From Riva and Pershing to Benetti superyachts: how luxury yacht rental works in Dubai, what you get for the price and how to choose.
A luxury yacht rental in Dubai is a step above a standard charter. The yachts come from the world's best-known shipyards, they are bigger or more exclusive, and they come with a larger crew. Here is what to expect and how to choose the right one.
What makes a yacht a luxury yacht
- The shipyard: names such as Riva, Pershing, Sunseeker, Ferretti, Azimut, Benetti and Lamborghini Tecnomar
- The size: from sleek 54 ft sports yachts to superyachts of 49 metres
- The space: several decks, large salons and up to seven cabins
- The crew: more crew members, so service on board feels like a hotel
You can see all of them, with photos and hourly prices, on our luxury yacht rental Dubai page.
Luxury yachts in Dubai fall into three groups.
Sports yachts
Low, fast and eye-catching, for small groups of up to 12 guests. The Pershing 5X and the Lamborghini Tecnomar 63 are the stars of this group, made for a fast run along the coast and photos you will keep.
Flybridge yachts of 64 to 95 ft
The best balance of space and price for 15 to 30 guests: a salon, a large flybridge and a sun deck. The Riva 82 Diva and the Sunseeker 75 are good examples.
Superyachts from 32 metres
For weddings, corporate events and big celebrations, with room for up to 50 guests on several decks. The Benetti 42m and the Oceanfast 49m lead this group.
