Dubai Marina · 2–4 hours
A party on the water facing the Dubai Marina skyline: a night party with a DJ, a sunset party, a midday pool party, a superyacht, or a private yacht just for your group.
A yacht party in Dubai is one of the most popular ways to spend an evening in the city: you board a yacht, DJ music plays on deck, and you cruise along the coast facing the lit-up towers. On this page we've gathered every kind of yacht party you can book through us, from the shared night party to a private yacht that's entirely yours.
Most parties depart from the Dubai Marina area and from Dubai Harbour. Dubai Marina was inaugurated in 2000, and today more than 200 towers line its roughly 3-kilometre canal. Dubai Harbour has two marinas and a cruise terminal, and according to its official website it's the largest marina in the region. The combination of water, towers and lights is what makes the yacht party a different experience from a regular club.
The night party is the classic option. It starts in the evening hours, with a DJ, disco lights, and drinks included throughout the cruise. The cruise departs from Dubai Marina and runs for 4 hours, with a barbecue on deck, sliders and skewers. According to the yacht party's official website, there are usually 25 to 45 guests on deck.
Anyone who prefers daylight can choose the sunset party, between 16:30 and 19:00, with barbecue, a DJ and drinks, right as the sun sets over the Gulf. The pool party option, between 12:00 and 15:00, has barbecue, house beer and wine, and water activity with a slide. Both these options depart from Dubai Harbour Yacht Club.
The super yacht party is the big version. It departs at night from Dubai Harbour, with a DJ, live barbecue on deck, and a bar with beer, wine and spirits. On deck there's also Wi-Fi, voice guidance over the speakers, and help with photos. The cruise passes well-known landmarks, such as Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah.
A private yacht suits anyone celebrating something: a birthday, a bachelor or bachelorette party, or just an evening with friends. There are two party yachts: a 40-foot one, up to 12 people, and a 60-foot one, up to 40 people. The booking is by the hour, and the yacht is entirely yours. We'll confirm the cruise route, what's included on deck and the booking duration in writing when you book.
All yacht parties are for ages 21 and up, since that's the legal drinking age in Dubai. Before boarding, ID is checked, so you must bring photo identification. Come to enjoy the music, the views and the company, and drink at whatever pace suits you. The yacht also has soft drinks and water.

The choice depends on the hour that suits you. The pool party runs at midday, between 12:00 and 15:00, and suits anyone who wants to get into the water. The sunset party, between 16:30 and 19:00, suits anyone who wants to watch the sun set over the water and finish the evening early. The night parties start in the evening, when the Dubai Marina towers are already lit. We will confirm the exact departure times on your chosen day in writing at the time of booking.
