyone. Swimming is permitted only during daylight hours while the yacht is safely anchored in designated spots, as night swimming is prohibited under local safety guidelines. Adhering to these straightforward guidelines allows your group to enjoy a smooth, relaxing journey across the water with total peace of mind.

Departing from Dubai Harbour puts your group minutes away from the most famous waterfront sights along the coastline. On a standard two-hour cruise, the captain guides the vessel past the high-rise towers of JBR and around the base of Ain Dubai on Bluewaters Island, providing scenic photo opportunities from the open flybridge. Choosing a three-hour itinerary allows the yacht to circumnavigate the outer crescent of Palm Jumeirah, bringing you close to Atlantis The Palm before heading toward the sail-shaped Burj Al Arab. Extended cruises of four hours or more open up options to anchor in the sheltered lagoons near the Palm for swimming, or to navigate further along the coast toward the World Islands. Every route is tailored to your group's preferences, ensuring a relaxed pace while taking in the city's changing architectural views from the calm sea.

Enhancing your day at sea with specialized entertainment transforms a standard cruise into a complete celebration. Selected vessels in our fleet feature an upper flybridge jacuzzi where guests can relax while taking in 360-degree views of the shoreline. On request, our team arranges various water sports, including high-powered jet skis, flyboards, paddleboards, and towable inflatables that are brought directly to the boat while anchored. For structured celebrations, we can coordinate live DJ equipment setups, custom balloon decorations, and professional photography to capture every moment. Photographers can be booked from AED 500 per hour, while custom vessel decorations start from AED 350. If you wish to rent a yacht party experience for a birthday or corporate gathering, all arrangements are confirmed in advance through your chat manager to ensure the boat is fully prepared before you step on board in Dubai.

Every private voyage includes a fully licensed captain and experienced deck crew who handle all navigation, mooring, and guest safety from start to finish. Onboard entertainment systems feature multi-zone sound setups compatible with Bluetooth and AUX connections, letting you play your own playlists across the main deck, salon, and flybridge. We supply complimentary chilled mineral water, soft drinks, and ice boxes filled with ice to keep your refreshments cold throughout the trip. Event hosting and celebrations are easily supported by the vessel layout, and daylight swimming is permitted while anchored in calm waters before sunset. You may also arrange specialized add-ons like fishing gear; we can have rods, tackle and bait ready on board for AED 150. For fast group transfers along the shore, guests sometimes compare these vessels to a Dubai Marina speed boat for quick coastal transits before settling into a relaxed motor yacht cruise off Dubai.

Getting your group on board at Dubai Harbour is designed to be quick and straightforward. We advise all guests to arrive at the designated marina slip approximately 15 to 30 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time. This buffer allows your party to gather, meet your crew, and board without losing any of your reserved cruise time on the water. No passport or identity document is asked for at boarding, removing extra paperwork at the dock so you can step straight onto the deck. Your chat manager provides clear dock location maps and captain contact details prior to the charter date. Once your group reaches the berth, our deck crew assists everyone on board, conducts a brief safety overview, and helps you settle into the salon or upper flybridge as the captain prepares to launch into the harbour.

Planning time on the water depends on what you wish to see and accomplish during the voyage. We require a standard minimum cruise time, though four to six hours gives your party sufficient time to enjoy a full itinerary with swim stops and hot meals. Our rates run from AED 1,607 to AED 9,000 per hour depending on the exact vessel model selected from the harbour. Because value-added tax is already part of the quoted rate, nothing is added on top when your final balance is calculated. To secure a specific date on the fleet schedule, a 30 % deposit is required; we do not hold calendar slots without this advance payment. If you are organizing a special milestone, you can easily plan bachelor party Dubai yacht activities and entertainment in Dubai with our team via messaging, combining tailored time slots with custom party additions before setting sail across the coastal waters of Dubai.

Weather conditions on the sea can change, but bad weather is not the guest's loss when booking with Pelagia Gulf. If heavy swells, high winds, or official maritime warnings make ocean navigation unsafe on your charter date, your trip is moved to another convenient date or your payment returned in full. In cases where open-sea waters are rough but inner channels remain calm, alternative inland routes through sheltered waterways may be offered if your party prefers not to reschedule. For standard guest-initiated schedule changes unrelated to weather, adjustments should be requested well in advance through your chat manager. This clear policy ensures your financial investment remains completely protected whenever poor weather impacts your scheduled cruise along the Dubai coastline.

Dining on the water is completely flexible to match your group's preferences and event budget. Guests may bring their own food and drinks, alcohol included, with no corkage fee applied by our team. Alternatively, turnkey culinary services can be arranged in advance through your manager, including live open-air BBQ menus, Lebanese mezze spreads, fresh seafood platters, and full buffet setups served by our crew. Multi-course dinners can be served on board from AED 250 per guest, and celebration cakes brought on board start from AED 250. Having your fresh catch cooked on board is also available for AED 150. Fully equipped galley kitchens allow caterers or private chefs to prepare hot meals on site, ensuring your party enjoys high-quality food and chilled drinks throughout your cruise off Dubai.
